childs information.
The HUD contains the following information:
1. Health - When you run out of health or fail at an objective, the level will restart from the
last checkpoint. If no checkpoint has been passed, the level will restart from the beginning. The
health meter surrounds a portrait of the currently selected character.
2. Energy Meter - This meter becomes depleted when the children use their special abilities.
Peter/Edmund
This represents how much energy Peter and Edmunds attacks have. Performing special moves and
power hits will cause the bar to deplete faster. Performing multiple hits (3+ or higher) against
enemies will cause the bar to regenerate faster.
Susan
For Susan, the energy bar represents how much ammo she currently has to throw or fire.
When Susan receives her Gift Bow from Father Christmas, the arrow quiver will slowly replenish
itself over time.
Lucy
This reflects how much healing power Lucy has for her First Aid ability and Fire Flower Cordial.
The energy bar is depleted each time she uses her healing abilities. Lucy must collect green
crosses to replenish the First Aid Kit. The Fire Flower Cordial will slowly replenish itself over time.
3. Coins - Depicts how many coins have been collected, which can be used in the Inventory to
purchase upgrades.
4. Character Icon - Many enemies and obstructions require specific skills to defeat. In these
cases, an icon will appear in the center-top of the screen that displays an image of the enemy,
obstruction or required item. If a Team Up ability is required, the symbol for the Team Up
ability will appear within the icon.
5. Team Up Charge Meter - Team Up Upgrades purchased from the Inventory screen require time
to charge before they can be used. When you team children that you have already purchased an
upgrade for, a charge meter, will appear on the HUD. Once the meter has fully charged, press
Power Attack to perform the upgraded Team Up move. Once activated, the meter will be reset
to zero and begin to recharge.
6. Bonus Shields - Depicts how many Bonus Shields have been collected. Collecting all of
the Bonus Shields for each level unlocks bonus Items, which can be found in the drawer at
the bottom of the Wardrobe on the Level Select screen.
7. Statues - Depicts how many statues have been collected. Statues are used to purchase
reinforcements for the final battle against the White Witchs army.
8. Second Player HUD - The Health, Character Portrait, Energy Meter and Team Up Charge Meter
for the second player will appear in the top-right corner of the screen.
Using the Environment
Throughout the adventure, the children will interact with the environment in a variety of
ways, both for offensive and defensive purposes.
Snowballs
Lucy can balance on top of snowballs and roll them with her feet. This allows here to get
items normally out of reach. Peter, Susan and Edmund can roll snowballs from place to place.
Stick Bundles
Use these to smash through enemies and obstructions. Set them on fire to do even more damage.
Pushing and Pulling Large Objects
Peter and Susan can push and pull large objects to block off or gain access to areas.Hiding
Sometimes the best thing that the children can do is hide. Find the specially marked spots and
press Activate to hide.
Creatures of Narnia
Ankle Slicers
Small, quick and wicked, Ankle Slicers brandish long, sharp blades that they use to slash with
as they tear about at high speed.
Minoboars
The Minoboar is a stocky opponent that shares a similar resemblance to the Minotaur. When faced
with an adversary, the Minoboar will attempt to gore and then attack swiftly at very close quarters.
Minotaurs
The Minotaur is a fearsome opponent. It wields a huge sword, which it uses to scythe through its
foes, and it is clad in thick armor that must be smashed before the Minotaur can be damaged.
It will also use its head to charge at opponents, sending them flying when hit.
Ogres
Though slow and dim-witted, Ogres are large and powerful opponents. They wield huge clubs that
create shockwaves when smashed into the ground and they throw boulders at enemies that
are too far away to be clobbered.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Basics
There are several things you can do to make sure that your computer system realizes the
full potential of the program.
1. Determine if any changes have been made to the system.
A frequent source of conflict between hardware and software is a system configuration
change. If an error occurs after making a change to the configuration of your system
(i.e., adding new hardware, updating drivers, installing another program), then that
system change is a likely source of the problem. Refer to the manufacturers instructions
to verify that the proper installation procedure was used and note any incompatibility
issue or system modifications listed in the documentation.
