Hi (e-mail address removed),
Yes. It would certainly be helpful to have their input on this.

| Hi Jimmy, I tried your two suggestions but no luck. I just looked on
| the Jardinains page again and found this:
| Problems running the game:
| Your display can't handle 640x480. This is a rare case, since virtually
| all computer displays can run at 640x480, but there are a few LCD
| screens out there that don't handle this resolution. Try setting your
| display to 640x480 using the "Display" control panel; if you can't set
| your screen to that resolution manually, then Jardinains! won't be able
| to do it, either. Contact your computer maker's tech support line to
| get help resolving this issue.
| I guess I should be emailing Viewsonic?
|
| Thanks again,
|

|| Here's a couple of suggestions:
||
|| 1. Try launching the game normally (without using the Compatibility shortcut).
|| 2. Try changing your desktop to 800x600 and then launching the game normally.
||
|| I hope that helps!

||| Hi, thank you for all your help. I got the patch for Jardinains and
||| set the compatibility mode to 640x480 but no luck. I can see the
||| resolution changing and the screen goes black, but then everything goes
||| slowly back to normal - no game. I just checked in my display
||| properties and my flat panel can't even be changed to that resolution.
||| Viewsonic vp201s. The default is 1600x1200. In display properties the
||| smallest showing is 800x600. Is that the problem do you think? If so
||| I will have to wait and hope that he updates the game.

||||| |||||| Hi Jimmy,
||||||
|||||| No patch for Jardinains. It used to work, so I must have changed
|||||| something when I reformatted a while ago. I have the latest video
|||||| card driver. Perhaps I should be using the older one. Oh well. I
|||||| will keep trying. Once something doesn't work I become obsessed until
|||||| it is fixed. (Even if it isn't important). I usually play Jardinains
|||||| near Xmas as the gnomes look like little Santas to me....
||||||
|||||| Thanks again,
||||||
