Welcome to Software of the Month Club!
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If you encounter problems while, running software from within our installation
program (START.EXE), quitting the START.EXE program may solve your problems.
This is especially true when trying to launch game programs.
Some programs will try to write back to the CD-ROM. Because the CD-ROM is
READ ONLY, Errors may occur, To avoid this problem you may have to copy the
program to your local hard disk prior to use.
Windows 3.1x and Windows 95 users
If you are a Windows user, use STARTWIN.EXE
WINDOWS TROUBLESHOOTING:
If your are unable to run STARTWIN program, refer to the SETDRV program.
SETDRV will install or update any required files on your system. You
will find SETDRV where you found STARTWIN, on the root of the SOMC
CD-ROM.
Follow the same commands used to load STARTWIN using the run function.
Instead of typing D:STARTWIN use D:SETDRV. Replace D: with your
CD-ROM drive letter. After running and/or restarting Windows,
follow the instructions for executing the STARTWIN program again.
