Installation Support

When the CDROM is playing everything runs but the Video is distorted.

Distorted video is may be a result of not having the display monitor setup properly.  To setup the monitor properly follow the instructions below:

  • Place the cursor over the desktop and right click the mouse button and select 'Properties' to bring up the display control panel.
  • Click the 'Settings' tab
  • Click 'Advanced Properties'
  • Click the 'Monitor' tab
  • Click 'Change' and then select your monitor from the displayed list.
  • If your monitor is not present in this list you will need the diskette that came with your monitor, or you will need to visit the manufactures website to download the device driver for your monitor.

If your Monitor settings are correct, then your other option is to ensure you are using the latest drivers for your video card.  To obtain the latest drivers for your video card you will have to go to the manufacturers website for that card to download them.  Installation instructions for these drivers will be provided by the video card manufacturer.
