2. The resolution selected is too high for your monitor.

Symptom 6

The Fahrenheit ProVideo 64 works well in an-
other brand computer, but not at all in mine.

Check

1. Take a look at the check points for symptom 1, steps

1 through 4. It is a pretty good guess that the problem
is not the Fahrenheit ProVideo 64 if it is working
properly in another system.

Symptom 7

The Orchid icon does not appear in the Windows
Control Panel.

Check

1. Check to make sure that you installed the Fahrenheit

ProVideo 64 Windows drivers into the correct direc-
tory.

2. Memory managers can prevent icons from appearing.

Refer to your memory manager documentation for
details on using a memory exclusion statement.

Symptom 8

MPEG appears slow or jerky and there is no audio
sync.
