    Windows 7; Need 32 bit Color Calibration


    I need 32 bit color to calibrate color & run windows media center; and my video card is not compatible with display driver model WDDM.
    All my settings & adjustments make everything way too big or way too small and blurry in windows 7. I'm set up with dual boot xp-sp3 and windows 7 build 7000. Display is great on xp side, but I cannot get adjusted to 32 bit color calibration in Win 7.
    Any suggestions ???
    Thanks.

    I have the stock video card in my Dell B-110 Desktop, xp-sp3 is 32 bit. When I troubleshoot in the Action Center I get the reply that my video card driver is not compatible with Display Driver Model WDDM. When I try to adjust the color it shows 256 color only. I dunno.

    32 bit color


    I'm not sure where you're talking about. I went into backup & restore and all was gray & white. I installed build 7068 and there is an amazing differance in quality but I still have the 32 bit problem. All is well on xp but I may need to install a video card. Also, I use Acronis Imaging for backups, not windows.
    Gotta go. Thanks for reply. If you know of an adjustment I'm missing, please let me know.

    I went to best buy and picked up a GEFORCE 8400 GS graphics card and my computer (xp & Win 7) came alive with so many settings & adjustments especially in the media center. Between the graphics card; Creative sound card & Windows 7 all I can say is AMAZING! If anyone is having resolution problems and trouble with the media center I highly advise to pick up a descent graphics card and burn Build 7077. Everything is ironed out in 7077.
