The version 1.24 updated files include a new V.EXE player, Install program, 
and different sound drivers. 

This new version should overcome the following problems:

 o VESA-in-rom problem. If your particular video card contains its VESA
   driver within the video bios rom of the card, the new version of V.EXE
   should now properly intialize and work with your card. 

 o S3-type video card support. The S3-type cards are now supported in
   MCGA mode. SVGA mode is just too slow.

 o Error 20/02 Sound Buffer Failure. Rather than exiting the game with an
   error 02 or error 20, this new version will reinitialize sound cards
   on the fly if a sound buffer failure occurs thus allowing the player
   to continue the game. If you are experiencing periods of silence (sound
   card initialization), you may wish to reconfigure your system to provide
   better support for the sound buffer. The best support can be provided by
   a CD-ROM controller on an isolated DMA channel (preferably 16-bit) and
   a sound card on its own isolated DMA channel.

 o Tandy MPC IRQ 10 support. The new install should allow IRQ 10 selection
   for TANDY MPC computers which feature this setting.


Other notes:

If the sound cuts out during the game and you are using IRQ 7, you may wish
to change the IRQ setting -- some mother boards generate spurious IRQ 7s.

You may obtain information about your system by typing "V ?" from the
directory where The Seventh Guest is installed.

Thank you for your patience and support,
