                    Additions/Clarifications to Game Manual:

    P. 13 - On the Notes Menu, the Print option has been removed due to
            conflicts with the variety of printers and printer drivers
            that may be used.

                             -- Troubleshooting  --

 - Memory requirements

    Magic Candle III requires 1 MB of extended (NOT EXPANDED) memory free 
    to load the digitized Sound Blaster sounds.  To run the program you may 
    have to convert expanded memory to extended (by removing or altering your 
    EMM386 command). 

 - Sound Card problems

    Some AdLib compatible sound cards may not be detected by the INSTALL 
    program and the INSTALL program will default to PC Speaker. You may 
    override this selection and choose Adlib as your selection. 

    If sound problems occur within the game, there may be a compatibility 
    problem with your specific hardware configuration. To test for sound 
    card compatibility problems, run the INSTALL program and select PC 
    Speaker to see if this eliminates your problems. 

    Some possible problems have been uncovered with our Creative Labs Sound 
    Blaster drivers and the with the EMM386 memory driver.  If Sound 
    Blaster (or Sound Blaster Pro) problems occur, then try removing the
    EMM386 command from the config.sys file or create a boot disk without
    EMM386 being loaded.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
     - Special Note for 486/50 Mhz machines and Sound Blaster soundcards -

    Problems may occur with Sound Blaster soundcards when attempting 
    to play music on a 486 machine running at 50 Mhz speed.  Included with 
	The Magic Candle III are 2 files: ICD.EXE and ICE.EXE - the former to
	disable the internal cache on the 486 and the latter to reenable the
	cache.

Usage:   icd - disables the internal cache 
         ice - enables the internal cache

** WARNING:  IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A 486 COMPUTER, DO NOT RUN THESE PROGRAMS!! **

    Thanks to Michael Spertus - CompuServe #70313,2520 for these programs.
