Optimizing Graphical Performance
==================================================================
Medal of Honor Airborne Demo automatically selects a default
graphical configuration that should be well-suited to your
system's specifications. However, you may adjust the game's
graphical configuration to suit your preference by opening
the "Medal of Honor Airborne Demo Setup".
To access the "Medal of Honor Airborne Demo Setup," click the "Start"
button in the Windows taskbar, then click "Programs", then click
"Electronic Arts", and then click "Medal of Honor Airborne Demo" in
Windows XP.
In Windows Vista click the "Start" button in the Windows taskbar,
then click "All Programs", then click "Electronic Arts", and
then click "Medal of Honor Airborne Demo."
To achieve better performance, lower settings are recommeded.
==================================================================
Known Issues
==================================================================
You may experience problems attempting to run the game with a
monitor set to "portrait mode"--that is, if your monitor is set
to display content vertically instead of in a traditional 4:3 or
16:9 aspect ratio. Medal of Honor Airborne Demo only
supports monitors running in standard 4:3 modes or widescreen
16:9 modes.
For users experiencing problems with Creative Sound Blaster Audigy
cards running under Windows Vista it is recommended that they lower
settings to improve performance.
As of the date posted at the top of this ReadMe file, Windows
Vista is compatible with ATI-based video cards with Radeon
X1300 Pro chipsets and above, in addition to NVIDIA-based video cards
with GeForce 6600 GT series chipsets and above. By extension, the
game is compatible with these chipsets on Windows Vista
machines.
If you have an NVIDIA SLI or ATI Crossfire video cards setup, we
recommend you not use the “Force Split Frame Rendering” option.
This option actually degrades performance in Medal of Honor Airborne Demo.
NOTE: NVIDIA SLI and ATI Crossfire modes are not supported
in Medal of Honor Airborne Demo.
If you are having audio problems with SigmaTel sound cards, download
the latest drivers and adjust your audio settings.
NOTE: SigmaTel sound cards are not supported in Medal of Honor Airborne Demo.

Audio Information
==================================================================
If some of the audio in the game seems to be missing, this is
likely due to your speaker settings. If your speaker settings are

"Sounds and Audio Devices".
4. Under the "Speaker settings" heading, click "Advanced".

menu.
6. Click "OK".
