3.  Follow the on-screen installation instructions.

If you do not have AutoPlay enabled, use either of the following
methods:

1.  Go to the Start Menu
2.  Select Run
3.  In the dialog box type D:\setup  (if your CD Drive is
    designated by a letter other than D, type that instead) 
4.  Press Enter
5.  Once installed, you can access the game from the start menu.

determine whether there is a newer version of DirectX available
than has shipped with this product, go to the following website:

www.microsoft.com/directx

Follow the instructions to download the End User version from
there, if it is a more recent one than is supplied on the CD-ROM.


III. GENERAL GAME ISSUES:
-----------------------------------------
PLAYING

1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Select Programs
3. Select SouthPeak Interactive
4. Select Pinky and the Brain (see Different Game Modes, below)

HI RES AND LOW RES

Pinky and the Brain (TM) World Conquest (TM) supports several modes
of play, which enable you to enjoy the game with or without 3D
acceleration. In most cases, you will want to use the High resolution
option; only if your system cannot run the game in High res should
you choose the Low resolution option from within the game. The game
will default either to 3D hardware-accelerated High resolution, or
640x480x256 colors 8-bit Software mode. The latter is distinguishable
from the hardware-accelerated mode mainly by the absence of shading
on the Pinky and The Brain characters in the mazes.

Certain 3D acceleration cards do not have enough video memory
for Pinky and the Brain (TM) World Conquest (TM), so during the
game you may get a message that says, "Video memory exceeded.  
Please try the game in software mode." If this happens, try 
"P&B Software Mode" from the Start menu.

THE FREEZE POWER-UP:

The Freeze power-up is not described in the manual, but is
featured prominently in the game. It's a Curse power-up, 
so when you grab it, other players are at your mercy.  In 
this case, they will freeze for a few seconds while you Take
Over the World! 

CURSE CAMERA IN SINGLE-COMPUTER, MULTI-PLAYER MODE:
Note that the Curse Camera will not work when the game is
played in this mode; it would not be appropriate for it to
do so.

COMMAND BUTTONS:

If you want to configure your options while playing a maze, 
or anytime you want without going into the Options part of
the menus, use these buttons:

F2	SFX decrease volume
F3	SFX increase volume
F4	Music decrease
F5	Music increase
F6	Voices decrease
F7	Voices increase

F8	make game darker
F9	make game brighter

F12	save an image of the game (images stored in game root)


IV. GENERAL WALK THROUGH
----------------------------------------
Pinky and the Brain (TM) World Conquest (TM)can be played
alone against the computer, in multi-player mode over
a Local Area Network or via the Internet, between two
computers hooked together with modems or a null-modem
cable, or with multiple gamepads daisy-chained together
on a single computer. The menus allow you to choose 
between these options.
NOTE: If you plan to use multiple gamepads daisy-chained
together on one computer for a multi-player game, BE SURE
to shut down your computer before hooking up the game pads.
Start the computer after connecting the gamepads and then
start the program. If you are using USB, and have a USB
hub, you will not need to take this precaution; however,
you should only start the game AFTER you have hooked up
all the gamepads. If you change the number of gamepads
connected to a USB hub with the computer on, be sure to
exit and re-start the game before attempting multi-player.

SINGLE PLAYER MODE:  TAKE OVER THE WORLD

When you play a single player game, you have the choice of
playing a Take Over the World game or a Tournament.  In a 
Take Over the World game, you are given a Global Domination 
Agenda, which is a series of more than fifty mazes.  You must 
play the Global Domination Agenda mazes in order; they will be
progressively more challenging the higher you go.  Every now
and then when you win a maze, you'll see a segment of the 
Pinky and the Brain cartoon.  If for some reason you cannot 
win a maze, don't give up, because after a few tries you will
be given the option of moving on to the next maze.

SINGLE PLAYER MODE: TOURNAMENTS

In tournament mode you select one or more mazes to play.  You 
choose mazes on the Maze Options Screen. Use your mouse to 
position the arrow next to the maze you want to select, and 
click the Add arrow to add it to your Tournament.  If you want
to remove the maze from your tournament, position the arrow next
to the maze in the lower window and click the Remove arrow.  

When you double click on a Maze name, you go to the Maze 
Configurations box. This box allows you to configure your
maze by choosing available camera modes and maze time limit.  

