NOTES
-----

WINDOWS 2000 USERS
We have successfully tested Theme Park World on the pre-release
version of Windows 2000 that was available at the release of the
game. However, as the Windows 2000 drivers had not yet been
finalised, we cannot guarantee the game's performance on this
operating system.

SOFTWARE RENDERING MODE
When selecting Software Render from the in-game options screen,
you will only have Low and Medium graphics quality options
available.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
----------------

EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS RUNNING THEME PARK WORLD?
When you load Theme Park World, the game attempts to find the
best graphics option for your machine. It is possible that this
check can fail because of non-standard hardware or drivers. Should
you have any problems running the game, please run the following
utility: SAFEMODE.BAT. This file can be found in the directory to
which you installed the game, which is probably C:\Program Files\
Bullfrog\Theme Park World. This will set the lowest graphic
options for this game, and disable the use of any 3D hardware. If
you have a 3D graphics card installed, and this method is
successful in running the game, you can use the options screen
in-game to re-enable your graphics card, and then select higher
detail options one by one to find out which one is causing the
problems.

FLICKERING CURSOR
If you experience flickering or other corruption on the mouse
cursor in-game, then try the following: From the Windows desktop, 
click on the Start menu and select Run. In the text box which
appears, type the following line:
"c:\program files\bullfrog\theme park world\tp.exe" /flmouse
Note: this assumes you installed the game to the default
directory. If you did not, you need to change this line
accordingly.
If you still experience problems, try following the instructions
above, but instead using this line:
"c:\program files\bullfrog\theme park world\tp.exe" /bwcursor

3DFX CARDS
Owners of early 3DFX graphics cards such as Voodoo1 should choose
to run the game using their primary video card from the in-game
options screen, and select software rendering.

ALT-TAB SWITCHING
You may use Alt-Tab to switch between the game and the Windows
desktop. However, when switching back to the game it is possible
that some graphics may become corrupted. This depends on your
video card and driver - if you experience this problem, we
suggest that you do not use the Alt-Tab function.

NON-MMX MACHINES
PCs which are not equipped with MMX technology, including early
Pentium and Pentium Pro-based machines, are not supported by Theme
Park World.


UNSUPPORTED FEATURES
--------------------

There are extra detail options which are not supported by
Bullfrog, but which are included in the game. These options,
such as Sky Shadow, Triple Buffering and 32-bit rendering may
be introduced into the game by editing one of three text files:
low.sam, med.sam and high.sam. These correspond to the low, medium
and high detail options in the game, and can be found in your
game install directory, in the data folder.

******************************************************************
IMPORTANT: Before you edit these files, be sure to make a backup
copy of each so you can easily restore the settings back to their
default.
******************************************************************

DISCLAIMER: Because the options are unsupported, we can accept no
responsibility/liability for any problems arising from their use.
IF YOU EDIT THESE FILES YOU DO SO ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
