Hi!

My G3 seems to be displaying thousands of colours instead of millions,
although the setting is on millions of colours in the control strip. The
monitor is now set at 832x624 and was displaying millions of colours fine
until recently. The main symptom is that some GIFs which were previously
displaying well are now badly dithered, both in Netscape 4 and also in
Photoshop.

I have changed the gamma settings recently while working on some Web graphics.
Is that a possible cause?

One other suggestion is that there has been a VRAM failure...... How might I
check up on this?

Any suggestions on the cause and remedy would be much appreciated.

CJ

Have a look in the Monitors control panel and check the setting there.
btw, if your monitor is set to thousands of colours, the average GIF
(256 colours) should be displayed perfectly well.

Very unlikely.

I get the same problem if both Netscape and Photoshop are running. Quit one
of them and the problem vanishes.
