This is the classic symptom of running your Windows 95 machine in
either 16-bit or 24-bit color mode. In either of these modes you have
to redisplay your graphic window to see the effect of the color changes.

For example, like this:

; Load a gray-scale color table and display the image.

LOADCT, 0
TVSCL, DIST(300,400)

; Load a red-temperature color table and re-display the image.

LOADCT, 3
TVSCL, DIST(300,400)

To restore your Windows NT behavior, use your monitor control panel to
configure your monitor for 8-bit (256 color) mode.
