For installation of game "Gromada" it is required approximately 
120 megabytes of free hard disk space.

Windows 95®, Virtual Memory, and Hard Disk Space:

The Windows operating system requires a certain amount of virtual memory to
function properly. The amount of virtual memory required by Windows varies
depending on how much of your computer's resources are required by an
application. As a general rule of thumb, you should keep enough free hard disk
space equal to the larger of: two times the total amount of RAM your computer
has; or, 10% of the space on the hard drive with Windows.

Troubleshooting

INSTALLATION 

Problem:
The CD is in the CD-ROM drive, but the computer is not recognizing it.
Answer:
The CD may be dirty or scratched.
Solution:
Make sure that the data side of the CD is not dirty or scratched. If it is
dirty, take a lint free non-abrasive cloth and wipe gently to clean it
(always wipe from the inside of the CD to the outside edges). If the data side
of the CD appears to be scratched, return the game to the store that you
bought it from, and exchange it for a new copy. If you are unable to exchange
the game at the store that you bought it from, please call Customer Support
for information on our exchange policy.

Problem:
The computer freezes during install, or you receive an error message (such as
"*_ins error" or "An error has occurred during the move data process") during
install.
Answer:
Your computer may be using an older 16-bit CD-ROM driver; or there may not be
enough space on your hard drive for temporary files to expand; or the CD-ROM
drive might be having problems with how it buffers information. Or, the
Autorun or DMA settings on your CD-ROM drive could be interfering with the
game installation.

To check and see if your computer is using an older 16-bit CD-ROM driver:
1. Right-click on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Properties'.
2. Click on the 'Performance' tab.
3. In the Performance status box, if the File System line says "Some drivers
are using MS-DOS compatibility", you are using a 16-bit CD-ROM driver.
Solution:
1. For 16-bit CD-ROM drivers: Contact the manufacturer of your CD-ROM drive
or the manufacturer of your computer for an updated 32-bit CD-ROM driver.

2. For 32-bit CD-ROM drivers:
        1. Close all unnecessary programs running in the Background.  Press
	the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys at the same time to open the Close Program
	window, select a program, and press the End Task button.

        2. Delete all files in your C:\Windows\Temp folder, then empty the
	Recycle Bin.

3. Turn off read-ahead on the CD-ROM drive:
        1. Right-click on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Properties'.
        2. Click on the 'Performance' tab.
        3. Click on the 'File System' button.
        4. Choose the 'CD-ROM' tab at the top.
        5. Change the 'Optimize access pattern for' field to 'No read-ahead' 
        6. Click on Apply, then OK and finally click Close (you will be
	prompted to restart your system).

4. Turn off the Autorun and DMA settings on your CD-ROM drive:
        1. Right click on the 'My Computer' icon and choose 'Properties'.
        2. Click on the 'Device Manager' tab.
        3. Click on the '+' sign next to the CD-ROM line so that it becomes
	a '-' sign.
        4. Click on the line that appears under the CD-ROM line so that it
	is highlighted, then click on the 'Properties' button.
        5. Click on the 'Settings' tab.
        6. Look for the Auto-insert Notification and DMA lines. If there is
	a check mark in the boxes next to either of these lines, click on
	the box to remove the check mark.
        7. Click on the 'Apply' button, and then click on the 'OK' button.
        8. When you are asked if you want to restart your system, choose 'Yes'.

You can restore all of the CD-ROM settings back to normal after the game has
been successfully installed.

LAUNCHING THE GAME I

Problem:
After launching the game from the Start menu or Desktop icon, you get a
blank screen, a black box that surrounds the mouse cursor, blurring or
choppy graphics, vertical lines on the screen, choppy sound, or no sound.
Answer:
There is probably a conflict between your video or sound card and
Microsoft's DirectX.
Solution:
For Windows 95 and 98 users:
1. Press the 'Start' button on the Windows 95/98-task bar and select 'Run'.
2. Type "c:\Program Files\directx\setup\dxdiag.exe" then click on the 'OK'
button.
3. Make sure all your files are DirectX 6 compatible. Select the 'DirectX
Files' tab make sure there are no exclamation points next to the file 
names. If you find exclamation points under this tab you will need to 
reinstall DirectX 6 by going to the 'START' Button on the Windows95 task
bar then select 'RUN' and type your CD-ROM drive letter followed by
": \DirectX\dxsetup.exe" and click on the 'Reinstall DirectX' button. This
will reinstall DirectX 6.
4. Make sure all of your drivers are DirectX 6 compatible. Select the 
'DirectX Drivers' tab and make sure there are no exclamation points next
to any of the file names.  If you find exclamation points under this tab
you will need to update your drivers by contacting the manufacturer of the
hardware.
5. Test your hardware with the DirectX 6 Diagnostics tool. Run the tests 
that are available on the 'Display', 'Sound', and 'Input' tabs. If one or
more tests fail, this could be due to driver incompatibility. Installing
the newest drivers available for your sound and video card hardware can
usually resolve this.

For Windows 98 users:
1. Press the Start button on the Windows 98 task bar and select 'Help'.
2. Select the Search tab, type 'DirectX Troubleshooter' in the text box, 
and then press the List Topics button.  Select 'DirectX Troubleshooter'
in the Topics window, click the Display Button, and then follow the 
instructions to troubleshoot your DirectX issue.

LAUNCHING THE GAME II

Problem:
You try to start the game and the screen flashes briefly, and you are
returned to the desktop without an error message.
Answer:
There are probably miscellaneous programs running in the background
that are interfering with the game and causing it to crash.
Solution:
For Windows 95 users:
1. Press the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys at the same time to open the Close
Program window.
2. Click on a program so that it is highlighted, then click on the 'End 
Task' button.
3. Repeat this process until only 'Explorer' and 'Systray' are left in 
the Close Program list.

For Windows 98 users:
1. Click on the Windows Start button, then choose Run.
2. In the Run line type in: "msconfig", then push the 'Enter' key. This 
will bring up the System Configuration Utility.
3. Select the 'Startup' tab, and turn all of the check boxes off, except 
for the one next to 'Systray'.
4. Press 'OK'. When you are prompted to restart your system, click 'Yes'.
5. Once your machine has restarted try running the program again.

Video and Sound card manufacturers regularly update their software 
drivers to enhance performance and stability, and to improve 
compatibility with DirectX.

You may obtain a list of Microsoft-certified video and audio drivers for 
your hardware by going to http://www.microsoft.com/hwtest/hcl/.  Drivers 
listed here are confirmed to be compatibility with Windows 95, Windows 98
and Windows NT4.0.

Microsoft updates DirectX and its components regularly and posts them for
download off of their web site at http://www.microsoft.com/DirectX.
