If you are running Tennis Masters Series for the first time, or are encountering sound and video related problems, please make sure that you are using the most current drivers available on the hardware manufacturer's website.
When installing the game, you will be prompted to install DirectX 8.0. It is required to install DirectX 8.0 in order to play Tennis Masters Series.
-----------------------------------------------------------
III. Sound and Video
-----------------------------------------------------------
Problem: I cannot hear any sound and/or music within the game.
Solution: Make sure that your volume options in game are not set to 0 and that you haven't muted any sound line out.
-----------------------------------------------------------
IV. Control and Interface
-----------------------------------------------------------
Problem: I cannot move my mouse or type any text within the game or move my player around.
Solution: Verify that your mouse and/or keyboard is properly hooked up to your system and detected/configured by windows. Changing mouse/keyboards/joysticks when you are already in the game can have unexpected results.
-----------------------------------------------------------
V. Connectivity
-----------------------------------------------------------
Problem: I cannot see any game on my local area network.
Solution: Make sure that your network card is properly installed and configured. TCP IP protocol is required in order to play in multiplayer. A good way to test if you are properly configured is to use the command "ping".
