DISK PREPARATION
Before you install any software, it is critical that your hard drive be in
proper working order. We recommend running ScanDisk, Disk
Defragmenter, and Disk Cleanup.
ScanDisk searches your hard drive for lost allocation units as well as
cross-linked files and directories. Disk Defragmenter ensures that your
data is sorted properly. Failure to verify this may result in corrupt data.
Disk Cleanup clears unnecessary files from your system freeing up disk
space and preventing conflicts that might stop the game from installing
correctly.

DIRECTX NOTES
DirectX is an Application Programming Interface that gives Windows
based applications high-performance, real-time access to your hardware,
while reducing the complexity of installing and configuring your
hardware. This makes the DirectX API well suited for Windows games.
Clive Barker’s Undying™
uses the DirectX 8 API (the latest iteration of
DirectX at the time of release) and includes DirectX 8 files which you can
install.

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR SOFTWARE?
If you are having a problem installing or using your software, we want to
help.
■
Please make sure you have read thoroughly the System Requirements
and Installing the Game sections. It is essential that your system meets
the Minimum Configuration requirements for the game.
If you followed the directions and are still having trouble installing or
operating the software, below are some troubleshooting tips that might
help solve the problem.
DIRECTX PROBLEMS
One of the most important aspects of trouble-shooting your system will
be determining its compatibility with Microsoft’s DirectX. There are two
considerations to be made. First, you must be sure that you have DirectX
8 installed on your computer. Secondly, you must make sure that your
existing hardware (your video and sound cards) has "drivers" that are
fully compatible
with DirectX 8. A "driver" is the software provided by
your hardware manufacturer that allows your hardware to communicate
with DirectX and Windows. It is essential that these video and sound
drivers are fully up to date.
Two DirectX components, DirectDraw™ and DirectSound™, may require
updating your video card and sound card drivers respectively for proper
operation of these components. Using video card and sound card drivers
that do not support DirectX will result in display and audio problems in
DirectX applications.
After installing DirectX 8
, check to see if your video card and sound
card drivers have DirectX support:
1.
Click the "Start
button on your Windows Taskbar, then click
Run
….
2.
In the Run dialog box, type
dxdiag
then click OK.
3.
Click on the Display and Sound tabs for the video and sound devices
that you will be using to run the game.
The Drivers section of each tab displays the driver version number and
whether or not your driver is Certified by Microsoft as supporting DirectX 8.
If the Certified field states "No" in this section, you must contact your
manufacturer to obtain updated drivers that support DirectX 8.
If the Certified field states "Yes" in this section, your video card or
sound card supports DirectX 8 and should work properly in DirectX 8
applications.
You will also want to be sure that the driver version number is
4.08.xx.xxxx or higher (for example: 4.10.00.0000 would be good,
while 4.03.00.0000 would indicate that the driver needs to be
updated.)
INSTALLING DIRECTX
During the installation of
Clive Barker’s Undying
, the install program
checks your version of DirectX and prompts you to install it if necessary.
However, if you wish to update to DirectX version 8 manually, please use
the following steps.
To install DirectX:
1.
Insert the
Clive Barker’s Undying
disc into your CD-ROM drive. Exit
the Autorun menu if it appears.
2.
Click the "Start
button and select
Find > Files or Folders
…. The Find
dialog box appears.
3.
In the Named: field, type
DXSETUP
.
4.
In the Look In: field,
select the CD-ROM drive
(this is typically the
D: drive, but may be different on your system.)

8
5.
Click
Find Now
.
6.
Double-click
DXSETUP
when it appears.
7.
Click the
Reinstall DirectX
or
Install DirectX
button.
8.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
CD PROBLEMS
A 8x-speed or faster CD-ROM drive is required to run
Clive Barker’s
Undying
.
RECEIVE "FILE NOT FOUND" ERROR MESSAGE WHEN
INSTALLING OR RUNNING THE GAME
■
Make sure the appropriate CD is in the CD drive. The CD must be in
the drive to install or run the game.
■
Make sure the CD is not scratched or damaged.
CD-ROM PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS
■
Make sure you are using a 32-bit native Windows driver to control your
CD-ROM drive. To verify that you are using 32-bit CD-ROM drivers:
■
Click "Start > Settings > Control Panel
.
■
From the Control Panel, double-click
System
. The System Properties
appear.
■
Click the
Performance
tab.
■
If the Performance Status states that your system is configured for
optimal performance, you are using 32-bit Windows native drivers and
do not need to update them. If not, you may need to update your CDROM drivers.
■
Do not use a DOS-based 16-bit driver to control your CD-ROM (loaded
in CONFIG.SYS) as it may significantly reduce performance.
GENERAL CRASHES/LOCKUPS
In some cases, programs that are running on your system can
monopolize resources that the game needs in order to install, load and
run properly. Not all of these programs are immediately visible. There are
a number of programs, called "background tasks", that are always
running on your system.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While shutting down background tasks will
optimize your system for running Clive Barker’s Undying, these
background tasks’ features will be unavailable once shut down. Be
sure to re-enable background tasks after playing Clive Barker’s
Undying by restarting your computer.
ANTI-VIRUS/CRASH GUARD PROGRAMS
If your system is running Anti-Virus or Crash Guard programs you will
need to close or disable them to run
Clive Barker’s Undying
. To do this,
find the icon for the program on the Windows taskbar. Right-click the icon
and select "close", "disable", or the relevant option.
GENERAL BACKGROUND TASKS
Once Anti-Virus and Crash Guard programs have been disabled, you
should end all unnecessary general background tasks. To view and close
these background tasks:
1.
Hold down the
Ctrl
and
Alt
keys, then tap the
Delete
key.
2.
The Close Program window appears. Inside this window is a list of all
background tasks running on your system.
■
It is important that you DO NOT CLOSE the background tasks named
Explorer or Systray. All other background tasks may be ended.
3.
To end a background task, click on its name in the list, then click the
End Task
button.
4.
The Close Program window closes and the task is ended.
Repeat until only Explorer and Systray remain.
It is important to remember that the next time you restart your computer
all of the background tasks that you ended will reactivate.
VIDEO PROBLEMS
Clive Barker’s Undying
requires a Direct3D or Glide compatible video
card capable of 640X480 resolution with 16-bit high-color (16 MB or
more video memory).
NOTE: If your Windows display driver does not support DirectDraw,
you may experience difficulties installing or running Clive Barker’s
Undying.
