3. Click on "Browse" and select your CD-ROM drive.
4. Click on STARTWMG.EXE
5. Press ENTER twice.

For a slower computer, we recommend you install MAZE.
1. Follow steps 1-3 above.
2. Select SETUP.EXE

If you are running a resolution higher than 640x480, start MAZE 
with "STARTWMG.EXE /B" to show only MAZE on a black background on 
your screen.

2. Holding down the left mouse button in the walk makes you move.  
3. To move forward, point the cursor higher on the walk; to move 
   back, lower the cursor; to move left, move the cursor to the 
   left, etc.  
4. Remember, you must hold down the left mouse button to move.
5. For simple mazes, click "Maze Presentation" for a bearings map 
   to show where you are in the maze.  (Bearings are available only 
   for simple mazes to help you learn.)

   left corner or click on the icon below the 3D window.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

Processor: Minimum - 386, Recommended - 486 or higher
Memory: 4MB RAM, Video: VGA 256 colors, CD-ROM Drive:
Minimum single speed; recommended double speed, 
Sound: MPC compatible (8-bit or higher), Operating 
System: Any MPC compatible (DOS 3.3 or later, Microsoft
Windows 3.1, etc.). Optional HP compatible printer for
printouts, Mouse, No hard disk installation required.


TROUBLE SHOOTING:

"Program does not work"
- Close down all other software running in the Windows environment 
  before running MAZE. If using a shell other than Windows Program 
  Manager or a third party memory manager, disable before running 
  MAZE.
- Low memory: See "Out of Memory" below.
- Display problem: Try using display driver with 640x480 and 256 
  colors. If MAZE doesn’t start in 256 colors, try starting it with:
     STARTWMG.EXE /O   ("O" overrides the graphics card check)

"Out of memory" 
- Check that you have at least 4 MB of free memory (RAM memory or 
  virtual memory) before attempting to run MAZE. Choose "About...", 
  from the Windows Program Manager to display the current system 
  resources. 
- Turn on the Virtual Memory Manager from Control Panel, Advanced 
  386 section, or increase virtual memory size. Consult your 
  Microsoft Windows manual for instructions.
- Close all other applications in the Windows environment.
- Reset your computer before running MAZE again.

"Application runs slow"
- If Virtual memory is used as memory for the application, MAZE is 
  slower in operation than using RAM memory. Free as much RAM memory 
  as possible.
- The CD-ROM drive and/or CPU is slow. Best performance is achieved 
  with a double speed CD-ROM drive (300 KB/sec) and at least a 486 
  computer running at 33 MHz. 
- Try installing (SETUP.EXE) the application on the hard disk rather 
  than executing MAZE directly from the CD-ROM disc.

"No digital sound" 
- No sound card installed
- Check your sound card matches the system requirements. Also check 
  that you can hear sounds using a WAV-player program (often 
  enclosed with the sound card).
- System volume is set low: MAZE adapts to current system volume 
  setting. Check the current volume in either a software control 
  (often a mixer board program) or hardware regulated volume at the 
  back panel of your sound card.

"Volume control in MAZE does not work" 
- Volume setting not supported. Some sound cards do not support 
  software controlled volume setting. Consult your sound card manual 
  to set the volume.

"Music/speech breaks up during playback"
- Slow CD-ROM disc access or data throughput problem. Check that 
  your CD-ROM drive delivers 150 KB/second of data throughput. Try 
  starting the MAZE application using:  STARTWMG.EXE /S9
- To turn off sound system for MAZE use:  STARTWMG.EXE /S0
- Also try using a CD-ROM disc cache software to optimize reading 
  performance from disc.

"Music is only played for a short period in 3D Virtual Mazewalk"
- Slow CPU: To improve performance with a slow CPU, music is played 
  for only a short period in the 3D Virtual Mazewalk.

"Slow and jerky movement in the '3D Virtual Mazewalk' simulator"
- Slow CPU or slow video card: 3D Virtual Maze Walk’s performance 
  is directly proportional to the speed of the Windows display 
  diver and CPU on your system. The "Distance Time" shown is not 
  dependent on your hardware.

"No printout from 'Amazing Maze Printout' section
- No printer connected or printer not ready: Amazing Maze Printout 
  requires a Windows compatible printer. Check that the printer is 
  connected to the system and that it is in 'on-line' state.
- The printer is not set as the default Windows printer: No printer 
  setting dialog is available in MAZE. To change the system printer, 
  use "Printer" from Windows Control Panel to setup the printer.
