if you are not sure what it sounds like.

It also will cancel the Jukebox Mode with the list 
of songs you have chosen.

ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER:

On machines with some older ATI Ultra video cards 
there may be problems with transitions between 
scenes in some of our animations when using the 
1024x768 video drivers. Please contact ATI 
Technologies for new  video drivers. For  your 
convenience we have included a list of phone 
numbers for video and sound board manufacturers 
in the MPC Trouble Shooting Guide which came 
with Sing-A-Long.

Sing-A-Long music files are not designed to play 
through MIDI. The MIDI files in Sing-A-Long have 
been optimized for the General MIDI standard. 
Using any non-general MIDI device will not 
yield the correct sounds.

If you have a slower 386 computer (less than 
20 MHz) and are running your video card in 256 
colors, the animations and the playback of the 
sound effect samples may be erratic. Try setting 
your video card to 16 colors. This should 
significantly speed up the program performance. 
In some cases even relatively fast machines may
be slowed down by a slow video card. 

If you notice that Sing-A-Long is slow and that there 
seems to be a lot of hard disk access, you may have 
Windows set to use a Temporary Swap File. Performance 
of Sing-A-Long, and most other software as well, can be 
significantly enhanced by setting virtual memory to use 
a Permanent Swap File. This is a setting in the 386 
Enhanced section of your Control Panel. Read your 
Windows manual for instructions. 

Sound effects in the animations are not supported in 
the Microsoft Windows Sound System version of Sing-A-Long,
due to the limitations of the Windows Sound System.
