WORKAROUND
Use the following steps to work around the problem:
 * 1) Return to PowerPoint.

Each time you return to PowerPoint, you must minimize it before returning to the Kids' application.



RESOLUTION
The only known resolution is to upgrade to Windows 95 or to use Windows NT.



MORE INFORMATION
The palette shift results from interaction between PowerPoint's graphics display palette management system and the Windows video driver.
