SYMPTOMS
========

You may not be able to see the window frame of a Multiple Document Interface
(MDI) window when you are dragging the window.

CAUSE
=====

In True Color modes, the color used for the window frame is virtually
indistinguishable from the default window background color.

RESOLUTION
==========

To make MDI window frames visible while you are dragging windows, use either of
the following methods:

- Change the window background to a different color on the Appearance tab in
  the Display tool in Control Panel.

- Change the color palette to a High Color mode, or a lower mode, on the
  Settings tab in the Display tool in Control Panel.
