[Bug 23454] New: Application refuses to run unless in 8-bit (256 colour) mode
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23454 Summary: Application refuses to run unless in 8-bit (256 colour) mode Product: Wine Version: 1.2-rc5 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: markk(a)clara.co.uk I'm trying to get an educational CD-ROM published by Knowledge Adventure, "Jump Ahead Toddlers 2000" to work in Wine. Running AUTORUN.EXE on the disc, the program displays an error dialog box saying it must be run in 256-colour mode. There's no console output. While Windows has a compatibility mode setting to run in 256-colour mode, there doesn't seem to be a equivalent feature in Wine, even when using virtual desktop mode. Is there a general workaround for those older programs which refuse to run in 16-bit or higher depth modes? I'd suggest an option in Winecfg to fake 256 colour mode, so any programs which check the desktop depth are told it is 8. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
