In order to run properly, some programs require the computer to be set to 256 colors. To set your system to 256 colors, follow the instructions for your platform:

Windows 3.1/3.11
Windows 95

Please note that some older video cards are incompatible with 256 colors, making it impossible to adjust your settings. Please consult your video card manufacturer for additional information.

1. From your Program Manager, double click on the "Main" icon.
2. From Main, go into Windows Setup. The Display line will show the current resolution and color mode to which your computer is set. Before making any changes, please make note of your current setting in case you would like to change the settings back to their original values.
3. To make changes, click on Options and then on Change System Settings. The display line will now allow you to arrow up and down to select a different setting.
4. Select SVGA 640x480x256 and click OK. A message should appear saying: A driver for this display is already on the system.
5. Select Current.
6. Restart Windows.

If the message A driver for this display is already on the system does not appear, the computer will ask for Windows disks in order to install the proper files. Please follow the on-screen directions. If you do not have access to Windows disks or the files are not found after putting in the Windows disks, the computer will not have access to the SVGA 640x480x256 driver that is needed in order to run the program.
