     Elvira came out in 1990.  Because new technology has been developed 
     
     you may experience problems with this game on a 386 or 486.  We have
     
     tested this game on both these platforms and found that it worked fine 
     
     with our configurations.  However, you may experience lock-ups or 
     
     garbled graphics.  Please read the following instructions, they may 
     
     solve these problems.
