-
-
- **UPGRADING**
-
- If you are upgrading from version 1.3 or older, run the new version and delete all recorded video
- modes. Then use Windows SETUP to switch to another mode. You may now go through the process
- of re-recording your video modes in VidSwitch. This process is necessary due to a bug in
- older versions that prevented the correct font information from being written to
- WIN.INI and sometimes resulted in incorrect font sizing.
-
-
- BUGS, INCOMPATIBILITY
-
- VidSwitch has been tested with all standard Windows video drivers. We cannot
- guarantee compatibility with every video driver in circulation. If VidSwitch
- causes problems with your display, simply reboot your machine and go to your
- Windows directory in DOS and type SETUP. You can then change back to the previous
- video driver that was current before you used VidSwitch. PLEASE let us know if
- you have any problems and what type of driver you have so that we can update
- VidSwitch as needed.
