  HAVING TROUBLES
  ---------------
        þ When you load STOCKER.EXE it jams and any execution is stopped.
            Then maybe something in your autoexec.bat or config.sys
            configuration is not compatible with stockers.
             Solution: Create a boot disk and do as here in your config.sys
                       and autoexec.bat file.

                       -Config.sys-
                             DEVICE = HIMEM.SYS
                             FILES = 30
                             BUFFERS = 30

                       -Autoexec.bat-
                             @ECHO OFF
                             PATH=C:\DOS       'Put your usual path
                             C:\DOS\MOUSE      'Put your usual mouse driver


        þ The mouse ain't usable. It does'nt respond.
            Then maybe the games you loaded before stockers did'nt closed
            the port or something like that.
             Solution: Reboot the computer and retry stockers.
                       If the problem persist, then send mail or a
                       fax at the informations at the end of this
                       documentation.


        þ The mouse travel in the screen but jams like if they were
          some thing that blocks it.
            Then maybe my method for loading and using mouse are'nt
            very good and would not be compatible with some mouse
            drivers.
             Solution: Try an other mouse driver.
                       I recommend the one I use: Dexxa 6.20
                          C> Mouse.com cenhance
                       If the problem persist, then unconnect
                       the mouse to be sure your not always having
                       that cursor.Be sure the next version
                       should'nt have those problems.


        þ A "pcx missing file" error appears at a certan time in the
          game loading.
            Then this means that the \PCX\ directory
            doesn't exist or some pcx files have been deleted.
             Solution: - Shareware version: Take back your compressed
                        file and unzip with; PKUNZIP.EXE -d STKV1_0.zip
                       - Official copy: Take your original disk and
                        reinstall stockers. It should work.


        þ Other problems. Than don't be shy and send a fax or others. Use
          the informations above. I'll be glad to help you solving your
          troubles loading stockers on your machine.
