I have a similiar laptop, so I tried it on mine just to see. However, under my display properties, Windows wont allow me to run 1024x768 at 8-bit, just 16-bit and 32-bit. How did you get yours to run that low of a color spectrum?
Setting this mode is a little tricky on WinXP but the easiest way I can think of to test this mode is as follows:
1. Right click on a shortcut for an existing application (such as Notepad) and select 'Properties'. In the 'Compatability' tab/panel check the box labeled 'Run in 256 colors'.

4. Run the application.

Is no one else seeing this problem???
Is there a workaround that will allow running this mode with 'Display Adapter Scaling' enabled but w/o the instability problems?
