III. NOTES ON COMPATIBILITY
________________________________
FUNCTIONALITY
Planet of the Apes is designed to function with Windows 95/98/2000/
ME-compatible graphics and sound cards. Drivers for these various devices are
provided by Windows itself or the respective card manufacturers and may
occasionally result in compatibility problems beyond our control.
If you experience any problems, it is always recommended that you obtain the
latest drivers for your hardware. Driver updates resolve the overwhelming
majority of compatibility issues. Most hardware vendors make their drivers
available on their web site. If you are unsure of a web site URL for a
particular hardware vendor, you may want to try accessing one of the popular
Windows software update sites such as http://www.windrivers.com. Additionally,
a brief list of the chipset and board manufacturer web sites appears below for
your reference.

IV. KNOWN ISSUES
______________________
WINDOWS 9x:
After quitting the game, starting another application or game may bring up an
Explorer or msgserv error. You may need to reboot your computer to continue.
*This error has to do with the D3D API and is common on D3D games.
We've looked at this and it seems like it is related to D3D code.
DirectX(r) 8 may resolve this issue.
GRAPHICS:
INTRO MOVIES PLAYING AT LOW FRAME RATES: This problem occurs with the following cards:
ATI Radeon DDR. Simply hit the space bar to bypass movies.
Future updates from ATI may resolve this issue.
CORRUPTED FOG: In some rare instances, fog planes become corrupted on
Voodoo 3 cards. Future updates from 3Dfx may resolve this issue.
VOODOO 3: There are occasional loss of textures on transparent characters.
*Future updates from 3Dfx may resolve this issue.
TNT/TNT2/GEFORCE: There are occasional loss of textures on transparent characters.
*Future updates from Nvida may resolve this issue
Obtain these drivers at www.nvidia.com
SOUND:
SOUNDBLASTER AWE 32/64 PCI: There's a rare issue of sound choppiness
and drop out.
*Make sure you have the latest driver from your sound card
manufacturer and check for device conflicts.
SOUNDCARD IS NOT BEING DETECTED OR DISABLED:
Subtitles will not appear in the game if you do not have a soundcard, if your
soundcard is not detected or if you have disabled your soundcard.
DEVICES:
CD-ROM: When playing using Minimum Install, the application constantly seeks
the CD/DVD ROM causing lag.
*Make sure that the Supplemental Cache Size for the CD-ROM is set to Full and that the
Optimize Access Pattern is set to "Quad Speed or Higher". You can access these
features within the Control Panel and double clicking the System icon. This will bring
up the System Properties Screen. At this point select the "Performance" tab and click
on "File System" located near the bottom left hand corner. This will bring up the
"File Systems Properties" menu. Now select the "CD-ROM" tab and this is where the changes
can be made. It's also recommended that a 32X or faster CD/DVD ROM should be used when
playing using a mimimum install.
