Update your graphics drivers and make sure the correct monitor model is listed in device manager.

Rightclick on My Computer, select Properties, and in the hardware tab you'll find device manager.

How high have you set your resolution ? Maybe it's too high for the Savage 3 to display it in 32 bit color.

Then you don't have Windows 2000 or Windows XP. So why don't you tell us which one you have ?
If it's Win9x it's the device manager tab. . Windows NT however has no device manager.

Anyway, have you ever had 32 bit color at 1024x768 resolution ? What if you bring it down to 800x600 ?
