- 1)System color requirements
-
- The Microsoft Home CD Sampler is meant to run specifically in
- 256 colors. If you have trouble running the demo, it runs slow,
- or the colors look funny, or you receive error messages relating
- to your video driver, you may want to change your display driver
- settings. To do this go to Program Manager and go into Windows
- Setup in the "main" program group and change the display driver
- to one that uses 256 colors. You may also want to change the
- resolution to 640x480 for better performance.

- (or Windows) you need to set up the card to play under Windows.
- Make sure that the volume for your speakers is set at an audible level.

- may not play the sound in the Microsoft Home CD Sampler correctly.

- Vision card and experience problems, you may need to upgrade your driver.
- Contact Media Vision Technical support to find out how to obtain a
- new driver.
