[comp.windows.ms] Palette Problems

	I just got the ComputerEyes color video capture board, and am
	having problems with the palette in converting to .bmp. 
	If I capture in any of the 256 color modes, all is ok with
	a 256 color Paradise video driver.  However, with the standard
	VGA windows driver, and capturing in 16 color mode, the palettes
	are competely whacko.  I save in .gif format, and vpic, picem,
	vgaimg all show the proper colors.  However, using gif2bmp,
	or saving in .pcx and reading in with pbrush, the colors are
	all way off, and the resulting pictures seem to lack the resolution
	that the other viewers can display.  It seems pbrush can't change
	the palette of the current picture, just edit new colors.  Any idea
	on how to have windows change its palette?
