- BIOSPHERE HINTS AND TIPS
-
- VIDEO
-
- If your video does not run, make sure that you have Video for Windows runtime Version 1.1 (or
- better) installed. If not, a copy is included on this disc. Run "E:\vidwin11\setup" (where E is your
- CD-ROM drive, from Program Manager, to install the necessary run-time files.
-
- One or two of the animations, and the opening video sequence in particular, only really work well
- from double speed CD-ROM drives that are correctly set up. If you are experiencing problems,
- check the MSCDEX installation parameters (set up in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT)
- against those recommended by your drive manufacturer.
-
- COLOUR DISPLAY ISSUES
-
- It is best to run at a screen resolution of 640x480, so that BIOSPHERE fills the screen.
-
- You will only get the best colours from the images in BIOSPHERE if you are running Windows in
- 256 (or more) colours. The individual images are all 256 colou images. Users of BIOSPHERE with
- computers capable of displaying 32,000 colours may wish to select an appropriate driver from
- their Windows Setup BIOSPHERE may run more slowly, though!
-
- DISK STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
-
- BIOSPHERE install the absolute minimum number of files to the user's hard disk. This is at the
- expense of performance, but is believed that most users would rather have the hard disk space
- than the speed improvement. Apart from the necessary DLLs, BIOSPHERE only installs a single
- icon file, of 766 bytes.
