SYMPTOMS
The text in Cinemania 97 appears corrupt or garbled on an IBM Thinkpad. This occurs if you are using a Cyber9320 display driver.

You may also experience this behavior in other programs after you exit Cinemania.

NOTE: Rebooting the computer resolves the problem until Cinemania is launched again.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use a different display driver.

The Trident Super VGA display driver is compatible and resolves the problem. To change the display driver, do the following:  Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Display. Click the Settings tab. Click Change Display Type. Next to the Adapter Type, click Change. Make sure Show Compatible Devices is selected. From the list, select:

Trident Super VGA

If the Trident Super VGA display driver is not listed under Compatible Devices, do the following: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> Click Show All Devices.</li> From the Manufacturers list, select:

Trident Microsystems

</li> From the Models list, select:

Trident Super VGA

</li></ol> </li> Click OK, then Close, then click Close again.</li> When you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.</li></ol>

Cinemania should run normally.
