Monochrome Video in Visual Basic 3.0 or Lotus Notes Desktop (102398)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q102398

SYMPTOMS

When using a display driver that provides 64K color (16 bits per pixel), Visual Basic version 3.0 and Lotus Notes Desktop both act as running in a monochrome environment.

CAUSE

The manner in which these applications detect the color mode results in incorrectly assuming that only monochrome color is available.

RESOLUTION

Use a color mode other than 64K. 24-bit color does not exhibit this problem.
