Aldus Persuasion includes a GIF viewer (PLAYER.EXE) that attempts to
detect which video adapter is installed. It then attempts to maximize
the quality its display of a GIF image by fully utilizing the features
of the video adapter it detects. Because it is running in a VDM
(Virtual MS-DOS Machine), it cannot directly detect hardware and
fails.
It has been known to fail on Video Seven VRAM boards. It works on S3
and Mach video adapters. You may be able to get it to work by starting
it from a windowed Command Prompt by starting it with the /V switch to
force it into standard VGA mode.
