The more memory you have the better. You are recommended to have at 256 Mbytes.
The Mouse
To get the best out of AutoTRAX you are strongly advised to purchase a 3-button mouse
with a thumbwheel.
Video Card
AutoTRAX takes full advantage of hardware acceleration of the current range of graphics
card to give you real-time true WSIWG (what you see is what you get) viewing.
It is recommended to use 24bit color and a resolution 0f 1024x768 or 1280x1024. Using a
larger resolution may slow down the speed of the graphics as more pixels need to be
drawn. Using a lower resolution makes it more difficult to manage floating toolbars and
dialog boxes.
Multiple monitors
Multiple Monitors
With the advent of Windows 98 and Windows 2000 you now have the capability of adding
additional monitors to your computer. AutoTRAX can be used with multiple monitors and
the floating toolbars and dialogs can be positioned on these additional monitors. AutoTRAX
remembers their position when it restarts.
All you need is an additional graphics card and monitor. See the Windows documentation of
setting up the additional monitor.
For Windows 2000
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Insert your additional Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) or Accelerated
Graphics Port (AGP) video adapter into an available slot.
3. Plug your additional monitor into the card.
4. Turn on your computer. Windows 2000 will detect the new video adapter and install
the appropriate drivers.
5. Open Display in Control Panel.
6. On the Settings tab, click the monitor icon that represents the monitor you want to
use in addition to your primary monitor.
7. Select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box, and then click
Apply or OK.
8. Selecting the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box allows you to
drag items across your screen onto alternate monitors.
Or, you can resize a window to stretch it across more than one monitor. To use the multiple
monitor support feature, you need a PCI or AGP video adapter for each monitor. If you
have an onboard video adapter (one that is not a plug-in card but is part of the
motherboard) that you want to use as part of a multiple-monitor configuration, it must be set
as VGA.
