SYMPTOMS

When you start Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 99, the introductory audio played
when the Home screen is displayed may be broken up or choppy.

the same time.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods.

- Insert only one of the Encarta Encyclopedia compact discs in the CD-ROM
  changer at any one time. When you are prompted to insert the other Encarta
  Encyclopedia CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, remove the Encarta CD-ROM that is
  currently in the CD-ROM changer before you insert the other disc.

- Disable the display of the Home screen when you start Encarta Encyclopedia
  99. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Start Encarta Encyclopedia 99.

  2. Click Options, and then click Settings.

  3. Click to clear the "Display Home screen when I start Encarta Encyclopedia"
     check box.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia
99.
