In order to solve the problem you should: - Check whether 3D acceleration is enabled in actual Windows9x configuration - Check whether your 3D acceleration card is installed correctly - Otherwise consult the documentation and software supplied with your card about the correct loading of the drivers, or contact your card manufacturer 4) No music is played in the background. - Check whether your sound card is installed correctly - Check whether the audio-cable from CD-ROM is connected to the soundcard 5) The playing of the movies doesn't work well. - Check whether your cdrom-drive is at least quad-speed - Check whether the cdrom drivers are correctly installed - Check whether the cdrom is configured well: Go into the Settings option on the START menu, select CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM, PERFORMANCE, FILE SYSTEM and then CD-ROM. Please find below a menu where you can enable read-ahead buffering of the CD-ROM (if it's not yet enabled). Select the setting that matches your CD-ROM drive's speed (2X, 4X etc.). You can also change the size of the buffer, usually the bigger this is the better the performance will be. ************************************************************************* This software uses Smacker Video Technology.
