Ho do i use stillcolor to acquire color images using a PCI-1409 and MAX 4.3

I have a Hitachi KP-D20A that at some point I had setup correctly and was acquiring color images with my PCI-1409 and whatever version of MAX that came with my NI software pack which came with Labview 7.0 and IMAQ. It says version 6.1 on the IMAQ disks, but half the disks say 6.1 on them so I'm not sure. These are from Spring 2003. Anyway it worked fine until I upgraded to Vision Acquisition Software 8.5.1 in order to be able to access my hardware in Matlab. Anyway, now when i try to use the camera in MAX, it comes up and I can grab and snap fine using my old camera file which is still on here. However, now everything is monochrome and their dont appear to be any options of changing this. So i look stuff up on this website and i get pointed towards using stillcolor on my PCI-1409 to do this. Unfortunately, none of the help files appear to provide a good explanation of what to do in this new version of MAX. They all reference things in the Operating Mode tab which simply are not there. And the only tabs I have for my interface is the general tab, and the help files act as if there should be others.

Here are examples of such help files. http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/CC743C416E390C008625683F007562C7. http://www.ni.com/support/imaq/clr1408.htm
