Monitor Color Changes

When I start AMN my monitors lose color definition - looks like they may have dropped back to 8 colors.

The only way I have found to restore normal display is to restart/reboot which is a pain.

I don't see any other reference to this behavior.

Hmm.. very odd... AMN is not changing screen resolution/color depth. For over 4 years of AMN existence we've never heard of this kind of issue... My feeling - it's something very tightly related to hardware drivers. Try to download and install the most recent graphic card driver for your PC, hopefully it will fix the problem. Also, would be a good idea to submit this bug to your video hardware vendor. I'm confident that it's graphics card issue, since, as I've said, AMN doesn't changes screen mode.

I found out that it was the Properties of the shortcut. They were set to run in 256 colors. I have no idea how or why, but that was the issue because it had to change the properties of the whole display in order to run that shortcut at 256.

Possibly it was set simply by an accident from your end, cause we kind no reports of this kind ever.

I agree, I must have done it somehow at my end. I am reminded of a saying "If it happens it must be possible" :)
