Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

After you change the default foreground and background colors in Paint and you click New on the File menu, the background color of the new file is the color you selected, but the color palette reverts to black and white.

RESOLUTION

Paint is designed to retain the selected color combination when you open a new file. If you prefer to maintain the white background, return to the default background before you open a new file.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
