What should I do if I do not see proper images or videos?

❑

Be sure to select

True Color (32 bit)

for the display colors before using video/image software or starting DVD playback.

Selecting any other option may prevent such software from displaying images successfully. To change the display colors,
follow these steps:

1

Right-click on the desktop and select

Screen resolution

.

2

Click

Advanced settings

.

3

Click the

Monitor

tab.

4

Select

True Color (32 bit)

under

Colors

.

❑

Do not change the display resolution or colors while using video/image software or playing DVDs, as it may cause
unsuccessful playback/display or unstable system operations.
Additionally, it is recommended you disable your screen saver before starting DVD playback. If the screen saver is
enabled, it may be activated during DVD playback and prevent the playback from running successfully. Some screen
savers have been found to even change the display resolution and colors.
