SYMPTOMS

When you use Service Pack 2 for Windows NT 4.0, various coloring problems may arise that are not present in previous versions. The coloring problems involve drawing the wrong colors in a variety of situations.

RESOLUTION

Contained within the Glsp2fix.exe self-extracting file are 3 versions of Opengl32.dll. If you believe you are experiencing the above-mentioned problems, copy the version of Opengl32.dll corresponding to your version of Windows NT (that is intel, alpha, or powerpc) over the Opengl32.dll that came with Service Pack 2 for Windows NT 4.0.

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Software Library:
