SUMMARY
To use the high-resolution golf courses when you play Microsoft Golf, you must install a display adapter that supports 16-bit color (High Color) in your computer.



MORE INFORMATION
When you start Golf, the program automatically attempts to switch your computer's display settings to 800 x 600 screen resolution and 16-bit High Color. If your display adapter cannot dynamically switch display settings, you may experience problems such as a black screen.

To prevent these problems, configure your display settings to match those used by Golf before you start Golf. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Display.
 * 3) Click the Settings tab.
 * 4) Move the Display Area slider to the 800 x 600 position.
 * 5) In the Color Palette box, click High Color (16-bit).
 * 6) Click OK. If you are prompted to restart the computer, do so.

If High Color (16-bit) is not an available selection in the Color Palette box, contact your hardware manufacturer to inquire if an updated video driver that supports a 16-bit color palette is available for your video adapter.
