[comp.os.os2.misc] Colors in PM

A question... (probably a very simple one, but I don't know the answer...)

I use OS/2 EE 1.1. When I try to display a GIF picture on the desktop 
background (e.g. with DESKTOP), the colors change, or even disappear!
It seems that the Presentation Manager doesn't support al colors.

Even a black and white picture (like MOON.GIF) is not displayed the way it
should be displayed. (A GIF-viewer in full-screen mode or the DOS box works
fine).

My question: is it possible to solve this problem, or is it just the way
the Presentation Manager works?


Thanks!
