Every time i try to start DS, i get an error saying that it needs to be in 16-color mode even though it's in 16-bit color when i check the properties..

What operating system are you running? Also, how are you running DS? Are you using the Creatures Exodus package from GOG, one of the demo discs that were given out Way Back In The Day, client download from Creature Labs or one of its mirrors, etc.?

GOG installed games are optimized to run on later operating systems. An outdated version of DS may require you to run the game in compatibility mode in addition to changing the color settings.

Alright, so i'm still having problems with DS, sometimes it says i need to change the settings to high 16-bit color mode, and other times it's this
Click and it stays like that. yes it loads, but it auto kills the menu.
