- TROUBLESHOOTING
- If you have a computer with two or more CD-ROM drives, you should only run the game
- from the drive that you used to install the program.
-
- If you are using an Aptiva(TM) machine equipped with the MWAVE sound card and you
- cannot run the program, please contact IBM to receive the PHATFIX.EXE MWAVE sound card
- patch for Sierra(TM) games.
-
- If you are experiencing graphic problems:
-
- 1) Eat My Dust uses Microsoft DirectX version 2. Please contact your video card
- manufacturer for the newest video driver that supports DirectX version 2.
-
- 2) Close all windows, toolbars, and background utilities (i.e. WC Clock).
-
- 3) Set the number of colors to be displayed to 256. Some color cards (especially
- Cirrus Logic or Trident video cards) may require colors to be set at 65,536;
- 65,535; 64K; or 65K, depending on the vendor. (Refer to your Windows guide on
- Running the Setup Program or Setting Up Windows.) If you still encounter a
- problem, try changing your video configuration to Microsoft's generic SVGA
- 640x480 256-color mode.
-
- NOTE: For your convenience, a list of video card manufacturers can be found under
- "Support" on the Sierra install menu.

- DRIVING HINTS
- If you get stuck in a wall or on an object, use the Reverse function to back out,
- then continue driving.
-
- If you get lost off track or cannot free your car from an object using Reverse, hit
- the "Home" key on your keyboard; this returns your car to the Start line but erases
- all the laps you have completed so far. Your opponents will not be returned to Start
- and will not lose laps. Use "Home" for emergencies only.
