[RBASE-L] - Re: Strange colors in XP

[Javier Valencia]

Karen: I have the same problem on my Toshiba laptop running XP Home at 1024x768 and Highest Color Quality; I have tried changing the screen resolution and color quality with no luck. If your button is small enough where the text takes most of the button face space, it is difficult to see; however, if you make the button large enough where the text is small in relation to the button overall size, then it becomes very obvious. I have also tested it on an older laptop with WIN98 and it displays correctly and so does my Compaq desktop running WIN 98SE; however, I have notice this problem on some clients’ DELL desktops running WIN 2000. Have you tried it on your old laptop with WIN98?   Javier Valencia, PE President Valencia Technology Group, L.L.C. 14315 S.

Karen Also right-click on a blank space on your desktop, choose properties, and then choose the "Settings" tab. See if you can change the "Color quality" setting to a higher setting. When I fiddled with the individual icons and the "run in 256 color setting," this setting got set down to 8 bit, and made everything else ugly. Bill
