-------------------------------------------------------------------------2.0 Problem Solver 2.1 The game won't load * Close down any applications, including virus killers, before starting Cow Hunter. * Cow Hunter requires DirectX 6 or higher to work. * DirectX 6 is provided on the Cow Hunter CD. To install it, insert the CD and follow the on-screen instructions. * If you are running Windows NT, you need to be running a version capable of supporting DirectX 6 or higher. At the time of writing only Windows NT 5 is expected to support this. This product has not been tested on Windows NT 5. * If you have problems with any other DirectX based games, contact your hardware provider and explain the problem. You should also check http://www.microsoft.com for further DirectX updates. 2.2 The mouse won't work * There is a known problem on a very small minority of machines where the mouse cursor fails to move. Please check the website for the latest patches:- http://www.xicat.com 2.3 The game runs slowly * Using the Preferences tool, try running the game in 24-bit mode rather than 16-bit mode. * Buy a faster machine! 2.4 I've read the above, but am still having problems * The first thing to try is uninstalling the current version, and reinstalling the product, possibly using a different install option to the one you tried before. * If you are running any other software concurrently, exit it or disable it as appropriate. This includes virus killers or windows tools not provided by Microsoft. * Whilst it is possible you have a faulty CD, it is more likely to be a slight incompatibility with your PC. Possible culprits include soundcards and possibly even network cards. You can disable these cards by doing the following:* Go to START MENU -> SETTINGS -> CONTROL PANEL * Double click on the SYSTEM icon * Click the DEVICE MANAGER tab * Locate your selected device, clicking any + signs as necessary

* Double click your selected device, and you are given the option to disable it. You may need to reboot your machine before you can test the product properly. * Remember to re-enable your hardware once you have finished testing for problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------3.0 Cow Hunter Development Credits At Xicat Interactive Inc.
