TROUBLESHOOTING MICROSOFT GOLF 3.0 SETUP
Below are the four most common issues encountered while installing Golf. Follow the instructions for each issue you encounter, and then run Setup again.

An Intel 486 or Higher Processor
You must either upgrade to an Intel 486 or higher processor, or switch to a computer with an Intel 486 or higher processor.

Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 3.51 or Later
You must install Microsoft Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 3.51 or later. To purchase a Windows upgrade, see your local retailer.

A 256-Color Video Driver (Minimum 640 x 480 Display Resolution)
Microsoft Golf high-resolution golf courses require a 256-color video display. In most cases, you need only install a 256-color video driver to correct the problem.

To change the palette to 256 colors in Windows 95/98:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click the Display icon.
 * 3) Click the Settings tab.
 * 4) In the Color Palette or Colors box, click 256 color.
 * 5) Click OK.

NOTE: If you don't have the necessary 256-color driver, or if you aren't sure that your video card supports 256 colors, contact your video-card manufacturer.

To obtain Super VGA drivers:

Install the Super VGA (256 colors) drivers. These drivers are included with version 3.11 of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, and they work correctly on many video cards.
