PRB: Bitmap Editor Distorts Icons and Bitmaps

ID: Q157543

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When editing a bitmap using the Resource Editor, you may observe that icons and bitmaps are distorted (lose form and change color) throughout the system. Also, the bitmap itself looks distorted in the Resource Editor.

CAUSE

This is caused by problems in certain video drivers.

RESOLUTION

Reducing the resolution and/or the number of colors using the display control panel applet may work around this problem. There is no fix for this problem at this time. Please check the Windows NT and Windows 95 support pages on the Microsoft Web (http://www.microsoft.com) for video driver updates.
