[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).
