- TROUBLE SHOOTING
- ---------------------
-
- It is recommended that you run Dragon Dice at 16-bit color depth (65 thousand
- colors). Some art may look better at this color depth.
-
- ---------------------
-
- Dragon Dice uses .AVI files for movies. If your MCI video device is disabled,
- there may be errors when attempting to play the movies in Dragon Dice. To enable
- your MCI video device, double-click on the Multimedia icon in the Control Panel,
- click on the "Advanced" tab, double-click on "Media Control Devices",
- double-click on "Motion Video Device", and click on the "Use This Media
- Control Device" radio button. Click OK.
-
- ---------------------
-
- The first time you run Dragon Dice (and only the first time), you will be presented
- with a preview movie for Interplay Productions new title "Starfleet Academy". This
- preview requires DirectX 2 or later to be installed in order to run. If you did not
- choose to install DirectX 3a during the Dragon Dice installation, or you do not already
- have DirectX installed, the preview will not run. If you wish to play the preview again,
- you can find it on the Dragon Dice CD in the \DEMOS\SFA directory. Run SFADEMO.EXE.
-
- ---------------------
-
- Dragon Dice requires DirectX 3a in order to run properly. You will be given the option
- to install DirectX 3a during the Dragon Dice installation program. If you choose to skip
- DirectX 3a installation at this point, you may install it from the Autoplay application.
- Place the Dragon Dice CD in the CD-ROM drive and wait for the Autoplay application to
- run. Click "Install DirectX 3a".
-
- ---------------------
-
- If you have installed the Indeo Interactive codecs for AVI playback and are still
- not seeing video properly. Try the following:
-
- 1. Enter the Settings menu under the Start Menu and click on Control Panel.
- 2. Double-click on Add/Remove Programs.
- 3. Click on the "Windows Setup" tab at the top of the window.
- 4. Scroll down until you see "Multimedia" in the listbox and double-click on it.
- 5. Scroll down until you see "Video Compression". If the check box next to this
- entry is empty then you do not have certain necessary components installed on
- your machine. Click on the checkbox so a check appears and click OK at the
- bottom of the window. Click OK at the bottom of the Add/Remove Programs window.
- 6. You will be asked to insert your Windows 95 disc to install the proper
- components. Follow the instructions provided to install them. You may be
- required to reboot before the changes will take effect.
