===================================================================
	General Troubleshooting and Help
===================================================================

All of these games will run on Windows 95 and Windows 98.

When you insert the SEGA Puzzle Pack CD into the drive, 
a window should automatically appear allowing you to 
choose which program you want to install, play, or 
uninstall.  If you do not want to run any games, 
click the "X" in the top right corner of the titlebar of
the window - this will instantly exit the program.

To select a game, move the mouse cursor over the graphic 
for the game you would like to play and it the graphic 
should become highlighted.  Once this happens, double 
click the left mouse button and you should be off and 
running.

If this program does not appear automatically, 
try double clicking on your CD-ROM drive or run the 
"run_3in1.exe" program in the root directory of your 
CD-ROM drive (this is D:\ if you CD-ROM drive is 
letter D).  If the program still does not run, try 
manually copying "mfc30d.dll" into the System folder 
in your Windows Folder.  If your Windows Folder is 
"C:\win95", your windows system folder would be 
"C:\win95\system".


To avoid driver compatibility issues with older 
versions of Direct X, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that 
you install Direct X6 and choose the 
"Do not Install Direct X" option when 
installing Lose Your Marbles.  To install Direct X6:

1) You can run the installation process for Columns 3 
   or Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine and choose the
   Install Direct X option.

or

2) You can run the dxsetup program located in the "DirectX"
   folder on the SEGA Puzzle Pack CD.

For Product Specific issues, please look at the other 
readme files that are included on the CD.  To access the 
other readme files:

  1) Go to the My Computer Option
  2) Right Mouse Click on the Puzzle_Pack CD Icon
  3) Choose the Readme File for the product you want to view


===================================================================
	Graphic Related Issues
===================================================================

If you have graphical problems with any of the games or the SEGA 
Puzzle Pack interface, what most likely happened is Microsoft's 
Direct X overwrote your video drivers with the wrong drivers. 
Since SEGA Smash Pack uses Direct X6, your previous drivers are backed up 
when it installs new drivers. One way you can restore the drivers is to: 

1.Double Click on the "My Computer" icon 
2.Double Click on the "Control Panel" icon 
3.Double Click on the "Add/Remove Programs" icon 
4.Choose "Direct X Drivers" and then hit the "Add/Remove Programs" button 
5.Click on the "Restore Video Drivers" button 


Certain video cards require special Direct X drivers to be downloaded from 
your video card manufacturer's web site: 

1.Certain ATI brand video cards (www.atitech.com) 
2.Chips and Technologies (www.chips.com) 
3.Diamond Multimedia (www.diamondmm.com) 
4.Matrox (www.matrox.com) 
5.Number 9 (www.nine.com) 
6.Silicon Integrated Systems (www.sis.com.tw) 
7.Simply the Best (www.stb.com) 
8.Tseng Labs (www.tseng.com) 

If you cannot find your video drivers at this site, try DriversHQ (www.drivershq.com). 


Certain sound cards also require special Direct X drivers to be downloaded from 
your sound card manufacturer's web site: 

1.Aztech Labs - standard in most Packard Bell computers (www.aztechca.com) 
2.Crystal Semiconductor (www.crystal.com) 
3.ESS Technologies (www.esstech.com) 
4.Ensoniq (www.ensoniq.com) 
5.MWAVE (http://watson.mbb.sfu.ca/new.html) 
6.OPTi (www.opti.com) 
7.Sound Blaster 64 AWE or Sound Blaster 32 AWE (www.soundblaster.com) 

If you cannot find your sound drivers at these sites, try DriversHQ (www.drivershq.com). 


If you have a Matrox MGA Mystique or Millenium, you will want 
to install OLDER drivers from Matrox's web site at www.matrox.com.
Some Matrox cards have been known to distort the size of the screen
for DR. R and Columns 3, and have also know to distort the outline
of the puzzle pieces in the Puzzle Pack Interface.  Both of these
issues can be fixed by downloading older drivers.  We recommend 
version 4.03.00.3170 - we have included these drivers on the CD so that you 
will not need to go online to fix this issue.  The drivers are located in the
"Matrox" Folder which is located in the "Drivers" folder of the CD.  To install
the drivers - run the "SETUP.EXE" program in this folder.
