Screen Display and Video Drivers

Choosing A Video Mode

When running SmartSketch, you will want to set your video display to a mode that has the most colors and highest resolution possible so that your drawings look their best. In particular SmartSketch's View Smooth command works best if your video card is set to display thousands or millions of colors (16 or 24-bits per pixel) .

Display Problems

If you notice display problems, or have problems with General Protection Faults, you may need to update the video driver for your system. To get the latest drivers, contact the manufacturer of your computer system or display card. As a temporary solution to video driver problems for most video cards, you can use the standard VGA driver that comes with Windows. Also, if you experience problems in one video mode with your video driver, you may be able to use a different video mode successfully.

WINDOWS

SKETCH.INI

SKETCH.CLR

These files are automatically created in your WINDOWS directory whenever you run SmartSketch. Delete the SKETCH.CLR file to reset the list of colors in the color picker to the default set.


Deinstalling the SmartSketch Trial

If you decide not to purchase the complete SmartSketch, you should deinstall the SmartSketch trial version when the trial period expires.

To deinstall SmartSketch, run the REMOVESK.EXE application in the \SKETCH directory. This will remove all of the SmartSketch files from the Windows directory. You will then be instructed to delete the \SKETCH directory and to delete the SmartSketch icons from the Program Manager.

Note that if SmartSketch installed OLE 2.0 and/or VSHARE.386, these files cannot be safely removed because there is no way to tell if another application on you system depends upon them. Leaving them in place should not cause any problems since they are standard Windows files provided by Microsoft.