MULTIPLAYER MODE: TOURNAMENTS

All multi-player games are Tournaments.

When you choose multi-player in the menus, the first screen
you'll see is the Choose a Connection screen.  This is where you 
choose your mode of connection.  There are six modes of 
connection in the game.  

1. IPX - Select this if you are hooked up to a Local Area Network.

How to do it:

- Select IPX from the Choose a Connection Screen and hit 
  the Go! button in the menu.
- Enter your name.
- On the Host/Join screen, you can Join a game by positioning the
  arrow next to an active game and hitting the Join button.  You
  can host a name by hitting the Host button, typing in a name
  for your game, and hitting Go!
- Whether or not you've hosted or joined, you'll now Choose a
  Character.  Hit Go! after choosing a character.
- On the Maze Options screen, only the Host can pick games.  
  Other players can sit back and watch the Host pick the
  tournament.  This would be a good time to use the Chat feature
  to talk to other players.  When the Host clicks Go!, the area 
  surrounding the box with his name turns green.  Don't hold up
  the show; click Go! and start the game!


2. TCP/IP - Select this if you are hooked up to a Local Area
  Network that does not support IPX, or if you want to play
  over the Internet by entering a friend's IP address or
  machine name.

How to do it:

- Select TCP/IP from the Choose a Connection Screen and
  hit the Go! button.
- Follow the same steps as listed under IPX.  The only 
  difference is that in TCP/IP, after you enter your name
  and hit Go!, you will be given the choice of entering an
  IP address.  If you know your friend's IP, enter it.  If 
  you don't, and you want to browse a Local Area Network
  for available games, either cancel out of the IP window,
  or leave it blank and hit OK.

  NOTE: You can find your IP address once you've started
  your Internet browser by following these steps:
  
  1. Click Start--> Run
  2. In the white "Open" dialog box, type "winipcfg"
     (without quotes)
  3. You will now see an IP Address information screen;
     the numbers listed next to the IP Address line is
     your computer's current IP Address on the Internet.
     Depending on your Internet Provider, your IP Address
     may change each time you log on to the Internet with
     your browser. Make sure to run winipcfg this way each
     time you do so, to have the right IP Address to give
     to your friends looking for you.

3. Modem - Select this if you have a modem, and want to
   connect to a friend's machine.

- Select Modem from the Choose a Connection Screen and hit the
  Go! button.  You will get a Windows selection box where,
  along with other information, you'll enter your Baud Rate.
  You must select at least 28.8 Kbps in order to run this 
  game.  Your other settings, including your COM Port,
  should already be at their default settings, so just click OK.
- Follow the same steps as listed under IPX.
 
4. Serial - Select this if you have a serial cable connecting
   two computers.

- Select Serial from the Choose a Connection Screen.
- Follow the same steps as listed under IPX

5. Microsoft Internet Gaming Zone - Select this if you want
   to activate your browser and play against opponents on
   the MSN Gaming Zone!

- Select MSN Gaming Zone
- Your browser will start, and you will access the Gaming Zone.

6. Gamepad - If you have two or more gamepads hooked up to
   your machine, and they are the same type of gamepad 
   (make and model), you will be able to use this option to
   play with two or more players on the same computer.

- Select Gamepad from the Choose a Connection Screen.
- Follow the same steps as listed under IPX.


V. TROUBLESHOOTING:
-----------------------------------------

Q: The game runs too slow to play.

A: Try playing the game in one of its Software modes (see
   Game Modes, in General Game Issues).

-----------------------------------------

Q: My cursor keeps moving by itself on the screen. How
   do I stop it?

A: This is due to your joystick; if it is an analog
   joystick, go to Control Panel and click on the
   Game Controllers icon and recalibrate your
   joystick. If you have a Microsoft Sidewinder
   Freestyle Pro joystick, press the Sensor button
   on the joystick to switch the LED on the joystick
   from green to red (this temporarily disables the
   motion sensor).

-----------------------------------------
Q: I tried to switch to Low Resolution, but I was unable to do so.  
   What should I do?

