- When you start Virtual Pool for the first time, the game will be in low
- resolution to insure its compatibility with all VGA video cards. To
- switch to high resolution mode, bring up the Main Menu by pressing the
- Escape key or by clicking the right mouse button. From this menu, select
- the option VIDEO SETUP. A window will open, displaying the installed
- video drivers. Select the proper driver for your video card from the list.
- These drivers are based on the type of chip used in various video cards.
- There are currently many different manufacturers of video cards,
- and each manufacturer may use different chips in different models, or
- in different versions of the same card. To determine the chip set of your
- particular video card, refer to your video card documentation, inspect the
- actual video card for the chip type, or contact the manufacturer.
-
- If you make a mistake and select the wrong card, don't worry. The program
- should display an error message and allow you to return to the standard,
- low resolution mode. If your computer should hang, simply reboot, and
- when re-starting the game, press ESCape when given the option to bypass
- the currently selected Video Driver. The game will then start in low-res
- mode, and you can try another video selection.
-
- Virtual Pool uses specific Video Drivers to insure the fastest possible
- game play. As these drivers are constantly being written and updated,
- there may not yet be one available for your particular Video Card. In
- this case you may try the "Universal" driver by selecting the 640x480
- VESA 1.2 BIOS EXTENSION. Note that the successful use of this driver
- is dependent on several factors and may not be compatible with your
- particular system or configuration.
-
- If none of the included drivers work for your video card, don't worry.
- Virtual Pool plays perfectly accurate in normal resolution mode.
