- IMPORTANT
- PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING VID GRID
-
- Follow the instructions in the manual for installing Vid Grid. If, during
- the install, Vid Grid detects that your video resolution is not set to
- 640x480 with 256 colors follow the instructions below for Changing Video
- Display Resolution. You may change your video display resolution either
- before or after you install Vid Grid. Also, please read this notice before
- calling technical support. Vid Grid has been thoroughly tested before
- release and will play best with the video display set to 640x480 with 256
- colors. We strongly urge you to switch to this display resolution.

- CHANGING VIDEO DISPLAY RESOLUTION
-
- The following is the standard method for changing Windows video display
- drivers that use "Windows Setup" for their installation. Your video board's
- driver installation may differ. Check the manufacturer's documentation
- for your video board.
-
- 1. You may need your Windows Installation disks or the Drivers disk
- for your video board.
- 2. Find the "Windows Setup" icon in the "Main" program group
- and double-click on that icon.
- 3. From the "Options" menu, select "Change System Settings".
- 4. Scroll down the display menu and select the 640x480x256 driver.
- Click "Install" and if prompted, insert the requested floppy
- disk.
- 5. If 640x480x256 is not listed, select the "Other Display" entry and
- follow the on-screen prompts. After the driver installs,
- restart Windows.
- 6. When Windows restarts you will be able to play Vid Grid.

-
- IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS WHILE PLAYING VID GRID
-
- We have found that the most common cause of problems in Vid Grid is
- out of date video display drivers. You should always try to have the most
- recent version of your display driver installed on your system when playing
- video on your computer. If you have a modem, drivers are available on
- CompuServe, GEnie, Microsoft OnLine and the Microsoft Download Service
- (MSDL). MSDL has no connect time charge and can be reached at 206-936-6735.
