    NOTE ABOUT DRIVERS FOR ATI RADEON MOBILITY CARDS

         There are many notebook manufacturers who do not provide updated
         graphics card drivers. If you have a recent ATI Radeon card and 
         can't find any official drivers, try www.omegadrivers.net

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------    
    DIRECTX™

         DirectX™ 9.0c is included on the game CD.

         DirectX™ from Microsoft® is part of the Windows operating system
         used by developers to allow games to take full advantage of your
         computers hardware. 

         The Three Musketeers requires that DirectX™ 8.1 or a newer version
         is installed on your computer.

         For more information on DirectX™, go to www.microsoft.com/directx

    PERFORMANCE TIPS

         The LAUNCHER WINDOW appears everytime you run the game. Here you
         can change many graphical settings that affects the speed and
         visual quality of the game.

    SCREEN RESOLUTION

         Decreasing the screen resolution to 640x480 increases framerate
         dramatically on older PC hardware. 

         Additional options can be found on the ADVANCED SETTINGS page.
         You may experiment with these in order to achieve maximum
         performance and graphical quality.

    HARDWARE 3D / SOFTWARE 3D

         For the best game experience, we recommend to run the game in 
         HARDWARE 3D mode. If you have an older PC, HARDWARE 3D mode may
         not work correcly, in which case you must run the game in
         SOFTWARE 3D (the game runs on almost any PC in SOFTWARE 3D mode).

    FULLSCREEN / WINDOWED

         Running the game in FULLSCREEN mode normally results in the best
         performance and graphical quality. For widescreen displays (as 
         featured in modern laptop computers), WINDOWED mode is usually
         preferable to avoid a stretched image.

    TEXTURE QUALITY

         Graphics cards with low amounts of RAM may benefit from decreasing
         the TEXTURE QUALITY. Suggested settings;

         HIGH QUALITY   - graphics cards with 64+ MB RAM
         MEDIUM QUALITY - graphics cards with 32+ MB RAM
         LOW QUALITY    - graphics cards with 8-32 MB RAM

    TOON INKING

         Disabling TOON INKING may dramatically increase speed for certain
         graphics cards that render anti-aliased (AA) lines very slowly. 

    DYNAMIC SHADOWS

         This feature is dependant on the speed of your CPU and should be the
         option of choice to disable in order to increase framerate. 
         Note that most integrated graphic cards do not provide enough
         fillrate to handle DYNAMIC SHADOWS efficiently.

    MONITOR V-SYNC

         This option ensures a tear-free and stable framerate, but may
         decrease overall performance on older graphics cards.

    ANISOTROPIC TEXTURE FILTERING

         If your graphics card supports ANISOTROPIC TEXTURES, enabling this
         options will make the game look sharper.

    FULL 32 BIT COLOR

         In FULLSCREEN mode, the FULL 32 BIT COLOR option provides rich and
         vivid colors. In WINDOWED MODE, the game uses the colour mode of
         your Windows desktop. For certain graphic cards, enabling 32 BIT
         COLOR may be required in order for shadows to display correctly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TROUBLESHOOTING

        • Always, always, always ensure that you have a minimum of programs
          running in the background. We recommend you shut down all other 
          applications before running the game (in particular, chat, 
          messenger, and e-mail software may cause problems).

        • You may also need to disable anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall
          software (some of these could prevent the game from starting).

        • Many technical problems can be solved simply by updating your
          graphics and sound card drivers (drivers are usually available
          from your hardware manufacturer’s website).
