        1.  SOLD OUT SOFTWARE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Loading computer games can sometimes be a daunting task.  We 
here at Sold Out Software try to make the installation of 
our games as quick, simple and effortless as possible. To aid 
yourself in the installation of this piece of software it 
is helpful that you have at hand certain bits of information 
regarding your system set-up.

1. The drive letters associated with your machine: 

All computers have letters assigned to different drives. By 
default your 'floppy' drive will have the letter A:\ assigned 
to it , your hard drive will be C:\ and your CD-ROM will be 
lettered D:\. If, let's say, you have more than one hard 
Drive then it is most likely that the second hard drive 
would be D:\ and your CD-ROM would have E:\ assigned to it.

To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you familiarise 
yourself with the letters assigned to your computer's drives 
before trying to install your game. To do this, click on the 
'My Computer' icon on your Windows desktop with your right 
mouse button and then select 'Explore' with the left mouse 
button. The left-hand window will contain all your drives 
and applicable letters.

2. When we specify 'default directory' it means the 
directory and drive that the game installation has been 
pre-set to install to. You may change the installation 
directory if, let's say, all games are installed to a 
directory called 'Games' on your system.

If the error "The MSVBVM50.DLL file is linked to missing 
export OLEAUT32.DLL:421." occurs while installing the game.

The error occurs because during the setup process, the 
MSVBVM50.DLL file requires a version of OLEAUT32.DLL that 
is newer than what comes with the original version of 
Windows 95. Therefore you will need to replace this file 
with the copy supplied on the your CD-ROM. 
To replace the file simply double click on AXDIST.EXE file 
which can be found in \DATA.NOW\EXTRAS directory on your 
CD-ROM. 
You will also have to restart your computer for the changes 
to take effect. 

When done, launch SETUP.NOW again and try to reinstall.
