Just Cause Demo
README file Version 1.0
Please read through this document. It contains vital information to
successfully run Just Cause Demo on your system.
1.1 DirectX
This game is optimised for Microsoft's DirectX 9.0c. In order for you to play
the game, you must have DirectX 9.0c compliant drivers for your video card and
sound card. Please note that although DirectX 9.0c is installed with the game,
your video and sound card drivers will not be upgraded to DirectX 9.0c drivers.
You will need to obtain the latest DirectX 9.0c drivers from your card
manufacturer or PC supplier. These drivers cannot be supplied by Eidos.
1.2 Memory and Performance
While the game will run fine in 512 Mb of RAM, your playing experience will be
smoother if you have at least 1024 Mb.
Regardless of how much memory you have, you can maximize your available memory
and increase the overall performance of the game engine by doing the
following:
Closing any open windows
Shutting down all other programs, including menu-bar programs and other
applications running in the background.
Defragmenting your hard drive
Eidos recommends that you have no other programs running at all while playing
Just Cause Demo. Other programs, including virus checkers, system utilities and
screen savers can cause system degradation when playing games software and may
conflict with the game for system resources, potentially resulting in
instability and crashes.
1.3 Drivers
Important: Ensure you have the latest drivers installed before starting the
game.

Preparing Your Hard Drive
To ensure that your installation is trouble free, you should check to see that
your hard drive and file system are both tuned for optimum performance. Windows
comes with two utility programs that find and fix any errors and optimise your
hard drive performance. The first of these programs is called scandisk.
Scandisk will check your hard drive for problems and can fix any that it finds.
You can run scandisk by clicking on the Start button from the Windows Taskbar,
followed by Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and finally
scandisk.
Once scandisk has finished running, you should next optimise your hard drive's
performance by running a program called Disk Defragmenter. You can run Disk
Defragmenter by clicking on the Start button from the Windows desktop,
followed by Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and finally Disk
Defragmenter.
Installing Just Cause Demo
You will be prompted to select the path and directory to which you wish to
install the game on your hard drive. The default is
C:\Program Files\Eidos\Just Cause Demo
You may change this if you wish to.
At some point, the Microsoft DirectX 9.0c install prompt will appear if you do
not have it on your system already. Please read the on-screen information
before selecting an option. You may either choose to install or not install at
this time. If the Just Cause Demo installer detects an active version of
DirectX 9.0c on your system, we encourage you to not reinstall DirectX. If the
installer does not detect DirectX 9.0c, you must install it before you are able
to play Just Cause Demo (please refer to the next section of this guide before
proceeding).
Starting/Loading The Game
Once the install has finished the Launch Panel will appear on the screen.
Simply click on the Play button to start the game.
You may also:
Click on the ReInstall button to recover a damaged installation.
Click on the Install DirectX 9.0c button to install the required version of
DirectX.
Click on the Game Setup button to change the game settings.
Click on the View Readme button to view the readme file.
Click on the Exit button to exit the Launch Panel.

1.5 FAQ
When I start Just Cause Demo, my mouse cursor disappears and my computer
locks-up.
Chances are your installed audio card drivers are not compatible with DirectX.
The only solution is to get a DirectX 9.0c -compatible driver from your audio
card manufacturer.
When I start Just Cause Demo, I receive the following error message:
"The application JustCauseDemo.exe referenced memory at address xxxx:xxxx that
can't be read from."
Its likely that your installed video card drivers are not compatible with
DirectX. The only solution is to get a DirectX 9.0c -compatible driver from
your video card manufacturer.
The Installer keeps stopping when a certain percentage is complete.
There are three likely causes:
You may have run out of free space on your hard drive. Please remove unwanted
programs to free up additional space for the game, and then reinstall Just
Cause Demo.
Files are possibly being copied to a corrupted area of your hard drive. If this
is so, you'll need to run the scandisk program and make sure to use the Thorough
option (see previous). After scandisk has finished running and has informed you
that your drive is free of errors, try to re-install.
There may be dirt or fingerprints on the DVD-ROM disc itself. Examine the
bottom of the disc; if you see any fingerprints or dirt, carefully clean the
disc using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth by wiping from the centre of the disc
(near the hole) towards the outer edge in a straight line.
Just Cause Demo is crashing to the desktop with no error messages.
This problem can be caused by several different things. Here's a list of the
most common culprits associated with these crashes:
Make sure the CD-ROM (If applicable) is clean (check for both scratches and
smudges on the reading surface of the CD-ROM).
Make sure the game has been installed properly.
Make sure DirectX 9.0c has been installed properly.
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card and that they are
DirectX 9.0c -compatible.
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your sound card and that they are
DirectX 9.0c -compatible.
Make sure Virtual Memory is enabled on your system.
Run Scandisk.
Run Disk Defragmenter.
Try exiting the game, rebooting your machine, and re-entering the game.
Note: That if your system crashes to the desktop while playing Just Cause
Demo, you should probably reboot your computer before starting a new play
session. Otherwise, DirectDraw or DirectSound may be in a locked state, and
the game will be unable to use your sound or video hardware.
