I forgot to mention, windows might call the color mode 32 bit, this is 
the same as linux 24 bit or 32 bit. Some of the specifications refer 
only to the RGB depth, at 8 bits per channel, while others also include 
the alpha channel (transparency, 8 bits, which is in addition to the RGB 
channels). My system is set to 24 bit, but is 32 bit if you consider 
alpha channel. Some drivers will say 32 bit, and be exactly the same as 
one specifying 24 bit. If windows says you're in 32 bit mode, try 24 bit.
