For those 'legacy' games that don't include this function 3Deep's Default System Gamma (located in the 3Deep control panel) will adjust your system to a gamma level that is optimal for most games. ******************************************************* 2.0 FOR BEST RESULTS, YOU MUST READ THIS Let your monitor warm up for at least 30 minutes before beginning the 3Deep Color Wizard. This process allows the colors to stabilize. Run 3Deep at least twice a year for best results. If you have a third-party monitor calibration system installed (e.g., EFIcolor, AGFA FotoTune, or another), use either that system or 3Deep. Do not use both calibration systems. Using both systems will miscalibrate the monitor. Search 3Deep Help for instructions for your application. If your monitor has some type of color adjustment controls, adjust them to your liking first, before running 3Deep. If your monitor has a degauss button press it before running the 3Deep Color Wizard. If you don't have one, then your monitor has an automatic degauss cycle that works when you turn your monitor off and then on again, even if there is no outward indication of it. Some work environments have more than one type of light. A single type of light is required to get accurate results, especially during the last two steps of the 3Deep Color Wizard, in which you adhere the Color Card or Color Key to the screen. At these steps, adjust your room lighting as described in the linked Help topic to get the best results. After completing all of 3Deep's color choices, you can return to normal room lighting. * PLEASE NOTE THAT 3DEEP V3 DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IN 256 COLOR MODE ON WINDOWS NT4 OR 2000 SYSTEMS. PLEASE USE A HIGHER COLOR DEPTH (16BIT OR HIGHER). ****************************************************** 3.0 Disabling the 3Deep logo at system start up. Open the 3Deep Control Panel. Open the About Screen (Click on the 3Deep logo in the Control Panel) Click on the 'Disable logo during start up' button. ****************************************************** 4.0 Uninstalling 3Deep If you ever need to uninstall 3Deep, click the Windows' Start button and choose Settings/Control Panel. When the Control Panel window opens, double-click on Add/Remove Programs. Highlight 3Deep in the list of programs, then click the Add/Remove button. If for some reason you can't run Windows 95/98, uninstall 3Deep by deleting the directory "C:\Program Files\E-Color". (This will not update the Windows registry and is not the recommended way to uninstall, but it could be useful in the event of a software conflict.) ******************************************************* 5.0 Reporting Problems If you experience any problems, please report them to E-Color Customer Support by fax (using the attached form) or via Internet e-mail or America Online.
