SYMPTOMS
When you edit a bitmap by using the Resource Editor, you may observe that icons and bitmaps are distorted (lose form and change color) throughout the system. Also, the bitmap itself looks distorted in the Resource Editor.



CAUSE
This issue is caused by problems in certain video drivers.



RESOLUTION
Reducing the resolution, the number of colors, or both by using the display control panel applet may work around this issue. There is no fix for this issue at this time. For video driver updates, visit the Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition support pages on the Microsoft Web site.
