Installation & Setup User Guide
Lite PCI and the FlashPoint 3Dx Pro PCI both have 8 MB; older boards may
have between 1 MB and 8 MB.
1. Start the Windows Control Panel. Double-click on the Display program icon.
The Display Properties folder will appear. You may also select Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Display.
2. Click on the Settings tab to switch to the Settings form.
3. Take note of the following before proceeding:
• FlashPoint 3D/3Dx Lite supports video capture in all VGA models with
≥ 256 colors, except for the following:
– 16.7 million color models with desktops that are > 1152 x 864
pixels
– 65536 color models with desktops that are > 1152 x 864 pixels
– 256 color models with desktops that are < 800 x 600 pixels or 1152
x 864 pixels
• Savage 3D VGA display driver does not allow you to select a 16-color
VGA mode.
• The quality of live video is poor when the VGA mode is 256 colors
(because the 16.7 million color video frames are displayed on the screen
via ordered dithering) so be sure to always use either 65536 color or
16.7 million color VGA modes.
• A desktop area of at least 800 x 600 pixels is required.
• Captured video quality is the same for all VGA modes (16.7 million
colors).
4. Change the “Screen Area” setting to 800 x 600.
5. Change the “Colors” setting to True Color (32-bit).
6. Select “Small Fonts” in the Font Size field. B.A.S.I.S. does not support
large fonts. B.A.S.I.S. dialog text fields and controls do not line up correctly
when “Large Fonts” is selected
7. Click [Close] or [OK].
8. If you made any changes to the form:
• You may be prompted to restart your computer. If so, select [Yes]
Windows will start up with the newly selected Windows color palette,
desktop area and refresh frequency.
• If you are not prompted to restart your computer, Windows will adjust
the display to have the newly selected Windows color palette, desktop
area and refresh frequency. (You may be asked if the new settings look
okay and if you want to keep the new settings.)
9. You will now need to reboot the machine to complete the driver installation.
