=========================================================================
NOTES ON COMPATIBILITY
=========================================================================
FUNCTIONALITY

TimeShift is designed to function with Windows(R) XP-compatible and Windows
Vista(TM)-compatible graphics and sound cards. Drivers for these devices are
provided by Windows(R) itself or the respective card manufacturers and may
occasionally result in compatibility problems beyond our control.

TimeShift does not support Windows(R) 95, Windows(R) 98, Windows(R) ME since
the application requires proper installation and functionality of DirectX(R)
9.0c or higher. Microsoft(R) does not provide or support DirectX(R) 9.0c for
these operating systems. TimeShift is also not supported on Windows XP 64.

If you experience any problems, it is always recommended that you obtain the
latest drivers for your hardware. Driver updates resolve the overwhelming
majority of compatibility issues. Most hardware vendors make their drivers
available on their web site.

If you are unsure of a web site URL for a particular hardware vendor, please
contact your computer manufacturer or check their web site for driver updates.

Joysticks and other game controllers are not supported.



=========================================================================
KNOWN ISSUES
=========================================================================
* S3 video cards are not supported.

* Make sure that all applications that are running in the background such as
virus scanners, desktop Utilities (menus/toolbars), media players, and chat
programs are disabled before running TimeShift.

* Task-switching with ALT-TAB or the Windows(R) Key back to the desktop while
running the game is not recommended.

* Striking the Shift key five times may cause the 'Sticky Key' feature to
become enabled in Windows(R). If this happens, the feature will task switch to
a desktop dialogue box with options related to this feature, including one to
disable it entirely.



=========================================================================
GAMEPLAY HINTS
=========================================================================
* We intend for you to use your time powers once every minute during your
gameplay experience. You'll find that you often can use more than one to
overcome obstacles.

* Your time powers automatically recharge after use ? use them with care.

* Don't be afraid of a small fire.

* Using your time powers will drastically change how difficult you feel a
situation is. Remember not every time power is the ideal one to use in a given
situation.

* You do not have to hold the TimeShift buttons (Slow, Stop, and Reverse)
because they are toggles.

* You can use your time powers if you?re on foot or in a vehicle.

* Time manipulation affects everything in the world except you ? keep this in
mind.

* S.S.A.M. can further help you through difficult puzzles by displaying hint
boxes. To enable these, go to the Options menu.
