III. Troubleshooting
1. If you receive an error stating "You must have a TNL capable 3D card to play this game" more than likely your video card/chipset does not have full T&L support. To play the game you will have to buy a video card that has one of the chipsets listed under the minimum system requirements. In order for the game to run, your video card must fully support Transform and Lighting (T&L). Hardware T&L is a feature of some graphics cards, which allows the video card to perform advanced polygon transformation and lighting internally. Doing this removes the burden of lighting from your generalized system resources.
2. If you experience issues with graphical corruption or sorting errors, please try the following:
- Select Options from the Main Menu of the game.
- Select Video Options from the Options Menu.
- Make sure Color Depth is set to 32.
3. If you are experiencing sound problems during game play, try the following:
- Double-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop, or right-click on the icon and choose the Open option.
- Double-click on the Control Panel icon.
- Find the Multimedia icon and double-click on it.
- On the Audio tab, click on the Advanced Properties button under Playback.
- Select Basic Hardware acceleration from the Performance tab.
- Click on OK.
- Restart the game.
4. If you experience difficulties with your joystick or controller, please try recalibrating the device using the following steps:
- Double-click on My Computer from your desktop.
- Double-click on Control Panel.
- Double-click on Gaming Options.
- Select your controller and click on Properties.
- You should be able to calibrate your device from this screen. Once this is complete, restart Spider-Man Movie.
5. It is not advisable to connect or disconnect a USB device while this program is running.
6. ALT+TAB is not a supported feature of SPIDER-MAN MOVIE.
