   (c) Copyright Microsoft Corporation, 1995

   This document contains important information specific
   to the Microsoft Fury3 Trial Version.

   The Microsoft Fury3 Trial Version has the full
   functionality of the retail version  of Fury3 with these exceptions:
   - The Trial Version does not support the "Show Videos" option in
     the Game options dialog box, so videos do not play.
   - You can only fly one mission.
   - You cannot save or resume games.
   - Graphics in the Trial Version's online Help are 16-color,
     and therefore are not as high-quality as the Windows 95
     Help graphics in the retail version of the game.

   >  Troubleshooting Microsoft Fury3 Setup
   -------------
Below are some common errors encountered while
installing Microsoft Fury3 and explanations of the
errors:

* Fury3 requires at least a 486 processor.
You must either upgrade to an Intel 486 or higher
processor, or switch to a computer with an Intel 486 or
higher processor.

* This application requires a newer version of
Microsoft Windows.
Fury3 requires Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later.
To purchase a Windows upgrade, see your local retailer.

* Windows is running in standard mode. Win 32S can only
run in 386 enhanced mode.(Windows 3.10 only)
If you have 8 MB of RAM, as required by Microsoft Fury3,
and are unable to run Windows in enhanced mode, you may
need to reconfigure your computer. You can determine if
Windows is running in standard or enhanced mode by
clicking About on the Help menu.

NOTE: If you are unsure how much RAM your computer has,
you can run Microsoft Diagnostics (MSD), or check with
the manufacturer of your computer. For more information
about running MSD, see your Windows User's Guide.

If your computer has the necessary 8 MB of RAM and you
are an advanced computer user, you may try removing some
TSRs from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and editing your
CONFIG.SYS file to make more memory available to Windows.

Below are examples of clean boot AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files that should make enough memory
available for Windows to run in enhanced mode.

IMPORTANT: Use the File Manager to copy and rename your
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files in case you need to
restore your current configuration.

Example for a clean boot AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
Path=c:\;c:\dos;c:\windows
Prompt $p$g
Set Temp=c:\temp(make sure it points to a valid temp
directory)
Include any command lines necessary for sound cards,
CD-ROM drives, or hard disk compression utilities.

Example for a clean boot CONFIG.SYS file:
Device=c:\windows\himem.sys
Files=65
Buffers=20
Stacks=9,256
Shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos\ /p /e:256
Include any command lines necessary for sound cards,
CD-ROM drives, or hard disk compression utilities.


   -------------
   >  Installing Microsoft Fury3 from a Third-Party
      Shell (Windows 3.1 only)
   -------------
If you can disable the shell through the shell's
configuration/Setup utilities, please do so. Otherwise,
follow these instructions if you are having trouble
installing Microsoft Fury3 from a shell program such as
Packard Bell Navigator, Xsoft TabWorks, or Norton
Desktop.

IMPORTANT: Use the File Manager to copy and rename the
SYSTEM.INI file before following this procedure. For
your protection, do not make changes to the original
SYSTEM.INI file in case you need to restore it later.

1. In the Accessories group, double-click Notepad.
2. On the File menu, click Open.
3. In the File Name box, type:  system.ini
4. Click OK.
5. Under [Boot], locate the 'Shell=' line.
6. Insert a semicolon at the front of the 'Shell=' line.
   This remarks out the line.
7. Create a new line under 'Shell=' and type:
   Shell=Progman.exe
8. On the File menu, click Save.
9. On the File menu, click Exit.
10.Restart Windows, and install Microsoft Fury3.

After you've installed Microsoft Fury3, follow steps
1 - 5 above and then remove the semicolon from the first
'Shell=' line. Place a semicolon in front of the
'Shell=Progman.exe' line you added to remark out
the line.

   -------------
   >  Using a Clean Boot to Resolve Setup Conflicts
   (Windows 3.1 only)
   -------------
If you are unable to install Microsoft Fury3, you can
edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and WIN.INI files
and use a clean boot to make more memory available to
Windows.

IMPORTANT: Use the File Manager to copy and rename the
AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and WIN.INI files before
following this procedure. For your protection, do not
make changes to the original files in case you need to
restore them later.

1. In the Main group, double-click the File Manager.
2. Double-click the Windows directory.
3. Open the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, and WIN.INI files
   and edit out unnecessary command lines. Refer to the
   following examples for what to leave in the files.
4. On the File menu, click Save.
5. On the File menu, click Exit.
6. Restart Windows, and install Microsoft Fury3.

Examples:

AUTOEXEC.BAT
Path=c:\;c:\dos;c:\windows
Prompt $p$g
Set Temp=c:\temp (make sure it points to a valid temp
directory)
Include any command lines necessary for audio cards,
CD-ROM drives, or hard disk compression utilities.

CONFIG.SYS
Device=c:\windows\himem.sys
Files=65
Buffers=20
Stacks=9,256
Shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos\ /p /e:256
Include any command lines necessary for audio cards,
CD-ROM drives, or hard disk compression utilities.

WIN.INI
Insert a semicolon in front of the 'Load=' line and the
'Run=' line in the 'Windows' category to remark out the
lines.

NOTE: Remarking out the lines only has to be done if
there are commands on the lines.

Rename the Startup group in Program Manager if any
programs are being loaded through it.

