SUMMARY
When running the RUNME setup program for Microsoft Macro Assembler
Version 5.10, the setup program changes the screen colors. On LCD
displays and some monochrome displays, the colors that the setup
program changes to are not visible. Therefore, when the setup program
is run, you can't see anything on the screen. The program is running
properly, but the text color is the same as the background color.
On the MS OS/2 and MS-DOS Macro Assemblers setup disk, there is a file
that holds all of the commands that the setup program RUNME uses. The
file is called SETUP.SUS and the first line in that file is as
follows:
CLS a: 30 "Microsoft(R) MASM 5.10 Setup"
To have the setup program use the standard colors of the operating
system, remove the "a: 30" from the file and rerun RUNME. This will
correct the problem.
The new line should be as follows:
CLS "Microsoft(R) MASM 5.10 Setup"
