Q:How can I tell which version LightFrame™ my monitor can support?

A:To check which version of LightFrame™ is supported by your monitor check the LightFrame logo which you will find on the top, right-hand corner of the monitor. If this logo has a small 3 in it, your monitor is ready for LightFrame™ 3. Otherwise you should use the LightFrame™ 1 or 2 software.

Q: How many windows can I enhance at the same time?

A:In LightFrame™ 3 it is possible to enhance up to 8 windows at the same time. It is however important to

understand that when other windows, toolbars or menus overlap the enhanced windows, the maximum number of enhanced windows can be less.
