TROUBLESHOOTING
===============

Screen Savers other than Windows Desktop Screen Saver have
an unusual effect on the game. Therefore if you are using a
screen saver other than Windows Desktop you should deactivate 
it before playing the game.

If game runs slowly or sound effects and/or music sounds strange,
try one or all of the following:

1. Shut down all unnecessary active Windows applications.

2. REM all unnecessary TSR's in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS

3. If you have EMM386 in your CONFIG.SYS with NOEMS, remove the NOEMS.
