= SYMPTOMS =

Encarta animations may look broken and distorted if you are using an S3 chip video card in any of the following video modes:

1280 x 1024 16 colors 1024 x 768 16 colors 800 x 600 16 colors 640 x 480 32,000 colors

Different parts of the image may appear to overwrite each other.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Encarta, 1994 edition. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= RESOLUTION =

To avoid this problem, switch to a lower resolution or to 256 colors.
