- (English Version)
-
- Windows 95
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- Because Grand Prix 2 was designed and developed to run under MS-DOS
- you may experience problems running under Windows 95. To achieve
- optimal frame rate and performance levels, it is recommended that
- you reboot your system in MS-DOS mode.
-
- NB: It is important to ensure all necessary CD-ROM and Soundcard
- drivers are loaded before attempting to run Grand Prix 2; failure to
- do so may result in the game failing to load. If you are unsure
- as to how to do this, or if your machine came with Windows 95
- pre-installed, please consult the technical documents contained in
- the UTILS directory of this CD-ROM, or seek further advice from your
- hardware manufacturer.
-
- Windows 95 - AutoPlay
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Some Windows 95 machines do not support AutoPlay. In this instance
- you will need to double-click on the icon for your CD-ROM drive
- (usually D:) to install the game.
-
- Windows 95 Keyboards
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- On certain video cards Windows 95 is unable to restore certain DOS
- based graphical applications such as Grand Prix 2. This is
- particularly a problem with regards to the new Windows 95 keyboards
- containing the 'Start' and 'Windows' keys. On pressing these
- keys Windows suspends Grand Prix 2 to bring up a menu but is
- then unable to restore it. The only solution to this problem is to
- run the simulation in MS-DOS mode.
-
- Windows 95 Floppy Disk Drives
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When running under Windows 95, the game assumes that the floppy disk
- drive will always be labelled A:. Windows 95 users wishing to save
- game files to floppy must ensure that their floppy drive is logged on
- as A: and not B: or similar.
-
- Microsoft Plus
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- To prevent problems whilst running Grand Prix 2, the System Agent
- should be disabled.
-
- Auto-Detect
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you experience problems with the auto-detect program, please
- follow the steps listed below:
-
- 1. Manually select your soundcard and then enter the correct Port,
- DMA and IRQ settings. If you are unsure as to what these are, try
- typing SET from the DOS prompt or consult your hardware manuals.
-
- 2. Run the detection/sound process in MS-DOS mode.
-
- Sound Galaxy Pro
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The auto-detect program can sometimes wrongly identify this card as
- a SoundBlaster 16. Users must manually select SoundBlaster and then
- enter the correct Port, IRQ and DMA settings.
-
- Gravis Ultrasound
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The playback quality of the sound test sample may sound garbled.
- This should not affect playback quality during the game.
-
- ATI Stereo F/X
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Grand Prix 2 is not compatible with this make of soundcard. Users
- should select NO SOUND.
-
- Joystick Control
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You can switch joystick control in the menus on and off with
- Control+J. This is particularly useful if you change the make
- of joystick connected to the machine as the calibration
- information will then be put out of step with the actual
- joystick. Typical symptoms of this are the red highlight
- sticking at the top of a menu.
