Sonic the Hedgehog (TM) CD
Version 1.0
Copyright (C) SEGA ENTERPRISES,LTD. 1993, 1996 All Rights Reserved.
----------------------
AUTOMATIC GAME STARTUP
----------------------
If your Sonic the Hedgehog (TM) CD game does not automatically start when
you insert the CD-ROM, it may be because the Windows (R) 95 operating
system has not enabled your CD-ROM drive for AutoPlay operation.
To enable your CD-ROM drive for AutoPlay:
1. Click the Start button, and then point to Settings.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Double-click the System icon.
4. Click the Device Manager tab in the System Properties window.
5. Click the + symbol to the left of the CD-ROM drive icon.
6. Click the CD-ROM drive you want to enable for AutoPlay, and
then click the Properties button.
7. Click the Settings tab.
8. Click the Auto insert notification check box, and verify that
a check mark displays.
9. Click OK.
10. Click OK in the System Properties windows.
----------------------------------------------------
SWITCHING GAME PLAY BETWEEN A WINDOW AND FULL SCREEN
----------------------------------------------------
Remember that you can always switch game play between a small active
window and a full screen display. To change game viewing modes, press F4
or select Full Screen under the Options menu. (If the menu bar is not
visible, press F5).
Always use F4 to return to the active window view from a Full Screen game
(the menu bar never appears in a Full Screen display).
--------------------------
AUDIO CD PLAY APPLICATIONS
--------------------------
If your system has more than one CD-ROM drive and you decide to play the
game using a CD-ROM drive that is now playing audio CDs, be sure to close
all applications that use that CD-ROM drive to play audio CDs.
Otherwise, you will not hear the game's background music and the system may
display an MMSYSTEM ERROR message. Other game play actions are not
affected.
----------------------
PICTURES IN SONIC HELP
----------------------
If you use complex color pictures for your desktop background, the colors of
some pictures in the Sonic Help may not display correctly. You can correct
this by using a desktop background that has only one color when you view
help.
-----------
GAME PAUSES
-----------
Slight pauses may occur during game play. These pauses usually occur when
the game changes background music and are caused by the CD-ROM as it moves
to the new track. It is not an audio or video problem.
----------------
NUMBER OF COLORS
----------------
The Sonic the Hedgehog CD requires that your monitor be set to display
256 colors before you begin game play. For information about setting the
number of colors your monitor will display, see the Windows help file.
While playing the Sonic the Hedgehog CD, do not change the display
properties color settings, screen resolution, or the video display driver.
Otherwise, error messages may start displaying.
Color shifting may occur during game play if any program that uses many
colors is also running during game play. To eliminate this possibility,
exit these programs before starting the Sonic the Hedgehog CD.
----------------------------
MINIMIZING GAME CAUSES PAUSE
----------------------------
If you minimize the Sonic the Hedgehog CD window while playing an active
game, the game automatically pauses. When you restore the game window,
the game resumes play from where you left off.
If you pause the Sonic the Hedgehog CD game and then minimize the game
window, the game will come up paused when you restore the game window.
To resume game play, press F3 or select Pause Game on the Game menu.
------------------------
INTERACTION WITH FLEXICD
------------------------
If FlexiCD is installed on your computer and you restart it with the
Sonic the Hedgehog CD in the CD-ROM drive, the audio tracks on the CD may
begin playing automatically even though the game is not running.
To eliminate this condition:
1. Use Windows Explorer and right-click the file:
C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\FlexiCD
2. Select Properties.
3. Click the Shortcut tab of the property sheet.
4. In the Target box, change
C:\Windows\FlexiCD.exe /resume
to
C:\Windows\FlexiCD.exe /play
5. Click the OK button.
6. Restart your computer.
-------------
SCREEN SAVERS
-------------
While playing the Sonic the Hedgehog CD, the Screen Saver feature is
disabled. However, when you pause or minimize the game and choose a
different active window, the Screen Saver feature is again enabled.
--------------------------
NEW GAME CHOICE DISAPPEARS
--------------------------
The New Game choice on the title screen disappears when all the Saved Games
Data-File positions are in use. When this happens you must delete one of
the Saved Games before you can start a new game. For information about
deleting a Saved Game, see the "Saved Game, Deleting" index entry in
Sonic Help.
---------
FAX/MODEM
---------
Some FAX/Modem software has been observed to have problems transmitting
and receiving a FAX over five pages in length while playing the Sonic
the Hedgehog CD. If you experience modem problems during game play, try
pausing or minimizing the active game during incoming and outgoing FAX
messages.
-------------------------
DISAPPEARING MOUSE CURSOR
-------------------------
With certain graphic adapters, it has been observed that the mouse
cursor does not immediately appear after exiting Sonic the Hedgehog CD
from a full screen display. The cursor will return once you move the
mouse. To prevent this problem, press the F4 key to return to the
small window before exiting the game.
