   would normally.

Q. The mouse doesn't move smoothly in the 256 color SVGA mode.
A. Some mouse drivers cannot properly handle the mouse in SVGA mode. Try
   and get an updated mouse driver or check to see if you can configure
   your mouse driver with different settings.

Q. When I select the mode option my computer hangs or the screen looks
   funny.
A. MP cannot support the 256 color SVGA mode on your display card. If
   you have an VESA TSR for your display card please use it. MP might
   be able to access this mode using the VESA TSR.

Q. I have VGA but can't access the 256 color mode.
A. The 256 color mode requires Super VGA and only works with the more
   popular chipsets. If you have a VESA driver for your SVGA card use it.

      Although every effort has been made to insure that MagniPaint will
      function correctly on a wide variety of PC Compatibles many factors
      stand in the way.

      1) Mouse drivers - please use an updated mouse driver. If your
         mouse is MicroSoft compatible you can probably use the latest
         MicroSoft mouse drivers. If all fails try running MagniPaint with
         the /ME switch, this will emulate mouse drawing that is normally
         done by the mouse driver. If MagniPaint can't detect that you have a
         mouse connected to your system try using the /NM switch.

              MP /ME - emulate mouse pointer
              MP /NM - skip mouse detection
              MP /ME /NM

      2) SVGA cards - if your having problems with MagniPaint, you're probably
         having problems with other programs as well. Your SVGA card is not
         as compatible as can be. Try executing MagniPaint using the /NV
         switch. Also try and locate a VESA driver for your SVGA card if
         possible.

              MP /NV - skip video check.

      3) OS2/WINDOWS - MagniPaint should executed from DOS. There are too many
         factors that can cause MagniPaint not to function under these
         operating systems. If you can't see the mouse pointer try executing
         MagniPaint with the /ME switch.

              MP /ME - emulate mouse pointer
