SUMMARY

This article discusses troubleshooting video problems you may encounter when running Golf 3.0.

DISPLAYING 256 COLORS

Your computer must display 256 colors to run Golf 3.0.

If you don't have the necessary 256-color driver, or if you aren't sure that your video card supports 256 colors, contact your video card manufacturer.

To display 256 colors in Windows 95/98:

  1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Double-click the Display icon.
  3. Click the Settings tab.
  4. In the Color Palette or Color drop-down list, click 256 Color.
  5. Click OK.

RESOLVING OTHER VIDEO DRIVER CONFLICTS

If you install different video drivers after installing Golf 3.0, it may change the performance of the game.

If you experience distorted colors, ghosting or other irregular video problems you should consult the Display.txt or Readme.txt file packaged with Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 3.51/4.0 for hardware specific display problems. Most video issues can be resolved by updating the operating system's display drivers. Consult your OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for a possible display driver upgrade.

Some systems may have display problems when using incorrect or generic Windows video drivers. Be sure you have installed the correct video driver for your video card.

Contact your video-card manufacturer for verification of the latest video driver, and for information about obtaining the latest driver.
