Windows 95
~~~~~~~~~~
Because Grand Prix 2 was designed and developed to run under MS-DOS
you may experience problems running under Windows 95. To achieve
optimal frame rate and performance levels, it is recommended that
you reboot your system in MS-DOS mode.

NB: It is important to ensure all necessary CD-ROM and Soundcard
drivers are loaded before attempting to run Grand Prix 2; failure to
do so may result in the game failing to load. If you are unsure
as to how to do this, or if your machine came with Windows 95
pre-installed, please consult the technical documents contained in
the UTILS directory of this CD-ROM, or seek further advice from your
hardware manufacturer.

Windows 95 - AutoPlay
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some Windows 95 machines do not support AutoPlay. In this instance
you will need to double-click on the icon for your CD-ROM drive 
(usually D:) to install the game. 

Windows 95 Keyboards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On certain video cards Windows 95 is unable to restore certain DOS
based graphical applications such as Grand Prix 2. This is
particularly a problem with regards to the new Windows 95 keyboards
containing the 'Start' and 'Windows' keys. On pressing these
keys Windows suspends Grand Prix 2 to bring up a menu but is
then unable to restore it. The only solution to this problem is to
run the simulation in MS-DOS mode.

Windows 95 Floppy Disk Drives
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When running under Windows 95, the game assumes that the floppy disk
drive will always be labelled A:. Windows 95 users wishing to save
game files to floppy must ensure that their floppy drive is logged on
as A: and not B: or similar.

Microsoft Plus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To prevent problems whilst running Grand Prix 2, the System Agent
should be disabled.

Auto-Detect
~~~~~~~~~~~
If you experience problems with the auto-detect program, please
follow the steps listed below:

1. Manually select your soundcard and then enter the correct Port,
   DMA and IRQ settings. If you are unsure as to what these are, try
   typing SET from the DOS prompt or consult your hardware manuals.

2. Run the detection/sound process in MS-DOS mode.

Sound Galaxy Pro
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The auto-detect program can sometimes wrongly identify this card as
a SoundBlaster 16. Users must manually select SoundBlaster and then
enter the correct Port, IRQ and DMA settings.

Gravis Ultrasound
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The playback quality of the sound test sample may sound garbled.
This should not affect playback quality during the game.

ATI Stereo F/X
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grand Prix 2 is not compatible with this make of soundcard. Users
should select NO SOUND.

Joystick Control
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can switch joystick control in the menus on and off with
Control+J. This is particularly useful if you change the make
of joystick connected to the machine as the calibration
information will then be put out of step with the actual
joystick. Typical symptoms of this are the red highlight
sticking at the top of a menu.
