Please read ALL of this document! This stuff is important! 
 
It covers a lot about memory, installation, various graphics cards and 
sound cards.

I. INSTALLATION
 
Video Selection 
--------------- 
The SimHealth installer will attempt to figure out what kind of 
video card you have in your machine. If it is not sure what kind of 
video card you have, or the installer detects a VESA driver in memory
(or in BIOS), it will default to the VESA SUPER VGA driver. You can 
click on the arrow to the right of the VESA SUPER VGA entry for a list 
of other cards that the installer thinks you might have. If your card 
is on this list, you can select it instead of the default VESA driver.
If the installer cannot figure out what kind of card you have and
cannot detect a VESA driver, a large red warning message will be 
displayed. If you wish to continue and try to run SimHealth anyway,
you MUST load some type of VESA driver for your video card.

[CLS]
Sound Selection 
--------------- 
SimHealth cannot automatically detect what kind of sound card you 
have in your machine. You will need to pick your sound card(s) 
out of the lists provided. The installer will then try to verify the 
presence of that sound card in your machine. Certain hardware settings
on your card may be different from what SimHealth is expecting. To
change these settings, select the Change Settings option from the sound
card verification window (where it says "OK" or "Failed!"). For more
information on these hardware settings, see the manual that came with
your sound card. If your sound card is not shown and is 100 percent 
SoundBlaster compatible, you should be able to install for SoundBlaster 
and hear sound and music. See the section on Miles Design Drivers below 
for information on what to do if your sound card is not supporti«ö™Ac not s of l
