Default Re: Broken links in Online manual

I can confirm this to be a browser problem. I have both IE 5.5. and Netscape 4.76 available. In IE the links are fine, in Netscape the links are broken. Netscape is unable to display the BMP-Files.

I've had similar problems with certain web pages; in particular, I have to use IE to look at e-cards on the Hallmark website.

Micro$oft did some weird things with HTML, Java, etc. It's likely that MM (or Shrapnel) used an IE-centric HTML editor to create the manual, hence the problems using Netscape to read the manual.

As regards the Auto-run, you shouldn't have to disable all Auto-run features for a single CD. It's a bad autorun program on the SE4 disc. However, I'm still waiting for mine (supposed to be delivered today!) so I have nothing to do but complain at this point!

You are right about Auto-run, JeffG.
The easiest solution is to just hold 'Shift' button while inserting CD. Also CD is not required to be in CD-Drive while playing, so that shouldn't be much of the problem.
Btw. you can put in some audio CD and listen to some music of your choice. Also, MP3 music works too, but it will silence all the sounds in the game.
