I'm not really sure why it isn't working. So we will need to go  through
it slowly to see if we can find the cause.
 
Firstly - if you go back to the default VRPC version of RISC OS
(4.02 or 4.39) can you then select the 1400 x 900 mode in full
24bit?
 
If not then we need to take a look at the !Boot sequence:
 
Rename the current !Boot as something sensible (e.g. TempBoot)
(note the lack of a ! character). Rename the "Bootxxx" that was
backed up by the RISC OS 6 installer as !Boot. Shut down and
restart - does VRPC now display the correct resultion at the
correct colour depth?
