Is it a windows error message or a SS error message taht tells you you cant set your computer to 800x600?

Also, what're you system specs (vid card, vid driver version, windows version etc)?

'32' refers to 32-bit color. Try running the game in 16 bit color.

What kind of video card/OS etc are you running?
