SYMPTOMS
When you quit Lost World: Jurassic Park Chaos Island, the Windows desktop may flicker and items on the desktop may appear larger than they appeared before you started the game.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you are using a video display resolution of 800 x 600 or greater. When you start Lost World: Jurassic Park Chaos Island, the video display resolution is changed to 640 x 480. On some computers, when you quit the game, the resolution cannot be changed from 640 x 480 back to the original resolution setting.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:

Method 1
Manually restore the original resolution setting. To do so, use the following steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Display.
 * 3) On the Settings tab, move the Desktop Area or Screen Area slider to the right until the original resolution is shown beneath the slider (such as 800 x 600 pixels).
 * 4) Click OK, and then click OK again.
 * 5) When Windows has adjusted your display resolution, close Control Panel.

Method 2
Change the display resolution in Windows to 640 x 480. This prevents Lost World: Jurassic Park Chaos Island from having to change the resolution when the game starts. To do so, use the following steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Display.
 * 3) On the Settings tab, move the Desktop Area or Screen Area slider all the way to the left (the Less setting).
 * 4) Click OK, and then click OK again.
 * 5) When Windows has adjusted your display resolution, close Control Panel.
