256 Colors?

[Spectre]

When I try to start the game it says that I have to have the display set to at least 256 colors? What does that mean and how can I correct this? Any suggestions?

Go to the games properties go to properties then check the box that says reduced color mode and set it to 8-bit (256) color.

256 colors was an display mode which was supported on Windows 98.
Next to 256 Colors there are 16-bit and 32-bit. The last two are standard since Windows XP. ;)

mine is saying the same thing and i have Windows 8. How do I change that setting?

A: Go to the game's folder, right click JKM.EXE, go to Properties, then the Compatability tab, and enable Windows XP (Service Pack 2) mode. You can even unset it later if you want, and it'll still work!
