                          ------------------
                           trouble shooting 
                          ------------------


	TROUBLE: The demo fails with "Out of memory" message.
	SOLVE: Expand your swap memory file. We recommend 192 MB
	       static file on 64 MB systems and not less than 128 MB
	       file on 128 MB (and more) systems.


	T: I have 64 MB RAM and the demo doesn't work smoothly all
	   the time.
	S: Close any unneeded applications that works in background.
	   Switch off the sound by unchecking "Sound FX" option
	   in demo menu.


	T: The sounds are not playing properly.
	S: You have probably older sound hardware and/or software.
	   Try to install newest drivers for your sound card or
	   change the card itself. You can also disable all the
	   sounds by unchecking "Sound FX" option in demo menu.


	T: The demo quits with "OpenGL doesn't support this mode"
	   message.
	S: Try to choose lower resolution and/or color depth.


	T: I have fast 3D accelerator but rendering is slow
	   or incorrect.
	S: Install the latest OpenGL drivers for your 3D card.
	   Currently, demo works with following 3D chipsets:
	   nVidia Riva 128/TNT/TNT2, Matrox G200/G400, S3 Savage,
	   Intel 740, 3Dfx VooDoo Banshee. We didn't have
	   the possibility to check this demo on other 3D cards;
	   however, it should run on every accelerator which
	   supports *FULL* OpenGL ICD.


	If reported any other troubles, please contact us!
