I'm getting very poor display quality when I use the picture control to
display jpg images when I've setup win95 to be in 256 colors.  They look
great in high or true color.  It appears to be a pallette problem.  I've
tried the available settings on the form for pallettemode property on the
form but UseZOrder is the best but not very good.  Image quality looks
great with other image formats like bmp.

Any ideas?

jpg images are in 16 million colors, you can't get around it.  If your
display is set up for 256 colors, you'll get crappy results viewing a
picture with 16 million colors in it since windows just tries to match the
closest color.  It's not the picture control.  Try opening the picture in
PSP or another viewing program.  It'll still look terrible with your
display set to 256 colors.  So what I'm saying is, is if you're viewing
.jpg's, your display must be set to at least 65,000 colors to have them
look good.  Good luck.

I guess what I didn't mention was that if I open those images with other
programs, they look much better than they do with the picture control.  

Cheerio,
