SYMPTOMS
========

When you use Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 99, you may encounter the following
symptoms:

- Encarta Encyclopedia 99 may start more slowly than you expect.

- Media clips may be played very slowly.

changer at the same time.


RESOLUTION
==========

To work around these issues, use either of the following methods:

- Insert only one of the Encarta 99 discs in the CD-ROM changer at any given
  time. When you are prompted to insert the other Encarta Encyclopedia CD-ROM,
  remove the disc that is currently in the CD-ROM changer before you insert the
  other Encarta CD-ROM.

- Disable the display of the Home screen when you start Encarta Encyclopedia
  99. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Start Encarta Encyclopedia 99.

  2. Click Options, and then click Settings.

  3. Click to clear the "Display Home screen when I start Encarta Encyclopedia"
     check box.

  4. Quit and then restart Encarta Encyclopedia 99.
