Graphics and Sound cards -------------------------------------------- GRAPHICS CARDS The Worms 4 Mayhem demo requires a graphics card with 3D hardware acceleration and at least 64 MB of RAM. The drivers for your graphic card must support DirectX 9 or higher. If you are having any problems running the game, please ensure you have updated your graphic card drivers before contacting technical support. SOUND CARDS If you are experiencing sound abnormalities such as clicking and popping, you may need to turn off sound hardware acceleration. Go to Start, Control Panel, Sound, then find the sound/audio hardware acceleration setting and turn it off. Occasionally, some users may experience poor audio quality when using an onboard nForce sound card in conjunction with certain graphics cards. Please update your nForce drivers and if the problem persists, switch over to the on-board graphics card. -------------------------------------------- VII.
