---- GENERAL TIPS ----------------------------------------------

CHECK YOUR HARD DISK

  Redjack requires 65 MB of local hard disk space for installation. 
  The game will also take advantage of up to 250 MB of additional space
  for temporary usage. Having this space available on your hard disk
  ensures that Redjack will run as fast as possible and with the most
  detailed graphics. 

  Hard disks can become corrupted or fragmented for a variety of reasons. 
  If you are experiencing problems when Redjack is installed or during 
  gameplay when files are copied to your hard disk we recommend using a
  commercial hard disk utility to verify and defragment your disk.

ADJUST YOUR COLOR PALETTE

  Your computer may run Redjack faster in thousands of colors, but 
  millions of colors will look better. To adjust this before playing,
  open your Monitors Control Panel and change the setting. The color
  palette can also be adjusted inside the game by hitting the spacebar
  to bring up the game control panel and then clicking the "More"
  button in the lower right.

ADJUST YOUR DESKTOP SIZE

  Redjack runs in a desktop size of 640 X 480. Use your Monitors Control
  Panel to adjust the size of your desktop before gameplay so that Redjack
  will fill the entire screen.

ADJUST YOUR SCREEN BRIGHTNESS

  Your screen may have a brightness control that needs to be adjusted.
  Also, holding down the Command key and pressing the "+" or "-" keys
  will adjust brightness during the game with software as needed.

CHECK YOUR EXTERNAL SPEAKERS

  Redjack sounds great with a good pair of external speakers or
  headphones. For quieter play turn on "Subtitles." Simply hit the
  spacebar to bring up the control panel and then click the "More"
  button in the lower right.


---- KNOWN PROBLEMS -------------------------------------------

CONFLICTS WITH SOME SCREEN SAVERS

  If you have a screen saver installed, we recommend you disable
  it before playing Redjack.  Some screen savers can cause the
  screen to be erased and not repainted correctly, and other
  screen savers that play sounds can cause Redjack to crash.

TOO MANY EXTENSIONS

  Watch out for extensions that take up lots of memory or 
  cause other problems.  Extensions (also called INITs) are
  small programs that install themselves when your system 
  boots up. To turn off an extension, go to the apple menu and 
  select control panels/extensions manager and turn off the 
	desired extensions. Restart your machine so the changes can 
  take effect. Redjack is compatible with most extensions, so 
  experiment to see if you can identify which one is causing the 
  problem. The only extensions that Redjack requires are the 
  CD-ROM driver that came with your CD-ROM drive and the Memory 
  extension, so do not turn those off.

NOT ENOUGH RAM

  Redjack offers extra features, speed, and sound when there 
  is plenty of RAM.

  Be sure that you are not running any other applications.  
  For example, don't run a spreadsheet and Redjack at the 
  same time.

  Check the control panels that handle memory.  Be sure 
  the RAM cache is off or as small as possible.  Be sure your 
  computer is in 32-bit mode if possible. Virtual memory
  works OK with Redjack. Be sure the Modern Memory Manager
  is ON if possible.

  Check for extensions that hog memory (see Tip 1 above).
  Extensions that add sounds or graphics to your system 
  take up lots of RAM.

SOUND PROBLEMS

  Check that you have the extension Sound Manager 3.1 or greater,
  and System 7.1 or greater. This software is available from your
  Apple dealer or on a newer copy of the Apple System Software. 

  Check if you are running applications or extensions that play
  sounds, such as Fax, E-Mail, or Screen Saver software. Disable
  these extensions because they may be using up sound channels.

  Command 0 through Command 9 will set the sound volume. 
  Be sure that the volume has not been accidentally set to 
  zero.

  If the external speaker jack is in use, the Mac's 
  internal speaker will be deactivated.  Turn on the external 
  speaker or remove the jack.

SLOW PERFORMANCE

  Check your extensions (see Tip 1 above). Extensions 
  that run networks or implement screen savers are sometimes 
  quite slow.

  Give Redjack more RAM.  Redjack will use all available 
  RAM for caching and other speed and sound enhancements.

  Check the performance of your CD-ROM drive. Most drives 
  have an access time of at least 250 milliseconds or faster, 
  and a data transfer rate of 600 K per second or faster.

  Consider switching to thousands of colors before running
  Redjack. This will improve speed on most machines.

BOMBS AND CRASHES

  The Mac System Error -36 is a definite indication that
  Redjack cannot read your CD-ROM.

  Maybe your CD-ROM disk is dirty.  Look at the disk in a 
  strong light for any scratches or oily fingerprints that 
  may be there.  Clean the disk with mild soapy water, dry 
  gently with a Kleenex (do not scratch), and try again. 

  Some CD-ROM drives have trouble reading disks.  The 
  problem could be an old version of your CD-ROM driver 
  extension.  Get a new version from your CD-ROM dealer. 
  Another problem is that some CD-ROM drives overheat or 
  misread data.

  Anytime your computer is acting strangely, we suggest that 
  you restart the machine.  Be sure it is off when connecting 
  SCSI cables or other hardware.
