Windows® 95/98 may not be setup to Autoplay CD's. To check, perform the following steps:
- Open the Windows® 95/98 Control Panel folder and double-click on the System icon.
- Click on the Device Manager tab. Click on the Plus sign next to CD-ROM, select your CD-ROM and choose Properties.

If Autoplay still does not work, please try the following:

III. Troubleshooting

Q - What is software mode and why would I need to run in it?
A - Software mode is for computers that cannot run the game in Hardware mode.  In software mode, the game relies on the computer, instead of the video card, to render the game.  This causes some hits to the performance and the image quality.  To see if your video card supports hardware mode, please check the above list of supported video cards.

Q - How can I navigate the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 shell screens?
A - The THPS 2 shell was designed to be navigated with three different input devices:  Joystick/Gamepad, Keyboard, and mouse. However, some shell screens require only the keyboard or gamepad.  The ENTER key on the keyboard or the JUMP button on the gamepad are universally used to change/accept options.

Q - I have a Force Feedback (tm) joystick/gamepad but there are no forces in the game?
A - Make sure you have the latest drivers for your input device and it is configured correctly in Windows.

Q - I have a Keytronic keyboard and I am having trouble maneuvering while pressing three keys at once.
A - There are some documented problems with this keyboard and THPS 2.  At the time of release there was not a fix for this issue.  However, Activision is working to eliminate this issue.

Q - Does Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 work with Dual Monitors?
A - A dual monitor setup has been tested with the game and it has been found that it causes problems with the game. It is suggested that if you have a dual monitor setup then simply disable the second monitor prior to playing the game.

Q - When I use the Level-Flip cheat, everything is backwards.
A - That's right, the Level-Flip cheat not only flips the level, but also the skater and the moves.  Have fun!
