How to set color depth

[Craig]

I loaded a kind of atlas. When clicked, it prompted following warning:

The video display is not set to your preferred color depth for this program.
You can exit the program and use
desktop properties to change the color depth.

My screen was set at 1024 x 768 px with 32 bits.

Could someone tell me what the color depth is and how to adjust it? Satoshi
