Subject:	program requires 256 colour mode?

I have a couple of (older) game programs that refuse to start if the screen
is not in 256 colour mode - if it's 16 or 24 bit. I suppose this is
something to do with needing to use palettes which I don't think are used in
modes higher than 256 colour. Now, it's a pain to have to change the screen
mode every time I (or my daughter) wants to play, and it's a pain using
other programs in 256 colour when one of them is just minimised.

Does anyone know a way you can fool a program into thinking the system is in
256 colour mode? And still to display its graphics correctly? These are both
windows programs. I have Win95 B.

thanks - Joe
