TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have a computer with two or more CD-ROM drives, you should only run the game 
from the drive that you used to install the program.

If you are using an Aptiva(TM) machine equipped with the MWAVE sound card and you 
cannot run the program, please contact IBM to receive the PHATFIX.EXE MWAVE sound card 
patch for Sierra(TM) games. 

If you are experiencing graphic problems:

1) Eat My Dust uses Microsoft DirectX version 2. Please contact your video card 
   manufacturer for the newest video driver that supports DirectX version 2. 
	
2) Close all windows, toolbars, and background utilities (i.e. WC Clock).

3) Set the number of colors to be displayed to 256. Some color cards (especially 
   Cirrus Logic or Trident video cards) may require colors to be set at 65,536; 
   65,535; 64K; or 65K, depending on the vendor. (Refer to your Windows guide on
   Running the Setup Program or Setting Up Windows.) If you still encounter a 
   problem, try changing your video configuration to Microsoft's generic SVGA 
   640x480 256-color mode.

NOTE: For your convenience, a list of video card manufacturers can be found under 
"Support" on the Sierra install menu. 


PERFORMANCE
To improve demo performance please try the following...

Before launching the Eat My Dust demo:
1) Make sure that all windows, toolbars, and background utilities (i.e. WC Clock)
   are closed.
2) Turn OFF any virus-scanning programs and screen savers that might be running.
3) Close ALL other applications. If you are running an alternative desktop, leave 
   only your desktop program running. NOTE: Some alternative desktops may not be  
   compatible.  

While running the Eat My Dust demo:
1) Check "Force Low Memory Environment" on the Options screen.
2) Uncheck "Music CD On" on the Options screen.
3) Select "Low" or "Ultra Low" detail level on the Options screen.
4) Check Engine Sound volume "Off" on the Options screen.
5) Uncheck "Character Sounds On" on the Options screen.


DRIVING HINTS
If you get stuck in  a wall or on an object, use the Reverse function to back out,
then continue driving.

If you get lost off track or cannot free your car from an object using Reverse, hit 
the "Home" key on your keyboard; this returns your car to the Start line but erases 
all the laps you have completed so far. Your opponents will not be returned to Start 
and will not lose laps. Use "Home" for emergencies only.
