Installation
"Missing OLEAUT32.DLL"
Occasionally, when installing C.A.T.S, you will get an error message
regarding a file called oleaut32.dll. Please see the readme.txt file on
your cd-rom as this has full instructions on how to deal with this.
It is a rare problem, caused by some other software running on your PC
not allowing the C.A.T.S installer to update this file. The solution is
straight forward and it should only take a few minutes to follow the steps.
Display Errors
There have been a small number of occasions when objects on screen do
not display correctly. If you find that pictures seem to be missing when
you fist run C.A.T.S then just re-start your computer. This will make
sure the graphics files are registered correctly and will cure this problem.
If the "Put In Bar Lines" test does not show the barlines neatly
aligned to the music then you may need to get updated screen or video
card drivers from your computer supplier's website. This is a straight-forward
fix and is only likely to be required on computers which have had hardware
upgrades. (This problem, however, has only occurred three times since
2001 - so is relatively rare.)

then just re-start your computer.

On very early versions of this CD-Rom (prior to version 1.01) the "Hang
Note" section does not have accented letters. If you encounter this,
