- ABE'S EXODDUS REQUIRES 16-BIT HI-COLOR MODE
-
- If your SVGA display card doesn't support 16-bit High Color
- mode, then Abe's Exoddus will not run.
-
- In addition, some older display cards that do support High Color
- mode don't switch to it properly under Direct X. Before you
- call technical support, try this :
- Select Start->Settings->Control Panel, then Double click on
- Display to bring up the Display Properties dialog box. Choose
- the Settings tab, and select "High Color (16 bit)", then click
- on OK. You will be prompted to restart your computer, and
- after it restarts, try running the game again. You may notice
- your wallpaper and icons look a lot better now, too!
-

-
- USING THE ALTERNATE DISPLAY MODES
-
- If the game runs too slowly on your machine, or if the movies
- are jerky, you may want to try the alternate display modes.
- You must create a shortcut to run the AbeWin.exe program
- with the appropriate command line option. First, locate
- the file AbeWin.exe (in the directory you installed to,
- probably C:\Program Files\Abe's Exoddus), and right click
- on the file. Select "Create Shortcut", then find the
- Shortcut file created (called "Shortcut to Abe's Exoddus").
- Right click on this, then select Properties. Choose the
- Shortcut tab, and edit the "Target" field, adding one of
- the following command line parameters to the end of the
- line (seperated from Exoddus.exe by a space) :
-
- -interline Every other line is blacked out.
- -vstretch Lines are doubled (this may not work
- on some display cards, if it doesn't,
- use INTRLINE).
-
- Select OK, then click on this Shortcut to run Abe. You
- might want to rename the shortcut something more
- appropriate.
