Welcome to the thread Ann!
Question: Is there a way I can bypass this box in order to startup the game??
i think so, yes. Just change the color depth to 16. I guess, it has nothing to do with the screen resolution. It is exactly like the error message told you: The 16 color resolution is required not the screen resolution of 640x480. Some programs (older ones) just cant handle more than 16 colors.

To change the color depth you must go to the 'Display Properties' window, which pops up when you right click somewhere on your desktop and select 'Properties' in the pop up menu.
In The 'Display Properties' window select the 'Settings' panel and there in the lower left corner you'll find the 'Color' depth scroll bar. Change it to 16 colors and see if that helps.

OOPs, you are using Win95?
