Known Issues/Problems:
 
**************
Configuration:
**************
 
Sound loss: Repeatedly changing between full-screen and windowed
   mode may result in sound loss when running under Windows 95 or the
   OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2) version of Windows 95 and using some
   models of sound card from Turtle Beach (the S3 Sonic Vibes chipset)
   or Yamaha (the OPL3x chipset). Restarting/rebooting the computer
   resolves the problem.
 
Garbled sound: Audio may sporadically sound garbled when playing under
   Windows NT 4.0.
 
Tinny sound: Audio may sound tinny and/or choppy with the Turtle Beach
   Montego sound card (S3 Sonic Vibes chipset). Upgrading the drivers may
   correct the problem.
 
Full-screen: Under Windows 95 or OSR-2, video cards based on the
   Rendition Verite 1000 chipset may have trouble attaining full-screen
   mode. Upgrading the drivers and/or video BIOS may correct the issue.
 
Full-screen with flickering background: Under Windows 95 or OSR2,
   some video cards based on the S3 ViRGE/GX chipset may display the
   black background in full-screen as flickering white. Upgrading the
   card's display drivers should correct this problem.
 
Extreme performance problems: If you use a system with an ISA-based
   video card, you may experience extreme performance problems. Using a
   PCI-based video adapter should remedy the problem.
 
Part of the game window not visible: When playing in 2x window mode
   at a 640 x 480 resolution, a significant portion of the game window
   will not be visible. When you play in 2x window mode at a 800 x 600
   monitor resolution, a smaller portion of the game window will not be
   visible, although the entire playing field will fit on the screen.
 
Color palette problem: On some Windows 95 systems using an ATI Rage
   Pro video adapter in 256 color mode, the color palette for Xevious may
   appear off. Upgrading to the latest version driver for the ATI Rage
   Pro will fix the problem.
 
***************
Windows NT 4.0:
***************
 
Performance problems: In 2x window mode (not 1x window mode), game
   performance may be decreased on some machines running Windows NT 4.0.
   In many circumstances, upgrading your video card's driver corrects
   the problem.
 
*******************
Windows 95 or OSR2:
*******************
 
Performance problems: Depending on your system configuration and
   video driver version, you may experience significant performance
   slowdowns when playing in 2x windowed mode if your desktop color
   depth is higher than 256 color. In many circumstances, upgrading
   your video card's driver will correct the problem.

Garbled game window: When any of the games initially load, the game
   window may be filled with garbled characters and/or colors. This is
   normal behavior while any of the games are loading and will go away
   upon loading completion. On slower computers, this process may take
   longer.
 
Pausing the game: To pause any of the games, you can either click
   outside of the game window to take focus away, or you can minimize the
   game window. To pause the game while in full-screen mode, you must
   first switch to window mode by pressing F11 or the ESC key and then
   follow the previous steps.
 
In the Rally-X screen for the bonus round, which first occurs after
   Round 2, it says 'CHARANGING STAGE' instead of 'CHALLENGE ROUND". This
   is an existing bug in the original Japanese ROMs upon which the games
   in the pack are based.
 
Autoplay not functional: If AutoPlay is disabled on your system, you
   can run Setup by completing the following steps:
 
   1. Double-click the "My Computer" icon.
   2. A window opens showing all the available storage volumes on your
      computer (i.e., hard drives, removable drives, floppy drives, CD-ROM
      drives, etc.).
   3. Double-click the CD-ROM icon.
 
   Setup will then automatically run from the CD-ROM.
