   A Note about Video and Sound Card Drivers on 
   Windows:
   It is important to make sure that your video and 
    sound card software is updated to the latest 
    version.  Manufacturers regularly update their 
    software to correct known problems.
   Especially if your system is over a year old, 
   check with the manufacturer for software updates.
   This will enhance the operation of your system 
   and minimize the potential for incompatibilities 
   with the Holt Researcher CD-ROM and other software.
