Good day, friends. I have a question concerning color settings for various programs. My computer's current/default setting is "High Color (16 bit)". I just installed a program (game) that will only work with the "256 Colors" setting. I changed the setting but then I got a text box that said some programs might not work unless I restart the computer now. So, I changed it back to High Color/16 bit. 

My question concerns what to do about this. If I want to run this program, do I have to change the setting and restart every time? Alternatively, what risks do I run if I leave the setting at 256 colors. I know there are programs that require the high color/16 bit setting. It is confusing since I don't know what the best operating standard is. Would I be better off to just uninstall the new program and not use any programs that require 256 colors?

I know it is futile, but there is this little voice in my head saying "why do 'they' do this to us"? Sometimes I feel like I have a metric wrench and an American standard bolt. 

Thanks for helping.
