All distribution files will be copied to the directory of your choice (.VBX and .DLL files will be placed in your Windows/System directory). **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. DISTRIBUTION See VENDOR.DOC SHAREWARE REGISTRATION VidSwitch is Shareware.
