Installing PERFECT SUDOKU.

Note: These instructions assume your PC is switched on and you are running Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP

3. Click "Next" when prompted.  Please read through the software license agreement. Accept the terms of the agreement and click "Next" to proceed. If you do not accept the terms, installation will be terminated and you will not be able to play the game.

3. DirectX 9.0c
===================    

During the install process, the game will detect if you have DirectX 9.0c or not and offer you the chance to install it. If you choose to install it, then it will be installed after the game installation has finished. 
If you need to install it manually, Click on the Windows taskbar "Start" button and select "Run..." followed by the "Browse..." button. Select your CD-ROM drive, then double click on the 'DirectX' folder. Click on the "DXSETUP.exe" file followed by "Open", and then "OK".

===================
4. Troubleshooting
===================    

Q. The game does not run - I get an error message stating that the game cannot initialize the graphics card.

A. If you have an onboard or integrated graphics chipset please ensure that it is at least DirectX 8.1 compliant (please see your manufacturer/motherboard documentation or website). 
Please note that having DirectX 9 installed on your system does not automatically mean that your onboard/integrated graphic chipset supports all features of DirectX 8.1 or DirectX 9.
If the graphics card is not DirectX 8.1 compliant you will not be able to run PERFECT SUDOKU.

If your graphics solution does meet the requirements, then please make sure you have the latest drivers installed for it and that you have installed DirectX 9.0c. 

Q. When I try to print I get an error.

A. This can be for a variety of reasons. Please ensure that your printer is switched on, configured correctly within Windows and set as the default printer.
Note: Most printers are fully supported in Windows XP and 2000. However, printers are not fully supported by Perfect Sudoku on Windows 98 and ME.
