user switching feature in windows.
DEVICE DRIVERS

It is highly recommended that the latest versions of all device
drivers (i.e. video and sound card drivers) be obtained and installed.
Please consult your card manufacturer for their newest drivers. Also,
be aware that video chip manufacturers sometimes provide drivers
in addition to the card manufacturer.
If you are experiencing issues with an unstable PC environment please
make sure your Motherboard drivers (AGP, miniport) are up to date. For
further information please contact your Motherboard manufacturer.
VIDEO & GRAPHICS PROBLEMS
=========================
If you are experiencing performance problems on the default graphics
settings, try lowering the video resolution, or other graphics settings.
Graphic Cards: Graphical settings and features available in-game are
dependant on Graphics Card capabilities. Settings not supported by your
Graphics Card hardware are disabled in the Options Menu to prevent
adverse effects on the game and your computer.
BACKGROUND PROGRAMS
===================
Avoid running other programs in the background, behind Need for Speed ProStreet Demo.
Programs that start up automatically can cause Need for Speed ProStreet Demo
to lose control of the screen, keyboard or mouse, and possibly cause an
unstable PC environment. We strongly recommend that you close, or suspend
applications that start up automatically or programs that automatically run
other applications at specified times, before running Need for Speed ProStreet Demo.
These include, but are not limited to:
- Windows System Agent
- Windows Task Scheduler
- Windows "Disk Cleanup" utilities
Similarly, message boxes and dialog boxes from other programs, or from
Windows itself can cause Need for Speed ProStreet Demo to lose
control of the screen, keyboard or mouse, and possibly cause an unstable PC
environment. We strongly recommend that you shut down all other
applications before running Need for Speed ProStreet Demo.
These include, but are not limited to:
- Email programs
- Calendar, appointment, or contact applications
- Network or Internet chat programs
We recommend that you shut down other applications and run Need for Speed
ProStreet Demo by itself whenever possible.
POWER MANAGEMENT SUSPEND/SLEEP MODES
============================================
Systems (such as laptops or other portables) that automatically power
down into "sleep" or "suspended" modes can cause Need for Speed
ProStreet Demo to lose control of the screen, keyboard or mouse, and possibly
cause an unstable PC environment. We strongly recommend that you
disable these features before running Need for Speed ProStreet Demo.
WINDOWS VIRTUAL MEMORY ISSUES WITH 512 MB RAM
==================================================
If you experience any Virtual Memory issues while running the game, try increasing
the page file size on your hard drive. Please consult the Microsoft Windows help
pages to determine how to change your virtual memory settings.
CHOPPY PLAYBACK DURING VIDEO SEQUENCES
==================================================
If you experience choppy playback during video sequences, try increasing
the page file size on your hard drive. Please consult the Microsoft Windows help
pages to determine how to change your virtual memory settings.

4. CONTROLLER INFORMATION
************************************************** **********
CONTROLLER CONFIGURATIONS
================================
Need for Speed ProStreet Demo can be played with many popular gamepads
and controller devices. If your device is not recognized, or if you'd
like to modify the configuration the game has pre-assigned to your
controller, select ‘Controls’ through the Options menu. The re-mapping
tools in this menu allow you to change your button configuration for optimal play.
CONTROLLER PROBLEMS
=======================
To correct any controller problems, properly configure and calibrate the device
from the Windows Control Panel. If the problem continues to persist,
disconnect the device from your computer before playing Need for Speed
ProStreet Demo. Always ensure the latest manufacturer drivers are installed for
your device.
Examples of Controller Problems:
- Menu items are automatically scrolled through with no user input.
- Your car makes erratic movements that are not intended (such as
continually turning).
- Certain movements do not occur when the proper direction is pressed.
- Sluggish response on slower machines.
KEYBOARD PROBLEMS
=======================
To adjust the feeling\sensitivity of the steering in gameplay when
using the keyboard, enter the Keyboard option in the Windows Control
Panel (Start - Settings - Control Panel) or (Start - Control Panel in Windows Vista).
By adjusting the Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate the user can adjust the controls
to feel more analog or digital depending on their preference.
Some newer keyboards do not allow certain combinations of more than
two keys to be pressed simultaneously. For example, if you were
pressing both the up arrow key to accelerate and the left arrow key to
turn, and you pressed the <C> key to change your view, the view may not
change. Unfortunately, this problem is due to a limitation of the hardware.
While it is possible to bind game controls to the F12, Print Screen and
Windows keys, these keys will also retain their original function and can
interfere with gameplay.
The Windows key is not locked out during gameplay and it will bring
up the start menu during gameplay. This may interfere with gameplay.