A: If you have any 3D card, the low resolution option is disabled in
   the menu, because 3D hardware does not typically support 
   low resolution.  For this case, we've created a special
   shortcut executable that will allow you to play without
   hardware acceleration so you can choose either high or
   low resolution in the menu. In the Start menu for the game,
   select "P&B Software Mode."

-----------------------------------------

Q: Why can't I see sessions under TCP/IP or takes a long time?

A: Try typing in the machine name or TCP/IP address of the
   machine you are trying to connect with.

-----------------------------------------

Q: Why don't I hear any sounds?

A1: Go to the options menu off of the main menu and make sure
   the sound levels are adjusted properly.

A2: Use the function keys to change it if you are in the game.

-----------------------------------------

Q: How do I use the Opponent Configuration screen?

A: When you choose the number of Opponents you wish 
   to face on the Opponent Configuration screen (and
   choose their skill level-Easy, Medium, or Hard), 
   you are also choosing which mazes you want to see.
   For example, if you decide not to face any opponents,
   then you will be shown all the mazes in the tournament
   menu.  But if you decide to face three opponents, you 
   will only be shown the Mazes that allow three players.

   You can change your mind in the Maze Options screen and
   decide to play with more opponents.

------------------------------------------

Q: How do I use the Maze Options Screen?

A: The Maze Options Screen is the arena where you choose
   both Single and Multi-player tournaments.  Use your mouse
   to position the arrow next to the maze you want to select,
   and click the Add arrow to add it to your Tournament.  If 
   you want to remove the maze from your tournament, position
   the arrow next to the maze in the lower window and click
   the Remove arrow.  

   When you double click on a Maze name, you get the Maze
   Configurations box which allows you to configure your
   maze any way you want.

-------------------------------------------

Q: I can't play multi-player games using the Mazes I've
   created with the Maze Builder.  Why?

A: Sorry.  User mazes are for Single Player Tournament
   games only.

-------------------------------------------

Q: Why can't I play with two players on the same machine?

A: You can!  Just hook up two or more controllers to your
   machine (some joypads are daisy chained, while others
   are connected via a HUB).  This game supports Gravis joypads,
   Microsoft Sidewinders, and really just about any controller
   with a directional pad and five buttons.  If you want to 
   use more than one controller on the same machine, they must
   be the SAME type of controller.

   Once you have two controllers hooked up properly, you will
   see a selection in the Choose a Connection menu called
   Gamepads.

-------------------------------------------

Q: When I tried to uninstall the game, I received an
   error message that said, "This application uses Ctl3d32.dll,
   which is not the correct version."  What should I do?

A: Some Windows applications which are designed to run under
   both Windows 95/98 and Windows NT may install the NT version
   of CTL3D32.DLL. If you encounter this problem when attempting
   to uninstall Pinky and The Brain, please select 'OK.'

-------------------------------------------

Q: When asked if I wanted to install DirectX 6.0 during the
   install, I said No. Since the game requires DirectX 6.0 
   to run, I want to go back and install it. What should I do?

A: Go to the directory on your CD-ROM, and look for the
   DIRECTX6\redist\DirectX folder.  Double-click on dxsetup.exe.
   This will allow you to redo the installation process, and
   install DirectX 6.0.

-------------------------------------------

Q: I have 2 CD-ROM drives. I installed the CD and played the
   game, but I played it later and it would not run.  Why?

A: Always run the game from the same CD-ROM drive you used
   to install it.

-------------------------------------------
Q: I have a Riva 128 or ATI Rage/Rage II+ or other video card,
   and the game is giving me a black screen or crashing to
   Windows. What should I do?

A: In certain cases, the ability of the video card to switch
   between 2D and 3D modes may be impeded either by limitations
   of the DirectX drivers or limitations of the hardware. Please
   update your video card drivers to the latest version from your
   video card manufacturer's website, and then re-install 
   DirectX 6.0 to see if this resolves the problem. You may also
   try running the game in Software Mode; you will not see this
   problem if you play the game in Software Mode 
   (see instructions for doing so above).

-------------------------------------------

Q: Why can't I use my Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro, 
   Sidewinder Gamepad or other Microsoft controller?

A: Most likely you need to update your controller software.
   Try going to the Microsoft website:
   www.microsoft.com/hardware.
   Download the newest Game Controller software for your 
   Microsoft controller. The current version  as of this 
   writing is 3.0.
