   You must have the Display Enhancer turned on.  In Super HiRes mode,
the Display Enhancer only samples every other pixel, producing the results
that you described.  Turn the Display Enhancer off, and you will see 
everything.

   The Super HiRes mode has a lot more than "some" color restrictions!!
In the Super HiRes and Productivity modes, the palette has been severely
crunched from 4096 colors to 64.  You are also unable to display more
than 4 colors at once, out of this 64-color palette.
