    3. Problem: CD version only - Game freezes when running the movies. Solution: This often happens when using a PAS 16. Re-run SETUP and select Sound Blaster, if the Sound Blaster emulation is not enabled, change the PAS 16 DMA to 1 or 3 on the MVSOUND.SYS line in the CONFIG.SYS file.

    4. Problem: CD version only - Can not re-run setup. Solution: Delete the CASTLES2.CFG file located in the C2CD directory.
