SYMPTOMS
When you display or paint a bitmap in App Studio or the
Resource Editor, the colors appear to be correct. However, if you close the
bitmap and reopen it, some of the colors appear to be incorrect. For example,
white may appear to be grey.
CAUSE
The most common reason for this error is the video driver,
usually in 64K color mode.
RESOLUTION
Switch to the standard VGA driver that ships with Windows
or use a color resolution if you need the bitmap to display correctly. You
should also contact your video card manufacturer to get a newer version of the
video driver if it is available.
