When you run one of programs listed at the top of this article, you may
experience a general slowdown during video sequences and
transitions.
CAUSE
This occurs if your video display is set to a color depth of more than
256 colors.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, change your display to 256 colors. Use the
appropriate steps below for your version of Windows.
Windows 95/98- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
- Double-click Display, and then click the Settings
tab.
- In the Color Palette or Colors box, click 256
Color, and then click OK.
- Click Yes to restart the computer.
Windows 3.x- Make a copy of the System.ini file, located in your Windows
directory. For more information about how to accomplish this task in
Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or online
help.
- Run Windows Setup, located in the Main group, and make a note
of which video driver appears on the Display line.
- On the Options menu, click Change System Settings.
There should be a few drivers listed whose names are similar to the
one you just made a note of. Select the driver that specifies 256
colors. Click OK.
- Restart Windows.
NOTE: Some display drivers change the resolution and color depth from a separate control panel rather than by the methods described above. If this is the case, see the documentation that should have been included with the video card for instructions on how to perform the actions described above.
