Yes, but I am not sure if you like it.The only way I know is to switch the
colordepth of the PC to 8bit Color (256 Colors).

A simple fix is to reset your PC to use a 256 color desktop. If you are
running Windows 95/98, this involves right clicking on the desktop,
selecting 'Properties', selecting 'Settings', then selecting 256 colors
in the 'Color Palette' box.
If you want to understand why this behavior occurs on PCs, then check
