VideoSync: Doesn‘t Run with Some Configurations (5/95)


I am using VideoSync, and followed all the directions. They explain that I needed to put VideoSync and the Monitors control panel at the root level of the System Folder, and put an alias of the Monitors control panel in the Control Panels folder. Then restarted my Macintosh computer.

Configuration:

System 7.1
VideoSync 1.0

Quadra 700
Apple 21-inch
Apple 8.24 GC video card

When I open the Monitors control panel and click on Options, the screen
goes into a severe roll and I have to restart.


This configuration won't work with VideoSync.

VideoSync will only run:

* In 8-bit color (256 colors)
* Only on a 13-inch monitor (640x480)
* Only on the 8*24 NuBus card

VideoSync WON'T RUN with:

* The 24AC Display card
* The 8*24 GC card
* Third-party cards
* Internal Video

You need to use a smaller monitor and a different card to make VideoSync work on the Quadra 700.  If you had access to a Quadra 840AV, you could use VideoSync II which ONLY works on the Internal Video.

Both VideoSync and VideoSync II are available through online services Apple provides software updates on.
