PRB: App Studio Displays Incorrect Colors for Bitmaps

• The Resource Editor, included with:
  • Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, 16-bit edition, versions 1.0, 1.5, 1.51, 1.52
  • Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 6.0

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 You should also contact your video card manufacturer to get a newer version of the video driver if it is available.
