You must have a DirectX compatible Sound and Video Card for Wild Wings to operate properly. DirectX 7 is included on the CD 2. Wild Wings is very graphics intensive so a high performance video card is recommended. We highly recommend you purchase a 3D Accelerator card. 3. This product has not been tested with any version of DirectX greater than version 7. We assume that the newer versions of DirectX will work but cannot guarantee 100% compatibility. 4. Wild Wings is also a LARGE game so we recommend a computer system with at least 32 MB of RAM. Of course, the more memory the better! 5. If you are experiencing display problem, problems with the graphics palette, cursor problems or other performance issues, we strongly recommend that you run Wild Wings in 640x480 mode. 6. If Wild Wings is running very sluggish it could be because you don't have enough free space on the hard drive. Try freeing up some space if you have less than 100 megabytes of free space on your hard drive. 7. If the game fails to run on your system it could be because you don't have DirectX compatible drivers. Run the DirectX diagnostic (Dxdiag.exe in your "C:\Program Files\DirectX\Setup" directory.) And make sure you have certified drivers. 8.
