I get an error message that the Screen Resolution is not high enough.

The Exsys Corvid Editor requires a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher because it has large windows with many options and controls. If you use "Large Fonts" you will probably need to go to even higher resolution to get all information on the screen.

To increase your screen resolution: (Note: If your version of MS Windows does not have these exact options, click on the "Help" option from the start menu and search for "Screen Resolution". That should display the steps for your version of MS Windows.)

1. Click on the 'Start' button in the most bottom left corner of your monitor
2. Select 'Control Panel' (or 'Settings' and 'Control Panel')
3. Select 'Appearance and Themes'(or 'Display')
4. Click on the link 'Change the screen resolution' (or 'Settings' tab)
5. Select the 'Settings' tab
6. In the box labeled 'Screen resolution' (or 'Desktop area'), slide the slider control towards 'More'
7. If it displays correctly, accept the change, or else let it automatically revert back to the original resolution.
   

Once the screen resolution is 1024 x 768 or higher, click the Apply or OK button and it will automatically perform a test. If the test works, i.e. it does not look like a scrambled cable channel, then accept the new screen resolution. You may have to re-boot, especially if you change the text size. If you change the text size to Large Font, 1024x768 will not be big enough so either use Small Font or select the next higher resolution. If there is limited memory, a higher resolution may limit the number of colors you can display.
