Known problems or conflicts
Computer Desktop Encyclopedia cannot display pictures with Number Nine Imagine display adapter with driver version 2.32 installed. To fix this, put ClipRect=0 into the SYSTEM.INI file under the Imagine group.

If using Number Nine Imagine display adapter with driver version 3.02, then white streaks appear in various bitmaps and when changing from normal to zoom mode. No fix yet from Number Nine, but they are aware of the problems, which they claim are theirs.
