WINDOWS 3.1 and 3.11 VIDEO DRIVERS:

Some Video Drivers may cause problems when running the
portions of the Stay Tooned! Demo.  If you experience 
any unusual screen activity, switch to the Super VGA (SVGA) mode.  

Included on your CD ROM are Updated SVGA Video Driver Files 
which may be helpful to you when changing your Video Driver Mode.  
Below are some detailed instructions on how to install a Video 
Driver chosen from the Video Driver Files.

To Change Your Video Mode:
1. From the Program Manager, double-click the Windows Setup Icon 
   in the Main Group
2. From the Options menu on the Windows Setup box, select Change 
   System Settings.	                 
3. Write down the driver name displayed in the box in case you 
   wish to change it back later.
4. Click the arrow to the far right of the word "DISPLAY". You 
   will see a list of Video Drivers.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the list until you see the words 
   "OTHER DISPLAY".
6. In the dialog box type the following "D:\SVGA" 
   (if your CD ROM drive is other than "D" type the appropriate 
   drive letter instead.)
7. After the driver list appears, double click on the "SUPER VGA 
   (640x480 256 color)" entry.
8.  Re-start Windows.

To return to your previous driver, repeat the above steps and at 
step #5 scroll through the list until you find the name and the 
driver you previously wrote down instead of choosing "OTHER 
DISPLAY."  After selecting your driver name press enter and 
follow the on-screen instructions.

If you have any of the following video cards in your PC, contact 
your video manufacturer and ask how to get the video card to use 
a standard Windows driver (e.g., SVGA).

	ATI					#9
	AST					STB or SBT PPG
	Diamond*				Dell
	Any driver using the word "MACH"

*Diamond has a BBS at (408) 325-7175;  you can download updated 
drivers including 968133.exe which may cure all ills.

If you don't know what brand video driver you have, exit Windows 
and at C:\>, type MSD.  Under 'Video' section, there may be a 
listing of the manufacturer of the video card or video chip 
installed on your computer.
 
WARNING:  Please note the brand of video driver that you are 
using. You may need to switch between alternate drivers.  Video 
drivers are written for the brand of video card you are currently
using, and we advise that you do not change brands of video 
drivers without first consulting the maker of your video card.

For more information about video drivers, please consult your 
Windows documentation.

OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE:

On some PC configurations, the speed of the Demo may appear 
slow. To optimize the performance of your PC and increase the 
speed at which these demos run, try these helpful tips.

1.  Turn OFF any virus scanning programs and screen savers that 
    might be running.

2.  Turn OFF ALL applications except for the 'Program Manager' 
    (if you are running an alternate desktop, leave only your 
    desktop program running).

3.  Set screen resolution to 640x480 [Refer to your Windows guide 
    on Running the Setup Program or Setting Up Windows]

4.  Set the number of colors to be displayed to 256 (some color 
    cards may require colors to be set at 65,536; 65,535; 64K; or 
    65K, depending on vendor) [Refer to the section above title
    CHANGING YOUR COLOR DEPTH].

5.  If you are running Windows 3.1, be sure you have created a    
 PERMANENT swap file of at least 8 MB (8,192K) in your virtual    
 memory settings. From your program manager, choose control        
 panel. From control panel, choose 386 enhanced mode. Change         
  your virtual memory to 8,192K, permanent.  
 
If the suggestions above still do not result in satisfactory 
performance, you may have a fragmented disk. Use your Windows 95
Disk Defragmenter to optimize your hard drive.
