Hints for uninstalling

Use the buttons of the toolbar to control this software. For information about the functions click the buttons now. If you don´t know what´s behind a button while using the software move your mouse to the button and wait for a second. A tooltip will appear.


DIFFERENCE: SHAREWARE AND LICENSED VERSION

1. In shareware there will appear shareware messages. The licensed version doesn´t contain them.

2. 	In shareware you can play the first 15 levels only. The licensed version offers you 120 levels.


REQUIREMENTS

WINDOWS:	Windows 3.x, Windows 95 or Windows NT

CPU:	386 or higher

RAM:	You need 1 MB of free memory.

DISPLAY:	VGA, 640x480, 16 color or higher. We recommend 800x600 with 256 colors or higher

We also recommend a soundcard for effects.


PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

If you are using the PC-Tools for Windows desktop it is possible that there is not sound available even if you switched the sound on in the program setting. In this case you have to change the line SHELL=C:\CPS\WNDT.EXE to SHELL=C:\CPS\WNDTX.EXE in the SYSTEM.INI (contained in the Windows-directory) in the [BOOT] section.

There is no sound even if you switched the sound on in the program setting: perhaps you have no sound card or your sound card is not configured correct. If you only have the PC-speaker use a driver which supports sounds (WAV-files) with the internal pc-speaker.


Hints for deinstalling
