Not allowed to use 256 colors

I just purchased the ATI TV Wonder VE and I need to run 256 colors for it to run properly. I'm only being allowed to use 32 colors. My video card is a Diamond 32MB. Would this be a reason why I'm not given the option to have 256 colors? I just installed new drivers, so that shouldn't be a problem. Any ideas?

 

I think you may have the wrong driver installed. As the DIAMOND ATI RADEON 7000 Video Card with 32MB DDR supports Max [email protected] Color: [email protected]

For the latest Windows XP driver, see: http://www.diamondmm.com/support.php

 

Which is your video card? My video card is a Diamond 32MB..I just purchased the ATI TV Wonder VE. You have to remove one and install the other with new drivers for it to work properly.

 

So are you saying that with the video card I have, I won't be able to run 256 colors or I just need to get a driver update that will allow me to?

 

I wonder if we are mixing up colors and bits.
256 colors might be written as 8 bits. And the other hand the "32" might actually be 32 bits which is a whole lot more than 256 colors.

 

The Diamond 32MB video card that I have is about 4 years old (my computer is a bit out-dated). I just installed the TV Wonder VE. Does that now operate as my video card? Do I take out the old card?

 

My color is 32 bits, but why then does my colors get changed to 4 bits when I run the ATI TV program?

 

If you have installed the Wonder VE, Install the drivers that should have come with it on a cd.

Yes, you need to remove the old card.

 

I thought that this was a PCI slot card that you used with your "regular" video card?

 

TV WONDER™ VE is a TV card only, so you need your video card as well.

Do you have a Stealth S60 Graphics Accelerator Card from Diamond Multimedia, see:

As I stated have you downloaded and installed the latest driver for it?
