VI. KNOWN ISSUES:
=====================
If you are unsure about the specification of your computer, try running "DXDIAG" to display useful information about your computer. To do this, follow these steps:
In Windows go to START > RUN
Type "dxdiag" (without quotes) and press ENTER/RETURN
1) If you receive a "D3D8.DLL" error when trying to start the game, it is likely that DirectX has not been updated to the correct version (you can check this on the first page of DXDIAG). To reinstall DirectX, ensure the game disc is in a CD or DVD drive on your computer and follow these steps.
In Windows go to START > RUN and choose "Browse..."
Select your CD or DVD drive in the "Look in:" list at the top
Double click on the yellow "dx9" folder
Double click on the "dxsetup" file
Click on "OK"
Follow the instructions that appear to install DirectX
Ensure you restart your computer before attempting to run the game again
2) Should you experience graphical problems and are using a supported graphics card (see list above), ensure you have installed the latest drivers for the card, which you can download from the manufacturer's website.
ATi - http://www.ati.com
nVidia - http://www.nvidia.com
3) INSTALLING: Win2k/XP - The game must be installed while logged in as an Administrator. You must be 'Power User' at least to be able to save games.
4) When saving a match at the end of a frame, the mouse does not correctly select the save options/saves. Use the keyboard instead to select and save your game.
5) When playing the first classic match with a non-shader card (GF2, GF4MX, Radeon 7xxx etc) you might notice a red shadow underneath the balls. This will be addressed in a future update.
