This demo includes one complete set of questions from the Alpha Quadrant section of the game, which also features one Red Alert video question.

Included on the complete version of Star Trek the Game Show are four different sections; Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta Quadrants, with over 800 questions for the discerning Trek afficionado.

The Alpha Quadrant

Welcome to the Alpha Quadrant, the quintessential game show round, complete with a spinning wheel and a healthy dose of nostalgia and camp.

There are seven multiple-choice questions in this round, each based on the topic of Crew or Personnel and falling into one of the following seven categories:

·	Captain

·	First Officer

·	Engineering

·	Medical

·	Security/Navigation

·	Helm/Sciences

·	Miscellany

Following each question, hit the buzzer key (spacebar) and you will be granted the opportunity to choose your answer.  Select your answer from the multiple choice solutions lettered A through E by hitting the corresponding key (A, B, C, D or E).

The point value of each question is assigned randomly, based on the difficulty of the question.  If you answer incorrectly, there is no penalty.  Simply move on to the next question.

NOTE:Watch for the Red Alert video question. The buzzer key is not used here; just hit the answer key (A, B, C, or D)

Troubleshooting

Before calling technical support, make sure that your computer meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements for the game.  The system requirements can be found in the game manual or on the game box.  If you are not sure if your computer meets the minimum system requirements, please contact your computer manufacturer or your computer vendor for this information, as this is needed before trouble-shooting the game.

Most problems may be categorized into one of six groups:

·	Install

·	Audio

·	Video/Display

·	Lock-ups

·	Program Error Messages

·	Performance Problems

Please refer to the following section that best describes the difficulty.

Install

If the game stalls or aborts during the installation process, make sure that the CD is free from all smudges and scratches.  If the disk is clean and you are still experiencing problems with the install, make sure that all background tasks and applications have been closed before trying again.

If you receive a message that states that the destination drive may be full, please check the available hard drive space and ensure that you are not attempting to install the program to your CD-ROM drive.  If you are attempting to install to a drive that is full, it will be necessary to free up space by deleting any unnecessary programs or files that exist on the drive.

Audio

Difficulties with sound can be caused by a number of factors.  First off, be sure that the speaker cables are firmly inserted into the sound output jack.  If this has been checked and you are still not getting any sound from the game, be sure that the latest sound drivers are installed for your sound card.  These sound drivers are designed by the manufacturer specifically for your sound card and may correct the difficulty you are having.

Video / Display

Problems with the video are often the result of an incompatible display driver.  Flickering video, distorted colors or a black screen are all symptoms of an incompatible display driver.  Often, changing or updating the display driver in use may correct the problem.  Before changing the display driver, be sure to consult your video card manufacturer for any updates or new drivers that might be available.  These display drivers are designed specifically for your video card and may resolve the difficulty you are having

Lock-ups

If the game seems to lock-up consistently in one spot or area, make sure that the CD is free from all smudges and scratches.  If the game seems to lock-up randomly or locks-up with an error message, this may be the result of insufficient memory or because another application is running in the background.

Program Error Messages

Program Error Messages are most often caused by one of two problems:

1.   Problematic video drivers. - See the section above labeled Video for tips

      dealing with this area.

2.   The software is not properly installed.

Performance Problems

Star Trek the Game Show performs well in the appropriate conditions.  If you are experiencing performance problems, please note the following details:

1.   Make sure your system meets the minimum system requirements specified in the

      “Installation” section of the manual.

2.   Star Trek the Game Show requires a 486/66 processor and 8MB of memory or a

       Macintosh 68040-33 with 12MB of memory, depending upon which platform you are

       utilizing. 16 MB of memory is recommended. A faster processor and additional

       memory will increase performance.

3.   Star Trek The Game Show should be run in 16-bit High Color mode.
