I) Trouble shooting:
   -----------------


a) General Tips:
   *************
With so many different combinations of PCs, operating systems and video/sound 
cards, you may encounter difficulties running the game on your system. By 
following the tips mentioned in this section, you will address many common 
problems encountered when running games.

 1) Before installing the game, make sure you have the proper amount of 
    available hard drive space.

 2) Before installing the game, make sure that any programs that may be running 
    in the background are removed.

  b) Go to Run
  c) Type "msconfig", click on the "startup" tab.
  d) Uncheck everything except for SYSTEMTRAY and SCAN REGISTRY
  e) Click on Apply then Ok and reboot the system.



  If using Win2k, XP:
  ===================
  a) First backup the registry

 3) Run Disk Defragmenter on a regular basis.

 4) Read the minimum requirements and make sure your system meets them.

 5) If using Win2k or Win XP, logged in as the Administrator.

   *****************


    A) You need to insert the Legion Gold CD in the CDROM in order for the game to run.

    B) You may need to update the drivers for your sound card.

    C) Update the drivers for your CDROM.



c) Display problems/issues:
   ************************
If you are experiencing display problems with Legion, such as flickering 
images, black screen, strange colours, please do the following:

  A) Update your video card drivers. Here are some manufacturer's web sites.

     http://www.nvidia.com
     http://www.atitech.com
     http://www.3dfx.com
     http://www.matrox.com

  B) Make sure your monitor can support the refresh rate selected.

  C) Adjust the settings for hardware acceleration for your video card. (Reduce 
     it by one notch or two). (display properties/settings/advanced/performance).

  D) Reinstall DirectX after any driver update (cause for DDRAW error.)

  E) Make sure your screen can support the required resolution (cause for DDRAW 
     error.)



d) Performance issues:
   *******************
If Legion runs too slowly on your computer, there are a few things that 
you might want to try to improve the game's performance:

  *) Close any unnecessary programs (as mentioned above) that may be running 
     in the background. Antivirus programs and security programs are notorious 
     for slowing down your computer and can even cause various problems with 
     some games.
