VI. TROUBLESHOOTING
-------------------------
THQ thoroughly tests its games on a variety of systems before they are
released, but it is virtually impossible to test on all combinations
of software and hardware. Many of the issues you may encounter are
caused by device drivers for video cards, sound cards and DVD-ROM
drives that are not fully compatible with the Windows operating system
and/or DirectX. The following troubleshooting tips are intended to
assist you in solving some of the common issues you might experience
in relation to the game.
---------DirectX 9.0c for Windows---------
For those unfamiliar with DirectX, it is an API (Application
Programming Interface) set that increases the functionality and speed
at which games play under the Windows operating system. These API's
allow direct access to the enhanced features of hardware under
Windows. With DirectX, a program has instant access to the hardware,
allowing for great advances in graphics, sound, video, 3D and network
capabilities of games.
If you have other Windows games on your computer, chances are you
already have an earlier version of DirectX installed. In this case,
it is recommended to install Microsoft DirectX 9.0c.
This should not affect any games using previous versions of DirectX.
Should you encounter problems with DirectX, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/directx/
for additional information.

VII. KNOWN ISSUES
--------------------------------------------

15. GENERAL PROVISIONS. You may not use, copy, modify, sublicense, rent, sell, assign or transfer the rights or obligations granted to you in this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Any assignment in violation of this Agreement is void, except that you may transfer your Software to another person provided that person accepts the terms of this License Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and such decision shall not affect the enforceability of: (i) such provision under other circumstances, or (ii) the remaining provisions hereof under all circumstances. THQ's failure to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by THQ of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, no default, delay or failure to perform on the part of THQ shall be considered a breach of this Agreement if such default, delay or failure to perform is shown to be due to causes beyond the reasonable control of THQ. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California and the United States without regard to its conflicts of laws rules and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Los Angeles County, California.
