SYMPTOMS
========

After you apply Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2, coloring problems may occur with
OpenGL applications where the wrong colors are drawn in a wide variety of
situations.

CAUSE
=====

This is a problem associated with the Opengl32.dll file in Service Pack 2.


RESOLUTION
==========

Copy the Opengl32.dll from the Windows NT 4.0 CD to the %SystemRoot%\System32
directory, replacing the Opengl32.dll file from Service Pack 2. (%SystemRoot% is
the installation directory of the Windows NT.system files.)

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0 Service
Pack 2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
