3.)	Q.)When I click "Launch Game" from the first menu, a window pops up and says it is missing some file.

	A.)You are probably using a very old version of Windows 95 or 98.  Write down the name of the file you need, 
	   and either look for it on the internet, or email me at thoughtcriminal@europe.com and I will send you the file.

4.)	Q.)The game won't run at all.

	A.)Did you install to a different directory than "C:\ec"?  The game will NOT run if you did.  (This notice is also clearly 
	   printed in the game booklet.

	B.)Try running "C:\ec\ec.exe" (bypasses the first menu) and see if it works.

	C.)Have you tried ALL of the video drivers yet?  For some reason, the game seems to work best at 800x600 or 640x400.  Try those
   	   with the D3D driver.

	D.)If all else fails, e-mail a copy of the file "C:\ec\realityfactory.log" to me at thoughtcriminal@europe.com.

5.)	Q.)Why do the "corpses" of dead subhumans fall through walls?

	A.)Because.  No, seriously the 3rd party engine used for the game was designed for characters that "dissappear" shortly 
	   after death, like in DOOM.  I thought it would be more entertaining to have their "corpses" stick around for a while, so 
   	   I made them "dissappear" VERY SLOWLY.  In other words, to the computer, the "corpse" does not exist, and is therfore exempt 
	   from the laws of physics.  If you hang around a "corpse" long enough, you will see it slowly "dissappear".  Watch out though, 
           because most subhumans respawn (ie. "come back to life") after their corpse dissappears.  (You will notice a few characters 
	   dissappear/respawn very quickly...)

6.)	Q.)I've fallen through walls before and ended up "outside" of the game...Why?

	A.)I don't know.  It could be a problem with the 3rd party game engine, but I really don't know for certain.  It's happened to me
 	   when I used to play DOOM 2, and I think it's just a little 3D "glitch" that happens in 3D games.  I have tried to reinforce some of
	   areas where it happens most often, but it still happens from time to time.  You will just have to restart the game if it does.
	   (It pays to save your game every once in a while!)

7.)	Q.)Why do I hit a black wall when I try to go down the subway tunnel?
	
	A.)Because subway tunnels are very long things, and making an entire subway map for the sake of "realism" would have meant an awful
 	   lot of wasted processor speed and memory.

8.)	Q.)What's that hole in the women's bathroom ceiling about? 

	A.)It's part of a secret room.  See if you can find the entrance.

9.)	Q.)Why does Dr.Pierce's voice and face go "out of sync" during his speech?

	A.)Because the game engine plays video files slower than audio files, and I can't seem to fix it.

10.)	Q.)Why do you advertise "Realistic Negro Sounds" and then only have monkey and ape sounds?

	A.)Because it's funny.

11.)	Q.)How does that crazy Hasidic Jew follow me all through the game in level 2 if I don't kill him?

	A.)You should have killed him.
