Use the Camera angle keys (<Q> and <W> by default) to re-position the camera. 2. You might need to Revisit levels you have already passed, some clocks and carrots only appear after you beat certain levels and you might not have gotten all of the Clocks and Carrots. 3. Don't remap your keys, the default configuration is the best possible. 4. You must sneak up quietly on some Villains to attack them. ------------------------------ 4) Troubleshooting ------------------------------ -DirectX 6.1- In order for the game to run, your computer must have DirectX 6.1 or higher installed. If you don't know whether your machine meets this requirement then it is recommended that you install them. -Manual Installation- To manually install DirectX 6.1 go to http://www.Microsoft.com/DirectX and download the latest version of DirectX that is available and install it. -Effects of installing DirectX- Installing DirectX may result in any manufacturers video card utilities being disabled (e.g. Matrox Powerdesk, Diamond InControl etc.). These utilities will no longer work, and any options to change video settings etc. will revert back to the control of Windows (to access the display properties, right click the mouse on the Windows desktop and select 'Properties', from the Window that opens, and select the 'Settings' tab to enter the 'Display Properties' screen). -'Insert Disk' request during installation of DirectX 6.1- If you receive a message asking you to insert your Windows CD-ROM during the installation of DirectX, it means that some part of Windows needed by DirectX is not installed (usually its a sound card related utilities such as volume control). If you receive this message, insert your Windows CD and install the required files. When this is done, you will need to reinstall DirectX in order to ensure a proper installation. -Problems restarting machine after installation of DirectX- If after installing DirectX, you restart your machine and encounter problems (e.g. a black screen is displayed rather than the Windows desktop) you may need to restore your old video card drivers. In order to see the Windows desktop to do this, start your machine in 'Safe Mode'. This can be done as follows... 1.Restart your machine, and when the BIOS screen appears (a screen listing CPU type etc. in a table) press the F8 key. Your should now see the Windows Startup Menu. 2.Select the Safe Mode option from this menu using the cursor keys and press <ENTER>. 3.Windows will now start and you will see a message telling you that Windows is running in 'Safe Mode'. Press <ENTER> to continue loading Windows. 4.Once Windows finished loading, press the right mouse button on any empty space on your desktop and select 'Properties' from the menu that appears. 5.From the 'Display Properties' menu, choose the 'Settings' tab and then click on 'Advanced' (if you are using the original version of Windows 95, this will be named 'Change Display type'). 6.From the new window that opens click on the 'Adapter' tab, then click on the 'Changeà' icon (if using the original version of Windows 95, click on the 'Change' icon next to 'Adapter Type'). 7.The installation process for adding video drivers will now begin, use the drivers originally supplied for your video card, and follow the manufacturers instructions. -Run through these instructions to make sure your DirectX is working properly- 1.Click , "Find", "Files and Folders"... 2.In the "Named" box type "dxdiag.exe". Make sure that the "Look in" window says "My Computer" and click on button. When Dxdiag.exe comes up Double click on the Icon. 3.Click on the "Display" or "Display 1" tab and look to see if it says Certified Yes or No. If it says no, then write down the Adapter Name, this is your Video card. If you have a 3Dfx card click on "Display 2" and check that card too. 4.Next click on the "Sound" tab, check to see if this one says "Certified: Yes". If it says no then write down the "Device Description", this is your Sound card. 5.If one or more of your cards were not certified contact the manufacture by phone or go to there website and get the latest drivers for your cards and Install them. Once you get your new drivers installed check to see if they say "Certified: Yes", once they do the game will work properly. - You may need to update your video card drivers in the event you have a problem running Bugs Bunny Lost in Time on your system. Below are the web addresses for the most popular video card manufacturers as well as the companies that produce the chipsets. 3DfX: www.3dfx.com 3D Labs: http://www.3dlabs.com ATI: http://www.atitech.com CANOPUS: http://www.canopuscorp.com CREATIVE LABS: http://www.creativelabs.com DIAMOND MULTIMEDIA: http://www.diamondmm.com ELSA: http://www.elsa.com GUILLEMOT: http://www.guillemot.com HERCULES: http://www.hercules.com INTEL: http://www.intel.com INTERGRAPH: http://www.intergraph.com MATROX: http://www.matrox.com NUMBER NINE: http://www.nine.com NVIDA: http://www.nvidia.com QUANTUM 3D: http://www.quantum3D.com REAL 3D: http://www.real3D.com S3: http://www.s3.com SIS CORPORATION: http://www.sis.com.tw STB: http://www.stb.com -Close all programs- If you have gone through the Troubleshooting steps and your game is still not working properly, this may be the cause of a software conflict. Your system may have one or more utilities running (Virus scanners, Phone answering software, CD ROM utilities, game controller button mappers.) To rule out the possibility of a software conflict, Press the <CTRL>, <ALT>, and <DEL> keys at the same time and "End Task" all applications (Keep Explorer and Systray running) and try running your game again. ------------------------------ 5) Known Bugs ------------------------------ - If the turn the Music is turned off, you will not be able to hear any of the characters talking. You must uninstall and reinstall the game. Do not turn the music all the way off. - The engine should detect correctly your 3D card, but in some cases, the OpenGL hardware acceleration is not detected. Make sure that OpenGL drivers are installed. If the OpenGL driver is installed and the option "Using 3D card" is not available, just find the file "bugs.ini" in the "bin" folder of the game, open it and change the line "CheckGDI=1" for "CheckGDI=0". The game will now work on more cards, but will work too with cards that don't fully accelerate the OpenGL. If you have a FireGL 1000 Pro, you should use this tweak to run in OpenGL mode. - If you have a video card with a "3Dfx" chipset, some of the game menus may look slightly fuzzy. - The default config of the game is 512x384 in full-screen mode. The OpenGL is selected if the graphic card supports graphic acceleration with OpenGL, if not, software high quality renderer is selected on systems with 300MHz or better CPU. On slower systems, software low quality will be selected. You always can change these settings in the game or in the configuration dialog of the autorun. - There is no Gamma control in BBLIT, you must use your video card's gamma utility to adjust the brightness. - The engine supports OpenGL on 3Dfx chipsets through a dll installed with the game, this includes the Voodoo Graphics, Voodoo 2, and Voodoo 3 chipsets. This dll may not work with 3dfx chipsets such as the Voodoo Rush and Banshee. If you own a video card with a Voodoo Rush or Banshee chipset and you know the name of the dll used for OpenGL on your card, simply open the file "bugs.ini" in the "bin" folder of the game and change the line "DLL=0" for "DLL=the name of the dll". Only use this if you're sure of the name of the dll. ------------------------------ 6) Hardware Compatibility ------------------------------ - If you have a video card with a Voodoo 1 chipset, you must get the reference drivers from http://www.3Dfx.com ------------------------------ 7) Reaching Tech Support ------------------------------ Infogrames North America You can ask for help with your Infogrames game by reaching us by Phone, Fax, Online and Mail: PHONE Infogrames can help you by phone between the following hours: Monday - Thursday 8:00am - 5:00pm PST and Friday 9:00am - 5:00pm PST 408.296.8400 INTERNET website: http://www.infogrames.net email: help@infogrames.net FAX Faxes may be sent anytime to: 408.246.0231 Please include your phone number on all faxes.
