Microsoft Golf for Windows version 1.0 README file -------------------------------------------------- This document contains information about Microsoft Golf for Windows that was unavailable when the Microsoft Golf Player's Guide was printed. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------- Contents -------- Scorecard Printing Tips Additional Troubleshooting Customizing Sounds ----------------------- Scorecard Printing Tips ----------------------- If you are printing on an HP LaserJet with 512K of memory or if your score cards print with some of the lines missing, you should set the printer graphics resolution to 75 dots per inch. To do this: * From the Game menu, choose Print Score Card. * Choose the Options button. * In the Graphics Resolution box, choose 75 dots per inch. * Choose the OK button. * In the Copies box, choose the number of score cards you want to print. * Choose the OK button. -=-=-=-=- If you are having other problems printing the score card, try using the Generic/Text Only printer driver instead. The resulting printout will only have the text and scores displayed. To install the driver: * In Program Manager, open the Main program group. * Double-click the Control Panel icon. * Double-click the Printers icon. * Choose the Add button. * In the List of Printers, choose the Generic/Text Only printer driver. * Choose the Install button. * When prompted, insert the appropriate Microsoft Windows disk. * Choose the OK button. Before you print the score card, make sure the Generic/Text Only printer is selected in the Print Score Card dialog box. -=-=-=-=- For best results, print the score card in portrait mode. If you print the score card in landscape mode, some information may be lost. -------------------------- Additional Troubleshooting -------------------------- Some Video Seven video drivers cause display problems in Microsoft Golf. Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card; contact Headland Technology Inc. for updated drivers. -=-=-=-=- Some 32,000 color video drivers will not work with Microsoft Golf correctly. If you have a bad video driver, you will experience problems such as a box appearing around the player. Check with the manufacturer of the video card for an updated driver. -=-=-=-=- Some sounds are cut short when using the IBM M-Audio sound driver from the Windows 3.1 WDL disks. Short sounds, like the club hitting the ball, are completely cut off. Check with IBM for updates to the M-Audio sound driver. -=-=-=-=- On computers with a DTK BIOS, the system freezes if you choose Help from the Post Shot Selections window. To regain control of your computer, turn the computer's Turbo feature off and back on again. ------------------ Customizing Sounds ------------------ Some users may want to change or substitute the .WAV files in Microsoft Golf. This is not recommended, and any problems incurred are the responsibility of the user. If you choose to add your own sounds, they must not be longer than the original sounds and must meet the 8-bit mono 11.025KHz specifications. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thank you for choosing Microsoft Golf for Windows.
