<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>I took your advise and re-installed every

<DIV><BR>Jacob,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Mapserver does not interact with any graphic board drivers. I does use
<BR>dll's for the graphics libraries and it is possible that these might
<BR>have been changed if you did a windows update or some such thing that
<BR>replaced the graphics libraries.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If this is happening solely on this system, then I would suggest that
<BR>you should re-install mapserver and its associated libraries. It is
<BR>possible that a library got damaged or replaced. I would also check that
<BR>you really are using the same mapfile on both systems, etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Beyond that, I'm not sure what else I would suggest.</DIV>

I did realise one thing I changed recently; I updated my graphics card <BR>>
drivers. I know that that SHOULD not have any effect on the physical <BR>>
image being generated, but.... it would explain why I saw this problem <BR>>
before with two machines where the only difference was that they had <BR>>
different hardware.<BR>> Is there any connection between graphic card drivers
and mapserver? As <BR>> far as I know, the drivers shouldn't have anything to
do with that. Just <BR>> that I can't think of anything else.<BR>>
<BR>> Tried viewing the mapimage in photoshop, but no difference. It seems
<BR>> like it uses a whole different library to compress to jpg. If I
generate <BR>> the same image from our production server, it creates a proper
image. <BR>> The good image is smaller in filesize than the bad image, but
looks <BR>> proper, and has a higher count of individual
colours.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Jacob<BR>> <BR>>
