Try changing your MSWindows Desktop resolution to 16 bit color.

Then try again.

what if you can't change from 24 to 16?

say... because of admins?

i need to run things at work that this xp garbage won't run, but i don't want to boot from disk to usb and risk throwing up flags when a comp connects to the network without their stuff running on it.

i like the embedded idea because i could minimize it when the boss is around if i'm not doing something productive on it :), but restrictions do not allow me to change depth.


please advise

If this is your problem, don't use DSL embedded.

Instead, use DSL + vmware player.  The vmware player is free and there is a ready-made vmware DSL image at the DSL download site.
