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

Q) Origins of Mankind fails with a GPF.  I am using OS/2 for Windows.

A) QuickTime for Windows is not compatible with OS/2.  It is 
   possible to run Origins of Mankind with Win-OS/2, but only as a
   separate application in full-screen mode.  QTW will not operate
   properly in other OS/2 modes

Q) Poor video performance.  Video is distorted or plays outside of the
   frame, program may crash when video is selected 

A) Ensure the latest drivers are installed.  Most manufacturers change
   their video board range frequently and new drivers are often 
   published to resolve problems.  It may be necessary to contact the
   video board manufacturer to ensure the latest versions are in use.
   Generic drivers provided by Microsoft generally give lower
   performance than the drivers supplied by the manufacturer.
   Origns of Mankind uses QuickTime for Windows (QTW) for video and
   graphics.  QTW attempts to optimize performance for video boards.
   In some cases QTW is unable to recognise the video board, either
   because it is too new, or too unusual.  In these circumstances it
   may incorrectly estimate the video board’s capacity for optimization.
   The user can override QTW’s decisions. Locate the QTW.INI file in
   the Windows directory and look for the following lines:

   [Video]
   Optimize=hardware
   Change the second line to one of the 
   following:
   Optimize=driver
   Optimize=BMP
   Optimize=DIB
Note that each these alternatives offers a greater chance of
compatibility at the expense of reduced optimization.

Q) Poor Video performance with ATI Mach 64 GX video card

A) The following is taken from a suggestion posted on CompuServe by ATI,
   in response to reports of incompatibilities with QuickTime for
   Windows.
   In SYSTEM.INI, look for [MACX] and add the line 
   DeviceBitMap=OFF
   
   ATI suggest two more things. They provide a utility for setting
   video modes called the ATI DESKTOP.  In the desktop utility they 
   recommend that WinSwitch be DISABLED and that the 256 Color Palette
   be ENABLED.
