Thanks Chris for the reply.!

I had tried resetting the palette initially and it didnt work.
I even tried using a memory DC to hold the window image
and bitblt this back to the hwndDC when the program came
back into focus. The image is there but has an awfull looking 
palette (all green and red and, neither of these colors are in the
the real image).

I have a routine in the code to move the window around
the screen and noticed that when the image looks as it should (colors)
that the image does not drag smoothly but when this (Red &Green)
image comes up, the image can be dragged around smoothly as
it does in 16 bit+ modes.

Im frustrated..... Thanks again, I 'll post the code if anyone would like.
