                  3.  OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE

=============================================================

The most important thing you can do to optimize bleem!'s speed
and performance on any PC is to make sure you have the very
latest drivers available.

bleem! uses DirectX 6.0, so new drivers are essential for
optimum performance.  Be sure to read the next section for
further information!

If you already have directX 6.0 or later installed, continue.
bleem! emulates the functions of several dedicated processors
working in parallel, all on your PC.  As a result, you may be
able to increase performance in various areas by reducing the
load placed on your processor by certain non-game essential
functions.

Quick Tips:

To smooth sound playback during MDEC Movies, try setting the
movie to black-and-white only.  (Colour Movies are disabled
in the demo version.)

If sound is jerky or "drops out", reduce the sampling rate
and the bit level until a more enjoyable level is attained.

On systems with larger monitors, many users get much better
performance operating in "full screen" mode.  (The memory
used by the background texture on your desktop is released
for bleem!)

      4. HOW TO TELL IF YOU NEED TO INSTALL NEW DRIVERS

=============================================================

In general, if our website lists a game as being compatible
with bleem!, it should run on any system that meets our
hardware requirements.

Users who have experienced difficulties have generally been
able to trace the problem back to outdated drivers for video,
sound, or CD-ROM drives.

If bleem! will not launch on your system, if many games that
appear on our compatability list do not run, or if sound and
graphics are jerky, even on a fast system, you probably need
new drivers.

For more information on drivers and where to find the most
current versions, see the "help!" section on our website at
www.bleem.com.

If, after installing DirectX 6.1 and the most current drivers
for your software, you are still experiencing problems, please
email us at support@bleem.com and we will respond as soon as
possible.
