SUMMARY
=======
When running the RUNME setup program for Microsoft Macro Assembler Version 5.10,
the setup program changes the screen colors. On LCD displays and some monochrome
displays, the colors that the setup program changes to are not visible.
Therefore, when the setup program is run, you can't see anything on the screen.
The program is running properly, but the text color is the same as the
background color.
On the MS OS/2 and MS-DOS Macro Assemblers setup disk, there is a file that holds
all of the commands that the setup program RUNME uses. The file is called
SETUP.SUS and the first line in that file is as follows:
CLS a: 30 "Microsoft(R) MASM 5.10 Setup"
To have the setup program use the standard colors of the operating system, remove
the "a: 30" from the file and rerun RUNME. This will correct the problem.
The new line should be as follows:
CLS "Microsoft(R) MASM 5.10 Setup"
