[C] Problem Resolutions
-------------------------------------------------------------

Problem:  The demonstration hangs or the colors on screen
          are not correct.

Solution: The 3D Studio MAX demo requires video and audio
          drivers that fully support Windows 3.x, Windows 95,
          and Windows NT standards. We recommend installing
          the latest drivers available for your video and
          audio card. If you experience problems, try running
          the demonstration in 800 X 600 X 256 colors. 

          Please note that the demonstration requires a sound
          card to operate properly.


Problem:  The demonstration runs very slowly.

Solution: For optimal performance make sure your video display
          is set for 800 X 600 X 256 colors. On slower machines
          the demo will not run as smoothly in higher color
          settings. Also, make sure to close all other
          applications before running the demo.


Problem:  The AVIs (animations) play slowly or skip.

Solution: This is most likely a performance issue.

          1) If you are using Windows 3.x make sure you have a 
             dedicated, contiguous Windows swap file of at least 
             10 megabytes.

          2) Change your display adapter to 256 colors.

          3) Free up available memory in Windows by closing all 
             other applications before running the demo.

          4) If you are running Windows 3.x, try caching your CD.

          5) If none of the above suggestions seem to help, try 
             running the AVIs by clicking on them directly from 
             File Manager or Explorer and playing them with Media Player.
