I. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
--------------------------
Pentium 166 or faster processor
Microsoft Windows 95 or 98
DirectX 6.0 or later
32MB RAM
45-150MB of free hard disk space
Quad-speed (4x) CD-ROM drive
DirectX compatible graphics card with 2MB of memory

II. INSTALLATION
--------------------------
When the Splat Ball CD is placed in the user's CD-ROM drive, the
autorun.inf program will be launched. Autoplay will search for
Splat Ball program files. If the Splat Ball files are not found
on the user's machine, the auto-run program will display a prompt
screen.
III. Troubleshooting
-----------------------
Some users may experience trouble adjusting the volume
via the slide bar inside the game. If you are having
this problem you can still adjust your volume via
the volume control on your speakers. Another method
of adjusting the volume is to ALT-TAB out to your
windows desktop and changing the windows system
volume slider manually.
IV. DirectX INFORMATION
--------------------------
-What is DirectX?
Microsoft's DirectX is a set of software components and drivers designed
to create faster hardware performance in Windows based applications. DirectX
is comprised of five components: DirectDraw, DirectInput, DirectPlay, DirectSound,
and Direct3D. Along with these components, DirectX includes a set of compatible
drivers for the computer's video and sound cards along with input devices such
as mice, joysticks and game pads.
When installing Splat Ball, the program checks to see whether DirectX is
installed on your system. If the installer does not detect a standard, current set
of DirectX drivers, it installs new ones. However, a handful of video and sound cards
use DirectX drivers which do not conform to Microsoft standards. These non-standard
drivers cannot be detected during the Splat Ball installation, and new drivers may be
installed in their place. The drivers Splat Ball installs may not work with such
hardware and the end result may be that Splat Ball fails to load. This may be true
even if you have used other DirectX-based products in the past.
-If Splat Ball will not run on you computer due to DirectX problems,
you may be able to correct the problem by following these steps:
1. Update your hardware drivers
IMPORTANT: If you have never updated your drivers before, you may want to
consult your system/hardware vendor and get their recommendation. If you
choose to update the drivers yourself, follow the installation instructions
provided with the driver very carefully.
-Notes on obtaining drivers
Hardware manufacturers post new drivers on their web sites regularly that
have enhanced performance and stability. Please check with your hardware
manufacturer for an update as some difficulties may be related to drivers.
2 Reinstall DirectX
-Manually Installing DirectX
1. Close all applications and save your data.
2. Click on 'Start' and select 'Run'
3. In the 'Run' box type in d:\directx\dxsetup
(Note: Substitute d:\ for the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.)
4. Select 'OK', this will begin the DirectX install.
-If you need to restore your display or audio drivers after installing DirectX:
1. Close all applications and save your data.
2. Bring up the control panel and click the Start button. Then click Settings. Then
click Control Panel.
3. Bring up the DirectX Setup applet. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Click
DirectX Drivers.
Click the Add/Remove button.
4. Click the "Restore Audio drivers" button if you want to restore your audio drivers,
or click the "Restore Display drivers" button if you want to restore your display drivers.
You can only restore one driver at a time, not both.
5. Press "OK" to restart your computer.
Note: If DirectX did not install new display or audio drivers (or if you have already restored
them), then pressing the "Restore Audio drivers" or "Restore Display drivers" button will just
result in a dialogue that says "DirectX setup has completed successfully." You can then press
the other button, or exit.
