Paragon 3.6 Release Notice for

Increase of Minimum Screen Resolution

In the latest enhancement release of Paragon™ 3.x Online, Fidelity MLS Systems and Solutions is announcing that the new minimum screen resolution to run Paragon 3 will be set to 1024x768. This new screen resolution will expand the possibilities for new and improved features in Paragon. The space limitations introduced by the 800x600 resolution will no longer be an issue. The extra space will now be utilized by future enhancements and User Interface (UI) improvements.

This document will outline why Fidelity moved to this new minimum resolution for Paragon version 3.x and the benefits associated with this change. It will also provide instructions on how to modify your screen resolution to meet the minimum 1024x768 resolution requirement.

New Minimum Resolution

| |A Brief History |

| |Screen resolution refers to just how many pixels are displayed onto your screen all at once. Put simply, a pixel is a little colored|

| |dot of light, many of which go together to make up what you see on your computer monitor. Whether you are aware of it or not, |

| |Windows, in most cases, will allow you to change your screen resolution, and because of changing internet standards, this is |

| |becoming a common occurrence. |

| |Paragon’s Minimum Resolution |

| |In the past, the Paragon minimum screen resolution was set to 800 x600. Which means your screen was displaying 800 pixels in width |

| |and 600 in height. However, as technology continues to improve and demand for UI enhancements increase, Fidelity was forced to |

| |increase the minimum resolution to1024x768. This new standard will lead to exciting new enhancements. Additional screen space has |

| |already led to some changes in the 3.6 release of Paragon. For example, the homepage was recently modified to include new and |

| |improved modules. A new seven day calendar view is now available to an MLS to view all activities and tasks scheduled for any given |

| |week. New menu buttons have also been added. These menu buttons will provide better organization and increased space for additional|

| |modules. This is just the beginning of some of the changes that will be forthcoming to Paragon. |

| |While these changes are leading to some exciting new possibilities, Fidelity understands that there is still a percentage of end |

| |users that use the 800x600 resolution. To compensate for this resolution change Fidelity will strive to make sure that all modules |

| |utilize appropriate window and font sizes. For example, the font size in the Market Monitor, located on the Paragon homepage, was |

| |recently increased for improved readability. Other changes will be researched to minimize the affects of switching to a higher |

| |resolution. |

| |The resolution changes will not be apparent until the release of Paragon 3.6 (December 2005). Once Paragon 3.6 is released, any user|

| |running a resolution of 800x600 will be required to change to the 1024x768 screen resolution. By not updating to the new minimum |

| |screen resolution, some menu items will be cut off and modules will overlap making it impossible to utilize the Paragon system |

| |affectively. To change your resolution settings follow the instructions provided below: |

How to Change Your Screen Resolution

Computer monitors are able to display variable sizes of screen resolutions. The higher the resolution, the more workspace your computer can display. All the parts of your screen are scaled back, so that the words and images are smaller, but you can see more at the same time.

To change resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768:

1. Click on Start

2. Find the Control Panel. If you are running Windows 98 or 2000, it is found in Settings.

| In the Control Panel click Display. |[pic] |

3. This will bring up the Display Properties window.

7. Close the Display Properties Window.

Note: You may receive a message asking you if you would like to keep these changes. Click on the Yes button to retain this resolution. Also some computer settings will require you to restart your computer. Go ahead and restart your computer if this restart message is displayed.
