- The PCXL Disc Mini-Faq:
- Q: Why is my disc not working under Windows 98?
- A: At this point, the disc is Windows 95 compatible only. We're working on
- getting full compatibility with '98 starting next month but Microsoft lied
- about backwards compatibility so blame them, not us.
- Q: Why are the colors screwed up? You idiots!
- A: Make sure your desktop is set to 16-bit color before running.
- Q: Why is my CD cracked in half? You f%$@&^g idiots!
- A: No good answer to that one. If this happens give your postman a good
- talking to and call 1-800-678-3643 to get a replacement.
- Q: Why is the sky blue?
- A: Go ask your parents. We're not role models.

- Troubleshooting common problems:
-
- Problem : The colors on my monitor flash red whenever I run the PCXL disc:
- Solution: Reset your display from 256 Colors to High Color (16 Bit) or TrueColor (24 or 32 Bit) color.
- You can accomplish this by opening the Display control panel, and choosing High Color or
- True Color under the settings tab.
-
- Problem : The PCXL screen does not display properly. There is a large black rectangle in the center of
- the screen.
-
- Solution: You may be experiencing a conflict between the DirectDraw Driver and your Direct-X hardware.
- The solution is to disable DirectDraw hardware acceleration using "Dxtool" in the
- Engine/Support/DirectX setup folder. But you CAN keep the "Use Direct 3D Hardware
- Acceleration" feature turned ON.
