PRB: Correcting Dialog Boxes That Turn Pink and Green
Last reviewed: April 25, 1997

Article ID: Q167434

The information in this article applies to:


 * Softimage 3D for IRIX, version 3.51

SYMPTOMS
When you use the scroll bar while the Show Icon is on, browser windows may become pink and green.

CAUSE
This is a known problem that occurs only when running SOFTIMAGE 3D on O2 systems.

RESOLUTION
To prevent this from occurring, complete the following steps:


 * 1) From a UNIX shell, enter the command: xscreen.
 * 2) Set the frame buffer to "32+32."

This anomaly should no longer occur.

SYMPTOMS
The following error message appears when you try to execute SOFTIMAGE 3D, showpic, or flipbook on NT 4.0:

"Error Message-You appear to be running in a non-true-color   display mode."

CAUSE
SOFTIMAGE 3D for Windows NT can only run in true-color modes.

RESOLUTION
You must copy the gl4emult.dll file to the SI_LOCATION\3D\bin location. A gl4emults.zip file is located on the Softimage ftp/incoming site. It contains all three CPUs (Alpha, Intel, and MIPS) of the dll.
