2.0 Troubleshooting
===================
P = Problem
S = Solution(s)
2.1 Graphic related
-------------------
P: An error message is shown when running the game
"A device attached to the system is not functioning."
S: This means you are trying to run the game using Direct3D,
but you haven't installed DirectX 7.0a or later. You can
do this from the Sno-Cross Extreme CD, either by running
"dxsetup.exe" directly from the CD or by choosing "Install
DirectX 7.0" in the autostart program.
2.2 Sound related
-----------------
P: The game performance is low when playing sounds, or some sounds seem to be
missing..
S: Update your sound drivers. A 100% DirectX 7 compatible driver is required.
P: No music is played.
S: The Sno-Cross CD-ROM must be present in your CD-ROM drive to be able to play the music.
If the CD-ROM is present and you still don’t hear any music check the windows volume control.
The CD Audio might be muted, or set at a very low volume.
2.3 Input controllers (Keyboard, Joystick and Mouse)
----------------------------------------------------
P: The controls seem to reset after a few seconds making it hard to steer.
S: This is caused by a connected joystick which might not be correctly calibrated. Turn off
joystick input in the Options menu.
P: My joystick doesn't seem to work.
S: Exit the Sno-Cross game and enter the Configurations Program and enable joystick
input.
P: My joystick isn't correctly calibrated and there doesn't seem to be such an option.
S: Sno-Cross Extreme uses the DirectInput interface, which has it's own joystick setup/callibration menu.
This can be accessed from: "Start Menu->Control Panel->Game Controllers->Properties"

graphical errors may occur and/or the game might become unstable.

drivers.
