Read-Me For
Beavis And Butt-head in
Little Thingies*
*Game Thingies, Dillweed!


Welcome and thanks for purchasing the only CD-ROM game that doesn't 
suck, MTV's Beavis and Butt-head in Little Thingies. This is gonna be cool.
You have purchased seven games, four classics from MTV's Beavis and Butt-head
in Virtual Stupidity, and three all new orginal games.  Enjoy.

The Goods (System Requirements)
Although we recommend a system that is a bit more souped up, the 
following list reflects the PC system requirements to run this CD-ROM 
properly.

	*  486 DX33 Minimum; Pentium Processor Recommended
	*  Sound Blaster or 100% Compatible Sound Card
	*  Double Speed CD-ROM Drive Minimum
	*  8 Megabytes Memory Minimum; 16 Megabytes Recommended
	*  Mouse
	*  Local Bus Video Card
	*  Windows '95

First Things First (Getting Started)
In order to run Little Thingies, first start Windows '95. Place the 
"Little Thingies" cd in your cd player, wait a few seconds, the install 
will begin automatically. After indicating your acceptance of the 
license agreement, then follwow the on screen prompts.   Then, click on 
the "Start" icon, usally in the upper or lower left-hand corner of the 
screen.  Move the mouse over "Programs", then "Little Thingies", then click 
on the game you wish to play.., you will be offered the main Game Menu, 
from which you can begin game play by clicking on the "New Game" button.
Soon afterward, you can find yourself (Beavis & Butt-head) at  Burger 
World, or Highland High or many other locations in Highland.  Help on 
game controls and rules is available anytime during the game by either 
hitting the "F1" key, or choosing "Help" from the menu bar.

Pick That Up, Dillhole (Game Controls)
Beavis and Butt-head aren't the smartest kids around, but with your 
help, they could become the coolest. To control your player you can 
either use the mouse alone, or the mouse and the keyboard together.  
Here's how.

MOUSE

Use the mouse to move the cursor anywhere on the screen.  Depending on 
the game, you will hold the left mouse button down, then release, 
Hock-a-loogie, or point and click.

KEYBOARD

The keyboard allows you to use short-cuts to change your selected icon, 
or get to the Inventory.  These short-cuts are also listed with the 
descriptions of what each action icon does, but here's the short list, 
so relax dude.

SPACE BAR	Exit opening legal screens
HELP		Keyboard shortcut is "F1"
NEW GAME	Keyboard shortcut is "N" except in Air Guitar.
<ALT>		will take you out of full screen mode back into windowed mode.

Trouble Shooting/Product Support

Q:  	If a mini-game runs too slow.  Make it go faster.

A:	There are several methods of making your game run faster.

	1. Change the window size of Little Thingies.  This is probably 
           the easiest and most effective way of making the both the 
           game and the videos run smoother (other than buying a new 
           computer).  Go to "Window" on the menu bar of the game and 
           click on any of the sizes that are smaller than the one you 
           are currently in.

	2. You can also try Full Screen mode.  This takes up your 
           entire screen but the game will run faster on most computers.
           Since there is no menu bar, you'll have to use keyboard 
           short-cuts or hit  <ALT> to exit out of full screen mode.

	3. Change your color resolution.  By changing how many colors 
           your desktop uses you can speed up video performance.  The 
           more colors your desktop is working in, the slower 
           everything will be.  Little Thingies needs at least 256 
           colors, but will not use any more than 256.  So, as you can 
           guess, 256 color mode is the best mode to run Little 
           Thingies in.

Q:	The graphics of the game looked warped or stretched out, is 
        this normal?

A:	If you change the size of the window to anything other than 1x,
        2x, 3x, or full-screen you are probably warping the game window (things 
        will be taller, flatter, etc.).  Also, when the game starts it 
        automatically expands to x2.  If your desktop resolution is set 
        at 640x480 the game will expand to try to fill your window.  
        This will also cause a small amount of warping.  To get an 
        absolutely picture-perfect view of this lovely game, try these 
        sizes when playing:
	
        640x480 Desktop		use x1 or full screen
	800x600 Desktop		use x1, x2 or full screen
	1024x768 Desktop 	use x1, x2, x3 or full screen

Q:	There's no sound.  Is there an incompatibility with my sound 
        card?

A:	Since Little Thingies is a Windows 95 game, as long as your 
        sound card is working correctly with Windows 95 it should work 
        correctly with Little Thingies.  Try running the Media Player 
        that comes with Windows 95 to test your sound.

Q:	There's no INSTALL or SETUP program.  How do I get Beavis & 
        Butt-Head running?

A:	Little Thingies is an auto-play CD product.  This means that 
        all you have to do is put it in the CD-ROM drive and it will 
        start itself.  

Q:	I have placed the Beavis and Butthead cd in my machine, but the 
        game did not setup, why?

A:	Auto-Run will not function if you do not have the Windows 95 
        drivers for your Cd Rom.  Click on the cd icon than double 
        click on setup.

Q:	Why doesn't Beavis & Butt-Head start when my screen saver is 
        running?

A:	Auto-play products like Little Thingies will not de-activate 
        your screen saver before running.  The game is actually running 
        when you put the CD in, but the screen saver has control of the 
        screen.  Just de-activate the screen saver by shaking the mouse 
        a little and you'll see Little Thingies.

Q:	Why does Little Thingies not run when I'm running another 
        program that uses sound?

A:	Only one application in Windows 95 can use the sound card at 
        once.  If you try to use two programs at once that use sound, 
        Little Thingies will give you an error message.  Just quit the 
        other application and then go back to Little Thingies.  

Q:	I know that there aren't any other programs running that are 
        using sound, but sometimes Little Thingies gives me an error 
        message when I click on the menu bar options.  What's causing 
        this?

A:	You most likely have sounds attached to clicking on the menu 
        bar.  Does your computer make a sound whenever you select an 
        item from the menu bar?  If so, this is the cause of the 
        problem.  Since Windows 95 is playing sound effects for 
        clicking on the menu bar Little  Thingies thinks that another 
        program is using sound.  Just click on "retry" when the error 
        message pops up; the game will still run correctly.

Q:	The Air Guitar mini-game doesn't show any of the songs I saved, 
        what's wrong with it?

A:	You probably saved your songs with and extension other than 
        ".AIR".  Just rename your song files so they do have that 
        extension (e.g., if your song was "Blah", rename it "Blah.AIR") 
        and then run Air Guitar and try loading those songs.
