Why only 256 colors?

[Agra]

Am I missing something or is this a hard limit? I was certain I was getting 32-bit color options with Geiss 1. Here FullScreen only offers 256 colors as an option.

Yeah, for some reason my only options are 256c under all resolutions.

Same problem here...

Got Windows XP with a MSI Geforce 4.

But for an unknown reason, Geiss on Winamp 2 is working perfectly...so I stick with it.

It lies. Run Geiss, do Print Screen, paste it in Paint Shop Pro, then count colours used. One I got 12000 colours which is far more than 256. But seriously, does it even *look* like 256 colours to you guys??

You don't understand. We only get this problem under Geiss II. Not Geiss. In Geiss II we don't even have the option for anything higher than 256 colors. I think it's just programmed for 256 colors.
