[3] TROUBLE SHOOTING : PROBLEM : Static noise while sound is being played. SOLUTION : If you are using a 16 bit sound card your high DMA channel may be the cause. Try choosing SOUND BLASTER in the setup program with a low DMA channel (0-3). PROBLEM : Problem when trying to run in HiRes or HiColor modes. SOLUTION : Try running UVCONFIG.EXE before loading the game. PROBLEM : Game aborts unexpectedly while loading. SOLUTION : Free some more memory (maybe decrease SmartDrv cache area).
