                        CONFIGURING YOUR SOUND CARD

You must select the correct sound driver for your PC when you install
cricket to your harddisk. If you need to change any of the settings
at a later date, just type INSTALL in your cricket directory, at the 
menu press F2 and you will then be prompted for the new settings.


                             SOUNDBLASTER

If you have a soundblaster or compatible sound card, you must specify
the correct I/O address, IRQ (interrupt) and DMA channel for your card.
Failure to do so could result in the game not functioning or the machine
crashing!!

If you are unsure about the correct settings, consult your sound cards
manual.

If you are unsure about the settings of other peripheral cards and the
game is not running properly it is probably due to a hardware conflict.
Temporarily remove all cards except the sound card and other essential
cards such as the disk controller. Then, insert the cards back one at a
time until you find which card is causing the problem.
If you do find a hardware conflict, you must change the hardware settings
on the sound card or on the card causing the problem so they do not
conflict. You will need to consult your hardware manuals on how to do this.

As a last resort, delete the file SND.DAT in your cricket directory. This
will force the game to auto-configure the sound drivers. This works on 
most PC's, but if your game fails to start you must re-install cricket
from the original floppy disk.

Brian Lara's Cricket requires 503K of free memory to run. If the game will 
not run with the memory you have free on your machine, create a system disk
through the install program. Then create a Config.sys on your system disk 
and insert this command in it using the DOS Edittor....

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
                                  
                                  FINALLY
