I have a citrix client and i want to change the display settings from 256 colors to 16-bit or 32. I can't change the settings, doesnt give any options, nor can i change the pixel settings. Scroll just wont move. I have tried logged in as an administrator same result. Some client machines have this problem others are set to 16-bit which cannot be changed either. The funny thing is they're using the same display driver and monitor on all clients. Any ideas?? Could this be a user related issue.

I've found out how to adjust the settings. Before you actually log on and connect to citrix you can select the c/panel option and adjust it from there. I adjust the pixel size and set the color settings to the same as the other clients which have the settings i want. Yet stilll it displays 256 colors.
Any other suggestions?
It didnt work but i found the window option and changed it to 16 colours.
Now when i connect i get this error msg, "The following requested video mode was not available 800 * 600 *4 BPP. The video mode has been set to the following mode 800 * 600 * 8BPP.
Video mode for existing sessions cannot change.
Any ideas, i am not familar with citrix watsoever.
Can someone talk me through this step by step.
Thankyou.
If you are finding that this issue is limited to specific computers, then it is most likely the way the Citrix Program Neighborhood connection is set up on each workstation. If you are finding that this is happening site-wide, this is most likely as it is set up on your server:
Open the Citrix Program Neighborhood
Right click your settings for your connection (on the server or workstation)
Go to "Custom Connection Settings"
Click the Default Options tab
Change your "default settings" as needed.

Sounds like client settings ... do you know how it's setup on the server ?
I don't think it's a user related issue.
