I downloaded the latest Windows binaries from an official mirror. According to Help > About, This is GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE The problem I'm having is that when I run "runemacs.exe", the Emacs window comes up in "low color" mode. That is, the gnu image on the starting screen is dithered black&white and the toolbar is also in black&white (I guess it's using the "low-color" subdirectory icons), although other color-related items, like color themes, work fine at first glance. I am running this on Windows XP SP2 and the video driver is running at color depth of 32bits. Everything else runs fine on this system. How can I get Emacs to come up in non-"low color" mode?
