I assume you have a video card capable of suporting 256 colors.  If so,
you need to create a logical palette based upon the colors needed in the 
image, select it into the device context and realize it before displaying.
If your using the SDK, there's a section on logical palettes in one
of the volumes.  It's the programmer's guide I believe.  

Remember to realized the palette just before creating the bitmap also.
