NOTICE: This game contains technology intended to prevent copying which may conflict with some disc and virtual drives. · Before you start, make sure your sound volume is not turned down or off. You might also verify that your external speakers are in their correct left/right orientation. And of course, make sure you have the latest drivers for your sound card and video card. · Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive and click on Install at the Startup screen. Type "D:\setup. exe" (where "D:" corresponds to your CD-ROM drive). Texture: This tells Uru how much detail to use when displaying textures such as object surfaces and close-up foliage. This affects how things look close up. Anisotropic Filtering: If available on your card, this feature improves the texture quality, making it more consistently sharp. A small adjustment in this setting can have a big effect. Allow EAX Effects: If your sound card does not support Creative Lab's EAX, this option is shown as unavailable. Otherwise, ensure that your sound card is properly configured to make use of its EAX benefits, such as more immersive and realistic sound effects. To disable EAX effects, uncheck this option. Number of Sounds: Low, Medium, High, Ultra. The game automatically defaults to the best setting for your sound card. AUDIO TAB Enabled: Check this box to turn on audio and audio settings. If left unchecked, Uru will run without any sound, and you will miss a huge amount of what's wonderful about Uru!Hardware Acceleration: Leaving this option checked will usually give you much better performance since it offloads audio tasks from the CPU to the sound card. Note: Hardware acceleration can be adjusted from the Hardware Acceleration slider in the Advanced Properties tab found in the Windows sound control panel. In general, this slider should be set to 100% because some features, such as EAX TM environmental audio, are only available when set to 100%. 12 13 THE STORY OF URU For 10, 000 years, the D'niTM people thrived underground, building a civilization that, on first examination, appeared almost perfect. Thirty-four kings ruled over the empire, moving it forward, shaping it, and honing it to understand and master the wonderful art of writing Linking Books to unlimited Ages. Then it died. Now, over 250 years later, it's been rediscovered, this time by explorers from the surface who are uncovering its mysteries and hearing its stories. But the rebuilding and restoration may not be as straightforward as they first seemed, for D'ni may not be as dead as it was thought. Secrets of the past must be uncovered. [. . . ] If you run into issues where the CD is not recognized, simply disable your virtual drive and run the game from a standard CD/DVD-ROM drive. If you are running Windows 98/ME, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and End Task all programs running in the background except Systray and Explorer. If you're running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and open the Task Manager. If there are more than 25 processes running in the background, you should contact your computer manufacturer so they can walk you through the processes and close all unneeded processes. Another item that might cause lag in the game would be mouse drivers. You should update the drivers for your mouse. [. . . ]
