TITLE   :Installing and Running Links with Windows NT
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you install Links, The Challenge of Golf, in Windows NT 3.1, you
will receive the following error message:

   An application has attempted to directly access the hard disk, which
   cannot be supported. This may cause the application to function
   incorrectly.

WORKAROUND
==========

The two choices at this point are to Terminate and Ignore. If you
choose Ignore, Windows NT allows Links to complete its setup routine.

Links may freeze on the first swing of the first hole. To correct this
problem, start the Links program but don't choose the Start Game
option. Select the System menu option from the initial Links screen.
Turn off the sound options for Commentary, Wildlife, and All Other
Sounds. Choose Exit and then select the Start option from the Links
menu screen. Links should function properly after these changes are
made.
