- ------------------
-
- To ensure trouble-free operation and optimum performance, check to make sure that
- your graphics card and sound card are equipped with the latest available drivers.
- Visit the manufacturerÆs web sites to find out about updates.
-
- When you install the game, the version of DirectX on your computer may be upgraded
- to version 8.0a. In this case, you will be asked to reboot your computer once
- installation is complete. Installation of DirectX 8.0a is recommended to play
- Syberia.
-
- Note: It is STRONGLY recommended not to use the ALT-TAB key combination or any another
- combinations that switch Windows applications. Doing so could result in corrupted
- background images or disappearing characters. To restore the game, simply save your
- current location, quit and restart Syberia, then load your game.

-
- 4. Game Saves Directory
- -----------------------
-
- The "Syberia Demo Saves" directory contains saved games (.SAV files) and game
- options (the Config.dat file). In Windows 95, 98 and ME, "Syberia Demo Saves" is
- located in the game's installation directory.
-
- In Windows 2000 and XP each user has his or her own "My Documents." The directory
- is therefore located in the "My Documents" of the user. Consequently, in Windows
- 2000 and XP, each user will only see his or her own saved games.

- will have various display problems. We recommend that you leave this option
- disabled.
-
