Curtis, The color shifts you are seeing are because of the way the Windows color Palette reacts with the FLC files. Out of the 256 color palette, Windows reserves the first 10 and last 10 palette positions for it's own use. So when you load FLC file which use the same positions, there are conflicts. Convert your animations to use a palette of 236 colors, leaving the first ten and last ten positions unused within the animaton. Also, a common palette for each frame of the animation (of 236 colors) will help as well. For your ASK ME presentation, it should work exacly the same with the updated drivers, unless the ASK ME people modified the files in some way. Ask the if they did, if so, you will need to use their drivers. If not, than the new drivers should work fine, there is something else that must have happened when you installed the drivers to mess up the environment. -Brian
