Canvas Limitations with VGA 16-Color Mode (50157)

This article was previously published under Q50157

The following information about increasing your canvas size for Microsoft Paintbrush with a VGA display adapter is found on the Microsoft Paintbrush 4.00 Program disk in the file PBREADME.DOC.

If you've installed MS Paintbrush for the VGA display adapter and selected the 640 x 480, 16-color mode, your canvas size may be limited to less than a full screen. You can increase the canvas size in one of the following two ways:

1. Reinstall Paintbrush by running PBSETUP from the disk and directory where Paintbrush is installed and select the same 640 x 480 VGA resolution but with eight or four colors.
2. Reinstall Paintbrush and select "None" for your printer.
