Introduction

Microsoft ClipArt Gallery objects on PowerPC 603- or 604-based Power Macintosh computers may appear as gray hashed boxes instead of the selected ClipArt Gallery images. This problem may be related to the status of the Modern Memory Manager.

The ClipArt Gallery 1.1a Patch included with this downloadable file allows Microsoft ClipArt Gallery to function with Modern Memory Manager active on a Power Macintosh with the PowerPC 603 chip and with Modern Memory Manager disabled on a Power Macintosh with the 604 chip.

For a more comprehensive description of Modern Memory Manager and the related ClipArt Gallery issues, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
