---- GENERAL TIPS ----------------------------------------------
INSTALL DIRECTX
Redjack needs Microsoft's DirectX Version 3.0 or greater to operate
in Windows 95, but we do not automatically install this software
for you. This is because DirectX replaces your sound and video
drivers with the most current versions, and this could potentially
cause problems on some machines, see the note on removing DirectX
below. Many computers already have DirectX, so you probably will
not need to install it unless Redjack doesn't work.
If you would like to install DirectX, Version 5 has been provided
on Redjack Disc 1. To install, double click on the icon "My Computer"
in the upper left of your screen. Right click on your Redjack CD
entitled "RJDisk1" and choose the option "Open" from the pop-up menu.
Open the folder "DirectX", and again the folder "DirectX" inside of
that. Locate the "dxsetup.exe" program, run it, and follow the
on-screen instructions.
CHECK YOUR HARD DISK
Redjack requires 65 MB of local hard disk space for installation.
The game will also take advantage of up to 250 MB of additional space
for temporary usage. Having this space available on your hard disk
ensures that Redjack will run as fast as possible and with the most
detailed graphics.
Hard disks can become corrupted or fragmented for a variety of reasons.
If you are experiencing problems when Redjack is installed or during
gameplay when files are copied to your hard disk we recommend using a
commercial hard disk utility to verify and defragment your disk.
ADJUST YOUR COLOR PALETTE
Your computer may run Redjack faster in "High Color" mode, but "True
Color" will look better. To adjust this before playing, right click
your desktop and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu that
appears, then choose the "Settings" tab. Select "High Color" or "True
Color" from the "Color Palette" menu, sometimes these items are
referred to as "16 Bit Color" or "32 Bit Color." Then run RedJack.
The color palette can also be adjusted inside the game by hitting the
spacebar to bring up the control panel and then clicking the "More"
button in the lower right.
ADJUST YOUR SCREEN BRIGHTNESS
Your screen may have a brightness control that needs to be adjusted.
Also, holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the "+" or "-" keys will
adjust brightness during the game with software as needed.
CHECK YOUR EXTERNAL SPEAKERS
Redjack sounds great with a good pair of external speakers or
headphones. For quieter play turn on "Subtitles." Simply hit the
spacebar to bring up the control panel and then click the "More"
button in the lower right.
---- KNOWN PROBLEMS -------------------------------------------
CONFLICTS WITH SOME SCREEN SAVERS
If you have a screen saver installed, we recommend you disable
it before playing Redjack. Some screen savers can cause the
screen to be erased and not repainted correctly, and other
screen savers that play sounds can cause Redjack to crash.
DIRECTX REPLACES YOUR DISPLAY DRIVERS
If DirectX replaced your display drivers and you want them
back, you can restore them by choosing Add/Remove Programs in
the Control Panel, then removing "DirectX Drivers." See the
installation guide for more information.
SET YOUR DESKTOP AREA TO 640 x 480
Sometimes Redjack cannot start up unless your Desktop Area has
been set to 640 X 480. To do this, right click on your desktop
and select "Properties" from the pop-up menu that appears, then
choose the "Settings" tab. Drag the "Desktop Area" slider all the
way to the left, then start Redjack.
TURN ON HARDWARE ACCELERATION
Be sure that Hardware Acceleration is turned on. From the "Start"
menu, select "Settings" and then "Control Panel." Select the "System"
icon, and then choose the "Performance" tab. Under "Advanced Settings"
click the "Graphics" button. Drag the "Hardware Acceleration" slider
all the way to the right if it is not there already.
