Windows 95 Users
----------------

To ensure that Alien Trilogy runs correctly on your particular set
up, we advise you to run WTRILOGY.EXE as this should help to make the
game run smoothly. You may find, however, that in some rare
occaisions the movies do not play correctly.

                                -=-

Troubleshooting
---------------

Spacetec 360 users
------------------

You must run SPWTRIL.EXE to use the Spacetec 360 with Alien Trilogy.

                                -=-

VFX-1 Headgear
--------------

Please note that this hardware will only work in 256 color mode.

Ensure that you have properly calibrated your VFX-1 before playing
the game.

Memory
------

If you find that you are getting out of memory errors while running
Alien Trilogy or movies, try some of the following:

1) Before running Alien Trilogy type SET DOS4GVM=TRILOGY.VMC (See
   below)
2) Installing the program to run in 256 colours.
3) Booting from a clean floppy disk.
4) Removing memory resident programs.

                                -=-

TRILOGY.VMC
-----------

You may need to edit this to get Trilogy to work on your system. The
PhysMin is the amount of memory Trilogy requires. PhysMax is the
amount of memory FREE on your system. We suggest you increase PhysMax
until the program runs with the movies.

                                -=-

Video Cards
-----------

On some portable and laptop PCs you may find that your video set up
will only run Alien trilogy in 256 colors.

                                -=-
                                
Alien Trilogy tries to work out your computer configuration in order
to provide the best possible gameplay. On some rare occaisions, 
however, it may experience problems assessing your video set up 
and not initialize your card correctly. If you find this is the case,
type:

                TRILOGY -nvd

and the program will run in default VESA video modes.

                                -=-

If you cannot get Alien Trilogy to work in high color mode, try
installing for 256 colors.

Check out our websites for any patches.

                                -=-

Installation Notes
------------------

During installation, a file called TRILOGY.BAT is placed in the root
of your C: drive (C:\TRILOGY.BAT). This file will not only execute
Alien Trilogy for you but is used by some programs to locate the game
on your system and indicate that a successful installation has taken
place.

Removing this file will not stop you from playing the game but may
make some periperhal programs believe that Alien Trilogy is not
installed.

                                -=-


In-game speech
--------------

The speech samples are only available if you have enough memory available.
If you do not, see MEMORY above.

                                -=-

Windows 95 and Gravis Pad
--------------------------

If you have installed your Gravis Pad Windows 95 drivers, Alien
Trilogy may not detect you have this hardware connected to your
system. Run the disable utility that comes with your pad and Alien
Trilogy will work correctly when you enter the Options screen.

                                -=-

We hope you enjoy the game.
