	    3D Blaster Common Questions and Answers
	    =======================================

This  file  contains  a  list  of some common  problems  faced	and  the
solutions  to those problems.  Please read the sections below  when  you
encounter a problem, and call our Technical Support when you cannot find
an answer in this file.

Problem:
	Quicktime Movie Player crashes at times.

Cause:
	The Quicktime Movie Player detects hardware every time it is
	started from Windows to use the maximum capabilities of the
	hardware.  This is recorded in the QTW.INI file in the Windows
	directory.  Unfortunately, at this time the detection process is
	not detecting the 3D Blaster hardware, thus giving rise to the
	problems.

Solution:
	1)  Edit the QTW.INI file.
	2)  In the Video section (add one if it does not exist) add the
	    following line:

		[Video]
		optimize=driver

	3)  Save the QTW.INI file.

	This forces Quicktime to use the installed Windows display
	driver and thus use the 3D Blaster drivers.

	However, if Quicktime crashes in this manner (without the above
	line added), especially in 1024x768, the only way to resolve this is
	to switch resolutions (down to 640x480 or 800x600), start the
	Quicktime Movie Player and change back to 1024x768.

	Note: Viewing the Quicktime readme file (uses readme.exe which
	comes with Quick Time) WILL cause this to happen every time even
	with the modified INI file.  To recover, use the method
	described in the paragraph above.

	This problem is not strictly related to the 3D Blaster and does
	happen with many other video cards.
