TROUBLE-SHOOTING:
======================

1.  Problem due to wrong resolution setting in the GIF viewer
Symptoms:  Picture too big to fit in one screen.
           Picture is too small
Correction:  Change resolution of your GIF viewer:
   GIFDESK: hit "+" or "-" key or Spacebar with GIFDESK
   PICEM:   change the /v option in PICEM; set /v:x 
   VPIC:    hit "F5" or "F6" 
            hit "F7" to set video mode into "AUTO" adjustment

2.  Problem due to insufficient video memory and incorrect video card driver
Symptoms:  There's no picture on screen, but the hard disk sounds like
           it is retrieving something.
           Strange colors in pictures 
Correction:  If you have another VGA card, try it to see if problem persists.
Find a VGA card with more memory. Choose a different video driver to see
if problem goes away.

3.  Problem:  I have SVGA card w/1Mb and monitor and still cannot see the
SVGA picture.
Correction:  Adjust the video setting in the GIF viewers.  Some SVGA card
does not have VESA driver built-in; try running VESA.COM (in VPIC subdir)
before running VPIC

4.  Problem due to the capability of your VGA monitor
Symptoms: Picture out of sync, see only strips on screen
          No picture, monitor makes sharp noises
Correction:  Buy a SVGA monitor! 
             Use different GIF viewers to see if it works with your
             monitor and VGA card combination.
             

NOTES ON SVGA GIF IMAGES VIEWING

If your VGA has less than 1Mb memory, you may only see part of the 
picture.  The PICEM GIF viewer has been set to 640x480x256 color
resolution (/v:r) for most video card will be able to support this
resolution.  Part of the picture may be missing if the GIF
file size is larger than 200k.  Simply use the PAGE UP/ PAGE DOWN
keys to see move the picture, or you may change the "V" parameter
to "X" for 1024x768 resolution. You will see nothing if your video 
card has only 512k memory.  Try using VPIC, SVGA, or GIFDESK to 
see if you can see the whole image.

A copy of GIFDESK is put in every subdirectory.  Simply type
GO2 will run a slide show automatically.  You can adjust the
number of photos on one screen by keying "+" and "-" keys.
