I have installed the STEPS Base and a module on my PC, but when I run the module, I get occasional problems with icons and subscripts misplaced, and some text cut off. What is the problem?

^v There are two types of screen driver. There are the ones supplied with Windows which come in a variety of resolutions and are the same on all machines. There are also the ones supplied by specific monitor or video card manufacturers. The STEPS modules have been tested with standard Windows screen drivers (VGA and SVGA) and there have never been any problems with them. However with ‘go faster’ screen drivers supplied with particular machines, there have been occasional problems. The solution is to use the standard Windows screen driver for the resolution required and not a proprietry one. It may be necessary to alter the selected font and/or resolution, depending on graphic card or local configuration. With most modern video cards and associated screen drivers this can be done ‘on the fly’ without restarting the machine.
