== Troubleshooting notes on Wild Wings
==========================================
1. You must have a DirectX compatible Sound and
Video Card for Wild Wings to operate properly.
DirectX 7 is included on the CD
2. Wild Wings is very graphics intensive so a high performance
video card is recommended. We highly recommend you
purchase a 3D Accelerator card.
3. This product has not been tested with any version
of DirectX greater than version 7. We assume that
the newer versions of DirectX will work but cannot
guarantee 100% compatibility.
4. Wild Wings is also a LARGE game so we recommend a computer
system with at least 32 MB of RAM.
Of course, the more memory the better!
5. If you are experiencing display problem, problems
with the graphics palette, cursor problems or other
performance issues, we strongly recommend that you
run Wild Wings in 640x480 mode.
6. If Wild Wings is running very sluggish it could be
because you don't have enough free space on the hard
drive. Try freeing up some space if you have less than
100 megabytes of free space on your hard drive.
7. If the game fails to run on your system it could be
because you don't have DirectX compatible drivers. Run
the DirectX diagnostic (Dxdiag.exe in your
"C:\Program Files\DirectX\Setup" directory.) And make
sure you have certified drivers.
8. If you still have problems, you can get much information
from several web sites:
