Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------

Q1)
Q.	Tomb Raider does not Auto Select my Sound Card. What do I do ?

A.	There are some sound cards and system specs which make it
	impossible for us to detect your sound card. In these cases you will
	have to manually select your card. Select the option to 
	"Manually Select Card". If you are not sure what settings you should
	use for the DMA and IRQ settings, there are a number of ways to find
	out:
   i.	From the DOS prompt, type SET. If your sound card is Sound Blaster
	compatible there should be a system variable called BLASTER.
	This will show your settings. 
   ii.	If you cannot find this and you have Windows '95 then from the
	Start Button select "Settings", then "Control Panel", then select
	the "System" icon. Select the "Device Manager" tab and double click
	on the word "Computer" [the top item on the list]. From here 
	you can see what your DMA and IRQ settings are for your sound card.
	Do not change any settings. Select CANCEL from the various windows
	you have opened and close the Control Panel.
   iii	If neither of these methods are suitable, there should be a program
	supplied with your Sound Card which allows you to see what your 
	settings are. 

Q2)
Q.	My menu screens and SVGA version of the game corrupted, why ?

A.	If you find that the SVGA graphics resolution of the game, together 
	with some of the menus are incorrectly displayed this is probably due
	to a VESA problem. **Tomb Raider requires a VESA compliant graphics
	card in order to function correctly**. 

Q3)
Q.	I can't define all the keys on my GamePads and/or Joysticks. Why not ?

A.	Tomb Raider was originally designed to be played with a keyboard on the
	PC. With the increase in popularity of GamePads and Joysticks on the PC
	we have included support for many of these. Please refer to the manual
	for further details. Over the coming weeks, we will be evaluating a 
        range of new GamePads and Joysticks and if the demand is there, we'll 
        release a small patch to accomodate them. Keep an eye out on the 
        WWW.TOMBRAIDER.COM web site.

Q4)
Q. 	I set up a User Keys definition, and now I want to use the default
        keys, some of the default keys don't seem to work. Why?

A.	There are two keyboard layout screens, the Default Keys and the User 
        Keys. If a key is defined as two different things, ie CTRL=Action on
        the Default setup and as Roll on the User set up the User set up will
        take priority.
	To restore to the default options, you may either define the User Keys
	to be those of the Default Keys, or select keys for the User Keys setup 
	that are not defined in the Default Keys setup.

Q5)
Q.	Can I stop the Windows '95 Hot Keys and/or the Screen Saver from working?

A.	Yes. Right Click on the file name TOMB.EXE. Select Properties. Click on 
	the tab called "Misc". Clear the checks in the Allow screen saver box 
	and in the Windows shortcut keys area. Please note: This is performed
	automatically in the full version of the game.

Note:   If the frame rate seems too slow, you can switch from high resolution to 
        low resolution (F1), decrease the screen size (F2), or lower the detail
        level (pause menu).

          	                Tomb Raider
                  Matrox Mystique Accelerated DEMO Version 1.00
                             February 18, 1997

This is the DEMO version of Tomb Raider.  This DEMO will work on the Matrox
Mystique cards (2MB or 4MB).  Note that the Tomb Raider DEMO works in a
double buffered, hardware Z-buffer, 16bpp color mode.  Hence, in order to
allow such a game with all its amazing worlds and textures to work on a 2MB
Mystique card, the DEMO runs in a 512x384 resolution.  Owners of a 4MB
Mystique card (or 2MB base plus 2MB expansion), will have an advantage of
running at a resolution of 640x480.  Owners of a 4MB Mystique card who wish
to see the DEMO in a 512x384 resolution can set an environment variable;
'set mtx_lowres=1' before running the DEMO.  Doing a 'set mtx_lowres=0' or
'set mtx_lowres=' will make the DEMO work in 640x480 again.
