Hey guys, a video card question here.

I was playing the game Starcraft when I started having color issues. The screen would either partially or completely turn to really bright colors, like oil in water. Yellows and purples and greens and such. I researched the problem and found that I should probably get a video card instead of using onboard graphics. So I got a BFG Tech GeForce 6200 OC (OverClocked) 256MB DDR AGP Graphics card. The guy I got it from at Best Buy specifically said this card would be fine to play games like Starcraft, and even higher up games like Halo 2 (after turning off some accelerations).

It's all installed and I THINK it's working okay. But I can only get Starcraft to work when I turn the screen colors down to 8-bit (lowest). If I have Medium or Highest selected, I get the same color distortions.

Basic question: Is that normal? Is that right? Seems like it should work on any setting.
