TROUBLESHOOTING
Most video display problems can be corrected by installing the
latest reference drivers for your particular video card. Please
consult your video card documentation for details on how to
get the latest drivers for your card.
If you are using a custom cursor, especially with shadow,
it may cause video corruption. We strongly recommend disabling
custom cursors while playing Dino Island

aspect ratio (e.g., 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, or 1280x1024)
in HighColor or TrueColor mode. Remember: the higher the
resolution, the slower the game will be, especially if your
card has only 4MB or 8MB of video ram.
