  [3] TROUBLE SHOOTING :

  PROBLEM  : Static noise while sound is being played.
  SOLUTION : If you are using a 16 bit sound card your high DMA channel
             may be the cause. Try choosing SOUND BLASTER in the setup
             program with a low DMA channel (0-3).

  PROBLEM  : Problem when trying to run in HiRes or HiColor modes.
  SOLUTION : Try running UVCONFIG.EXE before loading the game. 

  PROBLEM  : Game aborts unexpectedly while loading.
  SOLUTION : Free some more memory (maybe decrease SmartDrv cache area).
