FAQs

Q: What is the Direct 3D error: driver failure?

A: Your video card's drivers need to be updated in order to support directx 9c.

Visit your card manufacturer's website and install the latest drivers.

This occurs on cards using the S3 video chip. Since S3 no longer makes video chips, it might be time to upgrade your card.

I recommend a card that uses ATI, or nVidia 3D chips.

Q: Where can I get the latest version of Directx (end user runtime)?

A: visit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/

Q: How can I reset the high scores?

A: Just delet the .SAV file in the game's folder.
