Looking back through older e-mail, I found this from you:

So it looks like you had trouble with color depth of 16 but not with
24!  Interesting to say the least.  I run with color depth 16 and
don't have the trouble you described, even with the map that you
sent me.  Anyone else seeing lots of lines across the screen with
DOS/winAPRS maps?
