	If you set the number of colors to 2 the effects work fine.  It has to
	do with the screen memory use; the effects must have been written for
	the Old-Fashioned black-and-white displays, with traps to ignore the
	color displays.  You should see MacPaint in 256 colors: Five cute little
	multi-colored windows across the top of the screen, all synchronously
	updating. :-)
