Are you running the Win 95 machine at > 256 colours?

If IDL for Windows is run with the display set at > 256 colours, colours in
plot
windows are not affected by changes in the colour tables until the window
is redrawn.
I understand from a recent thread that this occurs with the Macintosh & X
Windows
Manager also.

I don't know of a work-around, except to reduce the colour depth on your
system (and
lose those lovely full-colour icons!). Under Mac and X, PSEUDO_COLOR
keyword to DEVICE
might affect this behaviour, but this keyword is not available for the WIN
device.
