- Windows 95 Users
- ----------------
-
- To ensure that Alien Trilogy runs correctly on your particular set
- up, we advise you to run WTRILOGY.EXE as this should help to make the
- game run smoothly. You may find, however, that in some rare
- occaisions the movies do not play correctly.
-

-
- Troubleshooting
- ---------------
-
- Spacetec 360 users
- ------------------
-
- You must run SPWTRIL.EXE to use the Spacetec 360 with Alien Trilogy.
-

-
- VFX-1 Headgear
- --------------
-
- Please note that this hardware will only work in 256 color mode.
-
- Ensure that you have properly calibrated your VFX-1 before playing
- the game.
-
- Memory
- ------
-
- If you find that you are getting out of memory errors while running
- Alien Trilogy or movies, try some of the following:
-
- 1) Before running Alien Trilogy type SET DOS4GVM=TRILOGY.VMC (See
- below)
- 2) Installing the program to run in 256 colours.
- 3) Booting from a clean floppy disk.
- 4) Removing memory resident programs.
-
- -=-
-
- TRILOGY.VMC
- -----------
-
- You may need to edit this to get Trilogy to work on your system. The
- PhysMin is the amount of memory Trilogy requires. PhysMax is the
- amount of memory FREE on your system. We suggest you increase PhysMax
- until the program runs with the movies.
-
- -=-
-
- Video Cards
- -----------
-
- On some portable and laptop PCs you may find that your video set up
- will only run Alien trilogy in 256 colors.
-
- -=-
-
- Alien Trilogy tries to work out your computer configuration in order
- to provide the best possible gameplay. On some rare occaisions,
- however, it may experience problems assessing your video set up
- and not initialize your card correctly. If you find this is the case,
- type:
-
- TRILOGY -nvd
-
- and the program will run in default VESA video modes.
-
- -=-
-
- If you cannot get Alien Trilogy to work in high color mode, try
- installing for 256 colors.
-
- Check out our websites for any patches.

- Installation Notes
- ------------------
-
- During installation, a file called TRILOGY.BAT is placed in the root
- of your C: drive (C:\TRILOGY.BAT). This file will not only execute
- Alien Trilogy for you but is used by some programs to locate the game
- on your system and indicate that a successful installation has taken
- place.
-
- Removing this file will not stop you from playing the game but may
- make some periperhal programs believe that Alien Trilogy is not
- installed.
-

-
-
- In-game speech
- --------------
-
- The speech samples are only available if you have enough memory available.
- If you do not, see MEMORY above.
-
- -=-
-
- Windows 95 and Gravis Pad
- --------------------------
-
- If you have installed your Gravis Pad Windows 95 drivers, Alien
- Trilogy may not detect you have this hardware connected to your
- system. Run the disable utility that comes with your pad and Alien
- Trilogy will work correctly when you enter the Options screen.
-
- -=-
-
- We hope you enjoy the game.
