WINDOWS 95 TROUBLESHOOTING Important Note: Please read this section before proceeding with Windows 95 game installations. 1 8 Modern Windows 95 games use Microsoft DirectX for Windows 95. DirectX increases the speed at which games run under the Windows 95 environment by allowing instant access to your PC hardware. Unfortunately not all hardware manufacturers have adapted their products to run with DirectX. However, the majority of manufacturers are releasing driver updates to bring them in line with DirectX requirements. DIRECTX SET-UP Most games will ask the user if they want to install/update DirectX when they are installing the game, though DirectX can be installed independently of the game installation by running the dxsetup. exe file located in the DirectX folder on the CD. If you are unable to find the folder, then use the Find option located under the Start Menu and search the CD for the dxsetup. exe file. When the dxsetup. exe is run, you will be presented with a list of drivers that are supported by DirectX. If the third column displays any message other than certified then there may be a problem. There is an exception to this rule in that some hardware manufacturers produce their own DirectX drivers, which can be found on the relevant hardware CD/Disks. BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS DISPLAYED FROM THE DIRECTX SET-UP: Blank with no driver version listed: The performance of this device is unknown. It is recommended that you check with your hardware supplier for any updated drivers that may be available. When this result is displayed the game may not function correctly. Blank with driver version listed: The hardware device is considered DirectX compatible but the necessary drivers are not included with this version of DirectX. Usually this result will allow the game to function normally, but if problems do arise then contact your hardware supplier for a new driver update. Set-up detected drivers that have not been tested with DirectX. To get the best game performance, Set-up can replace your existing drivers. [. . . ] To run the game through Windows 95 you need to adjust the Program Information File (PIF). This is the file Windows reads in order to gain the correct information on the settings the game requires, i. e. memory settings, sound card functions, CD-ROM drivers. You can see an example of PIF files in the Windows folder. [. . . ]
