SYMPTOMS
========
 
You may experience display problems with the ATI Ultra Pro using 16.7
million colors. The areas along a coastline may appear to be corrupted or
blotchy.
 
RESOLUTION 1
============
 
Upgrade the ATI driver to the most current driver.
 
Contact ATI to obtain the latest version of the ATI Ultra Pro driver.
 
RESOLUTION 2
============
 
Reduce the number of colors to 256.
 
For more information about how to perform this task in Windows, see
your Windows printed documentation or online Help.
 
RESOLUTION 3
============
 
Disable the Polygon, Polyline, and Pixel settings for the ATI Ultra
Pro in the WIN.INI file.
 
1. Open the WIN.INI file in a text editor such as Notepad.
 
2. Modify the lines in the [MACH] section that read
 
      Polygon=
      Polyline=
      Pixel=
 
   so that they read:
 
      ;Polygon=
      ;Polyline=
      ;Pixel=
