SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to start the Cinemania Demo, the following error message appears:

  Display Problems - This program cannot continue. Your display driver does not
  properly support the following functions or capabilities: The FloodFill()
  function. One solution to this problem may be to use a display card or driver
  which offers more complete graphics support. Contact the manufacturer of your
  display card.

RESOLUTION
==========

This occurs if you are using an Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 S3 card with an Orchid
video driver for Windows 3.x. This message does not occur in Windows 95 using
the protected-mode drivers supplied with Windows 95. The driver in Windows 95 is
the Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 Plus (S3) version 4.0.

To avoid this problem, use one of the video drivers listed below:

- The Windows VGA driver, Vga.drv.

  -or-

- The newest compatible Orchid drivers (dated 6/15/93 or later).

For more information on Orchid cards and drivers, contact Orchid Technology at
(510) 683-0323.

For information on how to change to the VGA driver in Windows, please consult
your printed Windows documentation or online Help.
