================================================ Subject: Re: NCR: Yet another computer question... From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Mon 24 Dec 2001 08:49:54 -0500 ================================================ Gina, I usually tell people that run into the video problem. To use the SVGA (Standard or generic) driver. It seems to work for most video cards. Then you should be able to change the resolution to 1024 x 820 (?) and the more color modes.(At least 256 colors) About the lack of memory. It might be really cheap to buy more memory for your computer. But since it must only have 8 megs at present. It seems like it is an older computer. It may not be worth the hassle to upgrade the memory. Since Juno doesn't allow attachments (free version). It might be your best option.
