Following his wise advice I hit the KB article and it recommends switching the color depth from 32-bit to 16-bit and back again.<br /><br />My new machine was set at 16-bit to start (not sure what Lenovo was thinking when they made this selection). I switched it to 32-bit and BINGO I have the proper foxheads. What a relief.<br /><br />Thanks Rick, it is nice to know I have so many smart friends. Sure enough Rick Borup is a genius!

My new machine was set at 16-bit to start (not sure what Lenovo was thinking when they made this selection). I switched it to 32-bit and BINGO I have the proper foxheads. What a relief.

Thanks Rick, it is nice to know I have so many smart friends.
