SYMPTOMS
When you use Aldus PageMaker 4.0 with Microsoft Windows versions 3.1 or 3.11 and a Windows 3.0 high-resolution video driver, the page color turns to black after you minimize and then maximize PageMaker. This only occurs when you use a 256-color driver.



WORKAROUND
To return the page color, do the following:


 * 1) From the Element menu, choose Define Colors.
 * 2) Select Paper.
 * 3) Choose the OK button.



MORE INFORMATION
The following drivers were tested and reproduced the above problem:
 * Winspeed Tseng 800 by 600 by 256 colors
 * Dell PVGA600.DRV 800 by 600 by 256
 * Orchid 800 by 600 by 256 that comes with the ProDesigner II

The high resolution video drivers below that are supplied with the standard Windows 3.1 disks work correctly with PageMaker 4.0:
