How about a book that retains its value after you complete your favorite game? Better yet, how about a book that helps you figure out how to get that darn game to run properly? This handy little guide from Prima can do just that. The book addresses an array of common PC problems and offers advice on how to correct them. Missing DLLs, hardware conflicts, 3-D accelerators, and Internet performance issues are just a few of the many issues covered. You'll also learn about Windows 98 and what new benefits and drawbacks it brings to the table for gamers. This book even covers Windows 3.1 gaming. Finally, for the truly dedicated gamer, you'll find a section on getting DOS games to run properly. (If you've ever kept a stack of boot disks next to your PC, you're sure to appreciate this part of the guide). Just an all-around handy resource to have at your disposal, this little book would be right at home in any gamer's library. --Michael Ryan
