--------------------
- Installing the program from CD-ROM

4. Important notes
========================================================

To use Virtual MODELA, it is recommended that you set the monitor to use 32,000 colors or more (High Color).
The program runs regardless of the setting for the number of colors, but if the number of colors is set at fewer than 32,000 the display may be coarse, making it impossible to distinguish detailed areas of shapes. A setting for 32,000 colors or more (High Color) is especially recommended when you're using texture mapping.

========================================================

If you have further questions or problem, please contact to your local vendor or Roland sales center.
