GrayScale maps disrupted by Quicken

Is there any out there running Quickken on a gray scale or color monitor?  I have an LC 4/40 with the 12" Apple monochrome monitor, standard 256K VRAM, running System 7.0.1-TunedUp.  I run the system with 16 shades of gray (the most available for this configuration).  

When I start Quicken 3.0, it rearranges the grays in the colormap (grapmap?) for the machine.  Consequently, most of the nice shading affects get lost.  As soon as I quit Quicken,  the map goes back to normal.  

This is easily demonstrated by bringing up the Monitors control panel first (it shows the grap map at the bottom - 16 shades neatly scaled from dark to light), then starting Quicken.  The screen flashes, and the shades in the Monitor cp window are all rearranged.  Quit Quicken and the shades arrange themselves in order again.  It happens even if I boot with extensions disabled.  

Can someone else please try this.  Even if you have a color system, you can set it to run in 16 shades of gray (though, that configuration may not be a very valid test of my problem).

Any ideas on why this is happening?  I talked to the Quicken support people and they had not seen this problem before.

Thanks,
Carl
