TYPICAL: approx. 100 (MB) of hard drive space required During the installation process you will be prompted to install Microsoft's DirectX version 6.

GENERAL GAME ISSUES --------------------------------- PLAYING 1. Double click the icon for the Crazy Paint that was created on your desktop. Screen Resolution - Crazy Paint runs at 640 x 480 at 16 bit color. Crazy Paint may change your screen resolution and color depth while being played. If your screen resolution is 640 x 480 at 16 bit color, then no changes will occur. If your screen resolution is greater than 640 x 480 then your resolution will be changed to 640 x 480 for the duration of the game. Your original screen resolution will be restored when the game is exited. IV. DirectX ----------------------------- Microsoft's DirectX is an extension of the Microsoft Windows operating system designed to provide Windows-based games and multimedia-rich programs with high-performance, real-time access to available hardware on current computer systems. This results in faster and better performing Windows-based games and multimedia-rich programs. Installing DirectX after the Crazy Paint install. 1. Click on 'Start' and select 'Run'. 2. In the 'Open' Box type in x:\dx6core (NOTE: replace x: with the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive) 3. Select 'YES' at the Dialog box to continue. 4. At the conclusion of the DirectX install windows will prompt you to restart. 5. Once windows has restarted you can play the game. V. TROUBLESHOOTING ----------------------------- --If your game is minimized when you print: Some printer drivers will pop up a dialog box when you print, causing the game to be minimized. You can click on the game on the Windows taskbar and the game will be restored. --Animated textures require a great deal of system resources. The more animated textures you have in the picture the slower the game will respond. If your game is running slowly, cut down on the number of animated textures you have and you will see peak performance again. --HP PRINTERS-- ERROR: Not enough printer memory. Unable to print page. SOLUTION: If your print driver is not set up correctly it may not be using all the memory on your printer. Find out how much memory is on your printer and then go to My Computer -> Printers. Then RIGHT click on your printer and then go to the Device Options tab. There will be a section called Printer Memory where you can select the amount of memory on your printer. Make sure this matches the memory that is installed in your printer. VI.
