If any other programs are open at this time data may be lost. Automatic Installation To begin installation, insert the CD-ROM into your drive. If autoplay is active on your machine the CD-ROM interface should open. If nothing happens when the CD is inserted into the drive, autoplay can also be started by double clicking on the CD icon found in 'My Computer'. If neither of these starts the installation, either begin installation manually or enable autoplay on your CD ROM/DVD drive. ------------------------------ 3) Default Controls ------------------------------ The initial default controls are somewhat nebulous and difficult to figure out. Navigate to the Arcade--Options--System Options--Controller screen to view the entire default controls. The onscreen prompts instruct you to press TURBO to Back Up and PASS to Select. Pressing from the main menu will allow you to navigate with your keyboard. Pressing Start from your gamepad will allow you to navigate with your gamepad. That means: Use the arrow keys to go up and down 5 = Select 1 = Back Up Navigate to the controls screen to view the rest of the default controls. ------------------------------ 4) Troubleshooting ------------------------------ 1. Check to make sure your system meets the minimum requirements to run the game. System Requirements are listed at the top of this page. 2. In order for your to run this game, your hardware must be certified to work with Microsoft DirectX 6. If you are experiencing errors and crashes within your game, check to see if your hardware is properly certified. Your system must be 100% compatible with DirectX to ensure the game will work. Make sure you hardware has the correct drivers loaded to play games that require DirectX. To check the status of DirectX 6 on your computer: Click Start-Find-Files or Folders and search your C: drive for the file DXDIAG.EXE This will run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. In this case, check your Display and Sound tab for Certified: YES. If either says Certified: NO, you must contact your computer manufacturer for updated drivers. Call them and ask for drivers that are certified to work with DirectX 6. If they cannot provide you with that, your system does not meet the minimum requirement to run the game. 3. If your hardware is certified and you still have problems, it may be due to a software conflict. Close down all open applications and utilities. From your desktop, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete (just once!) and "End Task" on all programs listed EXCEPT the one called Explorer. Your system may not immediately shut down the programs listed. Wait for Windows to say it cannot close the program automatically. If this occurs, press "End Task". 4. If your gamepad is not functioning properly, you must check to see that it is configured and calibrated in the Game Controllers panel (Start-Settings-Control Panel-Game Controllers). Make sure your gamepad/joystick is listed and the status says OK. If not, you must "Add" it and next "Calibrate" it before starting your game. Once done, check the Advanced tab and verify that your controller ID is set to 1. 5. If your Windows has Active Desktop on, it may interfere with the video of the game. You should turn off Active Desktop (right-click your desktop, highlight Active Desktop and de-select View Desktop as Web Page.) ------------------------------ 5) Known Issues ------------------------------ INTRO VIDEO PROBLEMS: Some lower end processors may experience sound dropping out from the intro video of the game.
