Symptoms: There are sudden changes in performance, or messages such as the following appear: ·"Cannot read from drive 'D:'" ·"Error reading from CD-ROM" ·"A serious CD error has occurred" Possible cause: The disc may be damaged or dirty. Solution: Check your disc for fingerprints, scratches, or smudges. To check your disc, hold its shiny side up to a bright light. If you find your disc is dirty, you can clean it with a soft cotton cloth. If necessary, you may also use a damp cloth. If your disc becomes damaged, refer to our replacement policy in the warranty section of the User's Manual. Problem: You are experiencing difficulty installing the program. Possible cause: Other programs may be running while you are attempting to install this product. Solution: First, make sure there are no other programs running. Press Alt+Tab to check for other programs running. If there are other programs running, please quit them before proceeding with installation. Possible cause: Some problems may be specific to the setup screen used for installation. Solution: Try avoiding that aspect of the installation by using your computer's Run command to manually install the product: ·Click on Start. ·Click on Run. ·Type the following command: D:\install\_setup.exe (If your CD ROM drive is other than "D", substitute that letter for "D"). Problem: The video or display of one of our activities does not seem right, or you are getting a message concerning display or video. Possible cause: Your computer has out dated or corrupted video drivers. Solution: Reinstall the video drivers using the discs that came with your computer and/or video card. If you do not possess discs with the video drivers you require, contact your computer or video card manufacturer, as they are most qualified to help you update your video drivers. Possible cause: Your monitor's color depth setting is not set to 256 colors, or your screen's resolution is not set to 640x480 pixels. Solution: Adjust your monitor's display settings. Try the following: ·Click the right mouse button on your Windows desktop screen. ·Select Properties. ·Click on the Settings tab. This will show the current color and screen settings. ·Change your color depth setting to 256 colors, and/or your screen resolution depth to 640x480. Click OK.

Never attempt to change these settings unless you know how to do so. Problem: There is no sound, or there is distorted sound. Possible cause: Your sound card's settings are improperly set. Solution: First, check the following setting. If that fails to help, you will need to contact your sound card manufacturer.

Possible cause: There is no sound card present. Solution: Our programs require a sound card. If you do not currently have one, see your local computer retailer for a compatible sound card. Should you need to contact your sound card manufacturer, the following information will help you get the information you need, as well as supply the information they will need. ·Your sound card IRQ (Interrupt Request) should be set to either 5 or 7. ·Our programs are designed to recognize these settings first. Your sound card manufacturer can help you change your IRQ setting. ·Make sure you are working with the most current sound driver available for your sound card. Your computer or sound card manufacturer can help you update your sound driver. Problem: You are experiencing problems printing. Possible cause: There is not enough virtual memory for the program to print. You may need to allocate more virtual memory. Solution: To allocate more virtual memory to your computer, please do the following: ·In Windows, hard drive space is automatically used by the operating system for virtual memory use. If you run out of virtual memory, free up more hard drive space on your computer. ·For best performance, wait until your system has finished printing before using other parts of the program. Problem: The program is randomly locking up or freezing during play. Possible cause: The drivers may need to be updated, your disc may be dirty, or your computer may not have enough memory. Solution: Try the following: ·Make sure your sound and video drivers are the most current versions available. A lock-up can occur when our program asks your computer to play a sound or display an image that it is not prepared to play or display. ·Make sure the disc is clean and free of scratches. A lock-up can occur when your machine is asked to read a file which it cannot read. *********************************************************************** 3.
