TROUBLESHOOTING
1. System color requirements.
2, Setting up the free software.
2. Video problems.
3. Sound problems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1)System color requirements

The Microsoft Home CD Sampler is meant to run specifically in
256 colors.  If you have trouble running the demo, it runs slow, 
or the colors look funny, or you receive error messages relating 
to your video driver, you may want to change your display driver 
settings. To do this go to Program Manager and go into Windows 
Setup in the "main" program group and change the display driver 
to one that uses 256 colors.  You may also want to change the 
resolution to 640x480 for better performance.


2) Setting up the free software

After SETUP for the free software is complete, you may not see the final 
exit dialog. To get the final dialog, hold down the CTRL key (located near 
the large spacebar) and then press the ESC key. Select Custom Entertainment Pack
from the list and then click OK on the dialog to exit.

3) Video Problems

There might be some problems running the Microsoft Home CD Sampler 
with some ATI Mach 8 or 32 video drivers. If you have a problems with 
the CD Sampler when using these cards, go to the settings for these 
drivers in Program Manager and turn the "Device Bitmaps" off.

4) Sound problems

The Microsoft Home CD Sampler will run without a sound card, 
but it is much more informative and entertaining if you are able 
to play sounds on your computer. 
If you have a sound card but it is not working with the CD Sampler 
(or Windows) you need to set up the card to play under Windows. 
Make sure that the volume for your speakers is set at an audible level.

A small number of Media Vision sound card drivers (Pro Audio Spectrum cards)
may not play the sound in the Microsoft Home CD Sampler correctly.  
You may hear choppy sound or sentences cut off. If you have a Media 
Vision card and experience problems, you may need to upgrade your driver.  
Contact Media Vision Technical support to find out how to obtain a 
new driver.
