- 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.
