SYMPTOMS
The Barney software does not appear on your computer screen correctly.
CAUSE
Your computer's screen resolution is set to something other than 800x600
and/or you are not using 256 colors or higher.
RESOLUTION
To run the Barney software, your computer's screen resolution must be set
to 800 x 600, using 256 colors or higher. For most video cards, the Barney
software will automatically switch your computer to the correct screen
resolution. However, for some computers and video cards, you may need to
change this setting yourself.
To change your screen resolution and/or colors, do the following:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- In Control Panel, double-click Display.
- Under Desktop, drag the slider until the setting reads 800 by 600 pixels.
- Under Color Palette, make sure the setting for 256 Color is selected.
NOTE: If you are unable to change your settings manually, then your video
card may not have enough video RAM to support the Barney software title.
Make sure you have the latest video drivers for your video card. You can
download the latest drivers from your video card manufacturer's Web site or
bulletin board service (BBS).
