This article was previously published under Q134420 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should also contact your video card manufacturer to get a newer version of the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.
