4.  WINDOWS 95

Normality has been designed to run optimally under DOS but will run
quite happily under Windows 95 as long as you bear in mind the
following points.

The INSTALL program will give a low memory warning when running under
Windows 95, this should be ignored.

Normality makes full use of 8Mb of memory (and any additional
memory). Any additional overheads such as Windows 95 may slow the
game down, if this occurs we recommend that you run Normality from a
DOS exclusive mode.


5.  SPEED ISSUES

Normality pushes your computer to it's limits which can under certain
circumstances cause the game to slow down. This can manifest itself
in two ways, the time taken to load data off the CD or the actual
frame rate.

Load time can be improved by choosing the MAXIMUM install option.
Frame rate can be improved by switching to VGA in the options menu.


5.  UNINSTALLING NORMALITY

Normality can be removed from your hard drive by deleting it's
directory structure in the usual way. However if the game has been
installed via Windows 95 Autoplay feature it will have added two
lines to your WIN.INI file.

[NORMALITY]
C:\NORMAL

These lines should be removed as well.


7.  SCREEN SAVERS

When running under Windows 95 we have found that on a small number
of machines task switching can cause some graphical corruption. The
most likely cause of a task switch is a screen saver so if you
experience this problam we advise you to disable your screen saver
whilst playing Normality.


8.  CD ADVICE

When playing Normality do not remove the CD because the game
uses data stored on it.


9.  MOUSE

Ensure that your mouse driver software is loaded before playing
Normality.
