PRB: Help File Missing Green Text Using WACOM Tablet

ID: Q76069

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When the Windows Help application is run on a system with a WACOM tablet installed, context jumps and glossary entries do not appear on the screen.

CAUSE

The default color for Windows Help hypertext keywords is light green. The recommended settings for using Windows with the WACOM tablet disable the green video signal.

RESOLUTION

Two settings in the WIN.INI file allow the user to specify a different color for the hypertext keywords. Use a text editor to modify the WIN.INI file. Find the [Windows Help] section. Add two lines that resemble the following:

JUMPCOLOR=(255,0,0)
POPUPCOLOR=(255,0,0)

This process will change the hypertext keywords to red. The value to the right of the equal sign represents a red, green, blue (RGB) color-value triple. While any color can be specified, because the green signal is disabled, changing the green parameter will make no difference in the color selected.
