TROUBLESHOOTING:

For optimal playing conditions, your display should be set to 16-bit color.  

If you experience any display problems, be sure that you have the most current video driver version for your display card.  Display drivers are often available for downloading through most on-line services.  In addition, most manufacturers of video display cards have web sites that include the most current display drivers.  

In general, if you experience a crash while playing, it may be due to a similar conflict with other applications.  All screen savers should be turned off before installing or playing AMBER.  AMBER is not compatible with PointCast; be sure to disable PointCast before playing.   Also, it is a good idea to turn off all TSRs prior to playing.  

On systems with AutoRun enabled, attempting to launch AMBER from the Start Menu, then inserting the CD, may result in problems.  Please insert the AMBER CD before launching the application.

If you experience other technical problems running the game, following are some possible solutions...

Symptom:
Animated areas of the screen have a greenish tint and stand out from their backgrounds...

Solution:
This suggests that your display card is not completely Windows 95 compliant.  Check to see if there is a more current video driver available for your display card.  If so, try the new driver.  Alternatively, setting your display to 24-bit color will correct the problem.  

Symptom:
Animations do not run smoothly...

Solution:
Try increasing the cache size of your CD-ROM.  To do this, open the "System" Control Panel (from the Settings menu of your desktop).  Next, select the "Performance" tab in the control panel.  Select "File System" from the Advanced Settings at the bottom of the control panel.  Finally, select the "CD-ROM" tab.  You will see a slider that allows you to adjust the size of the "Supplemental cache size."  Move the slider all the way to the right, increasing the cache size to "Large."  Click "OK" to save changes, then exit the control panels.


Symptom:
System does not respond to mouse clicks...
-OR-
Animations do not run smoothly... 

In some game sequences, a looping animation appears on screen.  The animation will continue to play until you click the mouse button to move.  On some 486DX2/66 systems, the game will not accept mouse clicks in these situations.
