- Frequently Asked Questions
- --------------------------
-
- Q1)
- Q. Tomb Raider does not Auto Select my Sound Card. What do I do ?
-
- A. There are some sound cards and system specs which make it
- impossible for us to detect your sound card. In these cases you will
- have to manually select your card. Select the option to
- "Manually Select Card". If you are not sure what settings you should
- use for the DMA and IRQ settings, there are a number of ways to find
- out:
- i. From the DOS prompt, type SET. If your sound card is Sound Blaster
- compatible there should be a system variable called BLASTER.
- This will show your settings.
- ii. If you cannot find this and you have Windows '95 then from the
- Start Button select "Settings", then "Control Panel", then select
- the "System" icon. Select the "Device Manager" tab and double click
- on the word "Computer" [the top item on the list]. From here
- you can see what your DMA and IRQ settings are for your sound card.
- Do not change any settings. Select CANCEL from the various windows
- you have opened and close the Control Panel.
- iii If neither of these methods are suitable, there should be a program
- supplied with your Sound Card which allows you to see what your
- settings are.
-
- Q2)
- Q. My menu screens and SVGA version of the game corrupted, why ?
-
- A. If you find that the SVGA graphics resolution of the game, together
- with some of the menus are incorrectly displayed this is probably due
- to a VESA problem. **Tomb Raider requires a VESA compliant graphics
- card in order to function correctly**.
-
- Q3)
- Q. I can't define all the keys on my GamePads and/or Joysticks. Why not ?
-
- A. Tomb Raider was originally designed to be played with a keyboard on the
- PC. With the increase in popularity of GamePads and Joysticks on the PC
- we have included support for many of these. Please refer to the manual
- for further details. Over the coming weeks, we will be evaluating a
- range of new GamePads and Joysticks and if the demand is there, we'll
- release a small patch to accomodate them. Keep an eye out on the
- WWW.TOMBRAIDER.COM web site.
-
- Q4)
- Q. I set up a User Keys definition, and now I want to use the default
- keys, some of the default keys don't seem to work. Why?
-
- A. There are two keyboard layout screens, the Default Keys and the User
- Keys. If a key is defined as two different things, ie CTRL=Action on
- the Default setup and as Roll on the User set up the User set up will
- take priority.
- To restore to the default options, you may either define the User Keys
- to be those of the Default Keys, or select keys for the User Keys setup
- that are not defined in the Default Keys setup.
-
- Q5)
- Q. Can I stop the Windows '95 Hot Keys and/or the Screen Saver from working?
-
- A. Yes. Right Click on the file name TOMB.EXE. Select Properties. Click on
- the tab called "Misc". Clear the checks in the Allow screen saver box
- and in the Windows shortcut keys area. Please note: This is performed
- automatically in the full version of the game.
-
- Note: If the frame rate seems too slow, you can switch from high resolution to
- low resolution (F1), decrease the screen size (F2), or lower the detail
- level (pause menu).
