PC GAMER NOVEMBER 1998 CD README FILE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTX 5.2
If you try playing a demo, and you receive the error message, "Cannot find DINPUT.DLL,"
it means you need to install the latest version of DirectX. Currently, it's version 5.2.
You can do this by choosing to install DirectX 5.0 through our front end, or install it
manually by running the DXSETUP.EXE file in the \DIRECTX directory on The CD. Also, pay
attention to the requirement boxes for each demo in the Disc Pages. It will list whether
or not the demo requires DirectX. Remember, folks, READ THE DISC PAGES! That's what
they're there for!
MESSED UP PALETTE OR STRANGE COLORS
The front end is created to run under 256 colors, but not all palettes are created
equal. If you see distorted colors or otherwise ugly graphics, change your color
depth to 16-bit color. You can do this under the Control Panel, Display. Choose the
Settings tab, and under Color Palette, select High Color (16-bit).
