- NOTE 1:
-
- This program is written in Visual Basic. Thus it needs the
- VBRUN100.DLL (which is included) to run. If you got your copy
- from an online service or bulletin board take note:
- Some BBS Sysops remove the VBRUN100.DLL file from Windows
- programs that use it in order to save disk drive space.
- If you are missing the VBRUN100.DLL file, log back on to
- the service or BBS it came from, and, if you can't easily
- find the VBRUN file, leave a comment to your Sysop asking
- how he/she allows people to acquire it.
-
- NOTE 2:
-
- There is a Windows setup program included. To run the setup
- program from DOS, be sure you are in the directory in which
- the World Empire II files reside. Then type "EMPIREII" and hit
- enter. A batch file will run WIndows and execute the setup
- program for you, creating a Program Group and an Empire
- icon.
-
- To run the setup from Windows, use the File Manager to locate
- the directory where your World Empire II files are, then find the
- file SETUP.EXE and double-click on it or select 'Run" from the
- File Manager's "File Menu" after highlighting the file.
-
- NOTE 3:
-
- It has come to my attention that certain SVGA video hardware
- is non-compatible with the MicroSoft Visual Basic Environment and
- causes problems every so often in 800 x 600 mode and more often in
- 1024 x 768 resolution. Buttons will be misplaced in relation to
- maps, etc. At the moment there is one solution:
- Open the Windows Setup icon and select CHANGE SYSTEM SETTINGS
- from the OPTIONS menu. Follow the prompts to change your
- video mode to a 640 x 480 resolution driver. The game will
- now run fine. When you're finished, return to Setup and
- re-install your original driver.
- This is a patch, of course, but rest assured the problem
- will be addressed in the next version of World Empire II,
- version 2.1. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
-
-
- Happy conquering!