   -------------
   >  Resolving Setup Freezes During Installation
   (Windows 3.1 only)
   -------------
If Setup stalls during installation, and you are running
MS-DOS 6.0 or later, run Scandisk followed by Defrag /f.
For information about these two commands, see the MS-DOS
User's Guide. After the commands are completed, restart
Windows and install Microsoft Fury3.

If you are not running MS-DOS 6.0 or later, you can use
the Chkdsk /f command.
You can then use a defragmentation utility such as PC
Tools or Norton Desktop.

   -------------
   >  Starting Microsoft Fury3 if You Are Using the PC
   Tools Desktop (Windows 3.1 only)
   -------------
If you are using PC Tools Desktop as your Windows shell,
you will need to restart Windows after installing
Microsoft Fury3 by exiting Windows and typing Win at
the prompt.

------------------------------------------
  B.  HARDWARE AND SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY
------------------------------------------

   -------------
   >  Optimizing Performance on Minimum-Configuration
   Machines
   -------------
If you have a computer with a 486/66 processor and 8 MB
of RAM, the following steps may improve performance:
* Be sure that you are not logged on to a network.
* Close any open applications.
* Run Fury3 in Full Screen, Panoramic format.
* Modify options in the Graphics Options dialog box:
  1. On the Fury3 Options menu, click Graphics Options.
  2. Select None in the Shadow Detail box.
  3. Select Normal Quality in the Image Quality box.
  4. Select Low Detail in the Texture Detail box.
  5. Select Off in the Debris box.
  6. Make sure the Show Sky Texture check box is cleared.
When you reduce the detail levels, you affect the
appearance of Fury3 -- do the above only if speed is the
primary consideration.

* (Windows 3.1 only) Increase the size of your swap file
(see the README topic Increasing the Size of Your Swap
File).

* (Windows 3.1 only) Use the clean boot configuration
(see the README topic Using a Clean Boot to Resolve
Setup Conflicts).
Tailor the clean boot so that it:
- Loads the minimal number of memory resident drivers
  and programs needed to run Windows.
- Does not enable expanded memory (EMM386 should be
  configured for NOEMS).
- Does not load SmartDrive (this becomes a tradeoff
  between more memory and slower hard drive
  performance -- on some systems this may lead to slower
  game play).

* (Windows 3.1 only) Install more memory in your machine
to speed up Microsoft Fury3. 10 MB of RAM is recommended.

   -------------
   >  Other Performance Issues
   -------------
* If you are using a CH Flightstick Pro, a Gravis
Phoenix/Firebird, or compatible joystick: When two
joystick buttons are pressed simultaneously, the
joystick interprets the multiple presses as a Hat
Switch action. To prevent this, press only one joystick
button at a time.

* Users of slower machines may experience a delay in
game play when entering and exiting tunnels. This may
also happen when Fury3 is loading game data. Please do
not restart your computer if this occurs.

Modify options in the Graphics Options dialog box:
  1. On the Fury3 Options menu, click Graphics Options.
  2. Select None in the Shadow Detail box.
  3. Select Normal Quality in the Image Quality box.
  4. Select Low Detail n the Texture Detail box.
  5. Select Off in the Debris box.
  6. Make sure the Show Sky Texture check box is cleared.

* (Windows 95 only) Fury3 only recognizes Joystick 1 in
the Joystick Properties box. Be sure that the joystick
you are using with Fury3 is connected to your computer's
first game port.

* (Windows 3.1 only) You may experience drift or
instability when using a joystick. This may be caused by
background processes, such as running Fury3 with other
applications open, networking, or reformatting a large
document in a word-processing program. If you are
running your joystick through the game port on your
sound card, you can improve performance by using a
dedicated game card.

   -------------
   > Setting Up Programmable Joysticks (ThrustMaster,
   Gravis)
   -------------

   >  Troubleshooting Sound Cards
   -------------
Use the following list of troubleshooting suggestions
if Microsoft Fury3 does not play sound properly:

* Be sure you are using the latest sound driver
available. Contact your sound card manufacturer to
obtain the latest sound driver.

* Be sure that your system's volume control is not
muted and is turned up.

* Verify that Windows 95 can play .WAV files:
  1. Click the Start button, and then point to Settings.
  2. Click Control Panel.
  3. Double-click the Sounds icon.
  4. Try to play a .WAV file.

* Verify that Windows 3.1 can play .WAV files:
  1. Click the Main group, and then double-click
     Control Panel.
  2. Double-click the Sound icon.
  3. Try to play a .WAV file.

* If Windows cannot play a .WAV file:
Check to see that you have an audio card. If you don't
have an audio card, contact your equipment
dealer to obtain one.

* If you are able to play a .WAV file:
  1. Start Microsoft Fury3.
  2. On the Options menu, click Sound Options.
  3. Verify that the Play Sound Effects and Play Music
     check boxes are checked, and that Volume for both
     is 100%. If the volume is turned up, then click
     Advanced.
  4. Verify that Fury3 recognizes an audio driver by
     looking at the Sound Card Detected line.
  5. Click Test to see if Fury3 will play a sound file.

*If you are having trouble hearing sound in Fury3, it
may be related to the type of sound card you have. Use
the list of sound cards and settings below to adjust
settings for your sound card.
  1. On the Fury3 Options menu, click Sound Options. In
     the Sound Options dialog, click Advanced.
  2. In the Number of Buffers box, select the number
     that correlates to the number of buffers for
     your sound card in the list below. Then select the
     appropriate number for Buffer Size.
  3. Click Test to listen to the results of your
     changes. Click Default to return the numbers to
     their original values.
