Compiler question - Win XP and Windows Server 2003

[Jim Ault]

Thanks for the suggestion.
The display setting is at medium, 16 bit.
Changing the XP Pro machine to that displays the file.exe properly, so there
must be another issue (I cannot change the server display from 16 to 32 bit,
but it probably would not matter)

Thanks for the tip.
