Thanks Dave,
I really appreciated your prompt reply!!!
As per your advice, I checked it. My device is set as "WIN"
here's what I got:
"Available Graphics Devices: CGM HP METAFILE NULL PCL PRINTER PS WIN Z
Current graphics device: WIN
Screen Resolution: 1680x1050
Simultaneously displayable colors: 16777216
Number of allowed color values: 16777216
System colors reserved by Windows: 0

NOTE: this is a TrueColor device
NOT using Decomposed color
Graphics Function: 3 (copy)
Current Font: System, Current TrueType Font: <default>

What do you think???
Best,
