    Hi guys.
    Can someone please help me fix this problem.
    I only get 16bit color in xp but in vista there
    is no problem I have 32 bit. When I change
    resolution to 32 in xp on next boot it rechanges
    itself to 16 again.! I have all fn keys working and
    power management and this is only issue I have with
    xp :(
