What makes Jigsaws Galore the best?
===================================
1. Powerful! Play and create jigsaws from 4 to 64,000 pieces.
2. Easy! Even a complete novice can start solving jigsaws immediately.
The jigsaw preview screen makes finding your favorite jigsaw a snap
and even lets you change the number and size of pieces in the jigsaw.
3. Full-featured! Automatically arrange pieces around the outside of the
board to leave room to solve the puzzle. Other programs make you scroll
the screen to find a piece. You can never lose a piece "off screen" with
this program! We take away the drudgery by sorting pieces by shape or
color, as you wish. Change the size of pieces on the fly. Now you can
fit all of the pieces on the board all of the time. And it's so easy to
create new jigsaws! You can even create self-contained "gift" jigsaws
to email to your friends. Of course there's flying hints, context
sensitive help, sound effects and music, as you'd expect.
4. Fun! The jigsaws look (and sound) great. Pieces can look like paper,
card or wood, just like real ones. Sneaky cheat modes let you flash the
piece you're looking for, or fetch it, or turn pieces the right way up.
You can even watch the jigsaw solve itself.
About the program:
==================
The program requires Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 or later and the evaluation
version takes around 4MB of disk space when installed. Please see the
game's ordering information for details of how to order a full version
and extra jigsaws, including CD-ROM version with 192 jigsaws and bonus
games.

IMPORTANT NOTE for ATI Rage 128 graphics cards:
===============================================
If the installation completed successfully but the game won't start and only shows a small gray box, and your graphics card is based on the ATI Rage 128 (including the ATI Rage 128VR and the ATI All-in-Wonder), you will either need to download the latest ATI driver from http://support.ati.com/drivers/index.html
or, set the card acceleration setting to zero as follows:
Right-click My Computer on the desktop, and then click Properties.
On the Performance tab, click Graphics.
Move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None.
Click OK, then click OK, then click Yes when you are prompted to restart your computer.
or, Open the file C:\Program Files\Jigsaws\jigwin.ini using Windows Notepad and find the following line:
[Advanced options]
Add a line underneath it so it looks like this:
[Advanced options]
Skins Enabled=0
If you can't find [Advanced options] then add both lines. Save the file and close Notepad. Now start the game and you should be all set.
