My computer broken down, so i bought another, but this only is '24-bit'. SL requires a '32-bit' display thing.

post specs ..sounds like it has a pile of garbage integrated video card.. 24bit? damn! its not a WIN95 is it?

you may have the settings for display set at 24 bit but that's pretty odd, or this new machine is a basic word processing office machine.
give some details specs of the new computer...

OS (vista/XP/? Linux)
CPU type and speed
RAMM
Video Card
Video Driver

And we can see and maybe help

Almost irrelevant, but I thought that the sequence did not include any 24-bit devices in the lineage of the 8086 to P4. I've lost track after the P4, of course. I blame my kids.

8086 and 8088 8-bit
80286 16-bit
80386 to P4 32-bit
