Re: ANY SUGGESTIONS - IE 6.0 has problems with 1 Bpp color under CE 5.

1. The JPEG thing has been around for a *long* time and isn't likely to be
fixed. The only work-around is to not have the display driver look like a
monochrome display. If you are using a mono LCD panel, most of them can
handle 16 gray scales. You'd alter the display driver to configure that in
the display controller. You could try to get MS to fix this JPEG rendering
error by calling the support number which you can find in the PB Help menu.

2. No idea on this at all. I use a mono panel (well, it's set for 256 gray
shades). It doesn't suffer from this sort of problem. Maybe your palette
is wrong? Maybe the hardware palette programmed into the controller is
mapping white to black (you could try drawing a white rectangle in a test
program to check that out)?
