Windows FAQ

WHY DO JPEG LOSSLESS TRANSFORMS RESIZE AN IMAGE?
JPEGs are stored as 8x8 pixel MCU blocks. The image can only be rotated losslessly if the image width and depth are evenly divisible by 8. If not, a few pixels may have to be thrown away so that it is possible. Of course, once this is done, the image has the correct dimensions and further rotations will not alter it.

PRINTER DRIVER BUGS
Printer driver problems are common on Windows 95/98. If you have a problem printing from this version of PMView, we recommend that you uninstall and reinstall the printer driver. This usually solves the problem.

HOW DO I CHANGE THE BACKGROUND COLOR OF PMVIEW'S MAIN WINDOW?

  1. Select "Start->Run" in Windows.
  2. Type "REGEDIT" and press enter.
  3. Open up "HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Nielsen Software->PMView->2.0->Window".
  4. Right click on "Window" and select "New->DWORD value".
  5. Type "BackgroundColor" in the field and press enter. Then double click on "BackgroundColor".
  6. Now type in the color value. It should be in 6 digit hexadecimal format RRGGBB. For instance FFFFFF is white, FF0000 is red and 00FF00 is green color. Click OK. Now PMView will use the color you specified.
