Windows 95 Tips

If you receive an "out of memory" error try exiting Fresh before running the game.

Install DirectX at least once on your machine. This makes gameplay faster.

To do this

* From the opening screen of Fresh click the Install DirectX button.
* Follow the on-screen instructions.
* Once DirectX is installed u may be required to restart your 
   computer.

For faster gameplay make sure your system is set to display 256 colours. Don't use 16 bit colour or higher unless the game specifies it.

Note  Some games wont work unless you change your system colours to 16 bit colour.  To change to 16 bit, just follow the same instructions outlined below.  If you do not have 16 bit available you may need to see your computer retailer.

To do this

* Right click the mouse on the desktop (not on an icon). 
* Click properties, then settings.
* The desktop area will have the current number of colors and
   screen resolution.
* Select  256 colors
* Click 'Ok' - u may be asked for your Windows disks, and u
   may need to restart your computer.

Try using a screen resolution of 800 x 600, it makes a difference.

To do this

* Right click the mouse on the desktop (not on an icon). 
* Click properties, then 'settings'.
* The desktop area will have the current screen size.
* If u are on 640 x 480 click to the right on the line to take it 
  to 800 x 600.

  may need to restart your computer.

IMPORTANT

If your computers display looks bad, puts lines or otherwise, turn your computer off and re-boot it. Press F8 when booting up and a menu will appear. Select 'Boot in Safe Mode' when Windows starts follow the instructions as outlined above to return your settings to their originals.

The normal settings are 800x600 resolution in 256 colours.
