The game requires that you have the current version of DirectX installed. You will want to install DirectX from the CD before attempting to play the game. You can either install it from the autorun menu or by double-click on the DX5ENG file found within a DirectX folder on the CDROM. If you have obtained the Demo version of the game DirectX is not included. You can download the newest end-user version of DirectX from the following address:

www.microsoft.com/directx


Please reference our DirectX troubleshooting guide if you continue to experience troubles with DirectX.

The game is crashing when I attempt to run it.

This could actually be caused by a couple of different reasons. You will want to check the following:

• The game requires that you have the current version of DirectX installed. You will want to reference the answer to the above question and/or our DirectX troubleshooting guide.
  

• This may also be caused by another program runnning in the background. You will want to do the following:
  1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL. This will bring up a "Close Program" box.
  2. The only items listed should be Explorer and Systray
  3. Highlight any other item listed
  4. Click on End Task
  5. Continue back with step 1 until Explorer and Systray are the only items listed.

• Try running the game again.

I am trying to run the game with NT 4.0 and it isn't working

To run this game on a system with NT 4.0 you will want to make sure that you have already installed Service Pack 3. If you have not already installed Service Pack 3 for NT you will want to obtain it from Microsoft. There are reported problems of installing the game on an NTFS partition. The current update available on the patches section below will fix the NTFS installtion issue.

I can't refuel my car in the game.

To refuel the car you will need to select the car engine with the command cursor (please see your manual pg. 35 regarding the command cursor). When the mouse button is held down a menu will appear. You will want to select the backpack icon. When the inventory box appears select your Micro Fusion Cells. You will need to repeat this until the Engine is full.
