LucasArts proudly presents the award-winning duo of The Secret
of Monkey Island (Monkey 1), and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's
Revenge (Monkey 2).  These products will provide you with many
hours of enjoyment and both games should run on nearly all IBM
PC's or clones.  If you are experiencing any difficulties, you
may find the answer to your question here in the next several
screens.
             
                            SOUND & MUSIC

Sound effects are created either by your internal speaker or by
your Adlib or Sound Blaster compatible sound card.

Monkey 2 was our first product to incorporate our patented
iMuseTM interactive music system.  Monkey 2 is best experienced
with either an Adlib TM, Sound Blaster TM, or Roland TM
compatible sound card.  If you do not have a Sound Blaster TM
or 100% compatible sound card, you may not be able to fully enjoy 
the benefits of digital sounds and FM music.

                          TROUBLESHOOTING

This section will provide you with some solutions to gamers'
most common technical problems.

A majority of all sound problems encountered in a game have to
do with hardware communications.  This means that either 1) your
game thinks your hardware is configured in some way other than
it really is, or 2) your sound card itself is depending on either
a PORT, an IRQ number, or a DMA channel which is being used by
another device in your system, or 3) (If running in DOS mode under
Windows 95) you may not have all your sound card DOS drivers
loaded, or 4) your sound card may not be 100% Sound Blaster
compatible.

Unfortunately, hardware configuration problems are not always
obvious. Your game may appear to play music and sound effects just
fine, and then, at some unexpected moment, the sound may stop, or
the game may "lock up."  This is often not the fault of the game,
but a hardware conflict that didn't occur until the game used the
hardware in a particular way.

Finally -- and this is extremely important -- just because Game A
works with your configuration and Game B won't, does not
necessarily mean the problem is in Game B. It may be that Game B
uses capabilities of the hardware that Game A doesn't, and is
therefore more likely to run into problems with your hardware
configuration.

If you don't know how to resolve a sound card problem, first
consult the documentation provided with your sound card.  Sound
card manufacturers often provide diagnostic programs with their
cards. If you are still encountering difficulties, see the
Technical Support section on the next screen.

If you are playing Monkey 1 or 2 under Windows 95 and choose to
minimize the game by using the ALT-TAB combination, you may
notice that game music continues to play while viewing your
Desktop. If you don't want to hear music when the game is
minimized, pause the game before hitting ALT-TAB.
