The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Liquid Motion for Windows 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you view Liquid Motion animations with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, text objects may overlap or appear out of place.

= CAUSE =

If your Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT display settings are set to a font size of “Large Fonts,” then text objects in Liquid Motion animations may appear out of place or overlapping. This symptom is not unique to Liquid Motion animations, and it is caused by a problem between the DirectDraw interface and Windows.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this issue, change the font size of the display settings to “Small Fonts.”

Change Font Size in Windows95/98 and Windows NT
To change the font size in Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT, follow these steps:


 * 1) Right-click the Windows Desktop, and click Properties from the menu.
 * 2) Click the Settings tab in the Display Properties dialog box.
 * 3) From the Settings tab, click to select “Small Fonts” from the Font Size list.
 * 4) Click OK, and restart the computer.

After your computer has restarted, the Liquid Motion animation will appear correctly when you view it in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
