Alan,

At least we found the right tree. *s* (I used to live in Lynchburg VA)

I don't recall now if the spec for JPG really allows much else by 16m colors. The video driver ought to be reducing the color depth of the image to fit what the image really does have. Maybe all you need here is an updated video driver on the problematic box.

I replace it with a newer one an bumped the resolution to 1024x768. By default the screen colors remained at the lowest setting of 256 colors. I changed the color density to 16 bit and it works fine.
