try doing it from your desktop (ya know, rt click , properties, settings etc)
I don't know that it will make a difference, but i suppose it's worth a try.

There is a video8.cfg file in the settings folder that I've used to force a resolution.  It also has an entry for the colour depth - I'd imagine setting the variable to 16 would force 16bit colour.

You can however simulate 16 bit color by using a 6-bit per pixel LCD monitor instead of an 8 bit per pixel screen...  Buyer beware and all that, I have a beautiful NEC lcd that I got for a decent price and I get color banding pretty much everywhere now.  Bah.