2. Isolate the source of the problem.
The program itself does not necessarily cause errors that occur when running a software
program. These errors may be caused by the operating system, a conflict between hardware
settings, another program running in the background, or an obsolete driver, which has not
been updated to work with the systems newer components. Determine exactly when and where
the problem occurs, and whether or not the problem also occurs with other software programs.
Also determine what other system activities are taking place when the problem occurs.
Determining the exact circumstances under which a problem occurs often points to a solution.
3. Determine if the error can be reproduced.
Restart the program and test for the error. If the same error occurs in the same location,
uninstall the program, reinstall the program, restart the system, and then run the program
again. If the error recurs, determine if a similar error occurs with other software programs.
If it does, the source of the problem may be one of the systems hardware components. Refer
to your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer to determine if an updated driver
or system modification will resolve the issue.
4. Verify that your system meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements of the program.
If your system does not meet any one of the minimum requirements, the program will not run properly.
5. Verify that all external cables and connections are secure.
Also ensure that power, settings, and option controls for all system components are set
appropriately. Refer to your hardware documentation or consult your hardware manufacturer
for additional information.
6. Exit all other programs and applications when installing or running the program.
Exit any active screen savers, utility programs, anti-virus programs, or shell programs to
ensure that the maximum amount of RAM is available for your system to run the program as
quickly and smoothly as possible. Also exit any automatic power saving utilities or other
timing programs like an anti-virus program that scans your hard disk every hour or a power
management utility that shuts down all non-essential system functions during idle periods.
If a timing program or screen saver activates during installation or during play, the program
may crash or experience other technical difficulties.
Frequently Asked Questions
A. What can be done to ensure that my sound card will play the programs audio files with
the best possible performance?
1. Change Supplemental cache size or the Optimize access pattern for settings.
* If the program locks up or other performance issues occur in Windows 2000, adjust the
Supplemental cache size or the Optimize access pattern for settings from the File System
Properties CD-ROM tab in the Performance window of System Properties. Make only one change
at a time, so that the source of the problem can be isolated. After making a change, restart
the program and test for the error. If the error recurs, continue selecting alternate settings,
 until the conflict is resolved. If the error cannot be eliminated, restore your original
settings and contact your hardware manufacturer.
Refer to your hardware documentation for the most complete information on making system
modifications to your particular computer.
B. What can be done to ensure that my video card will display the programs video, animations, and
graphics with the best possible performance?
1. Verify that Windows 2000/XP is managing Virtual Memory.
* Right-click on the My Computer icon, and select Properties from the resulting menu.
* Click on the Advanced tab to bring it forward, and then select the Settings button within the
Performance section.
* In the Performance Options window, click on the Advanced tab to bring it forward, and then select the
Change button in the Virtual Memory section. Check that "System managed size" is selected.
2. Verify that the configuration of each system component does not conflict with another system
component.
* Click on the Start button and point to Settings, then select Control Panel. In the
Control Panel window, double-click on System then click on the Device Manager tab to display a
list of system components. If there is a conflict, a warning icon will appear next to the
component with the conflicting setting. Select the component, and then click on the Properties
button for more information. If there are no conflicts, make sure that Windows is running with
optimum performance by clicking on the Performance tab and reading the system evaluation.
If there are conflicts or your system is not running with optimum performance, refer to your
hardware documentation or contact your computers manufacturer.
3. Verify that there is plenty of free disk space on your hard drive.
* In addition to the hard drive space needed to install program and support files, Windows and
other programs need enough free hard drive space to use for virtual memory, temporary files,
and other system activities. Delete any files or programs that are no longer used and archive
any files or programs that are used less frequently to another storage volume. You should also
delete any orphaned temporary files to maximize free hard disk space and ensure that your system
is operating smoothly and efficiently. Orphaned temporary files are usually created when the
computers power switch is turned off, without first exiting Windows.
Refer to your hardware documentation for the most complete information on making system
modifications to your particular computer.
C. What can be done to ensure that my system will run the program with the best
possible performance?
1. Verify that the latest version of your video cards proprietary driver is properly
installed on your system.
* Video card and computer system manufacturers are constantly updating their video card
drivers so that their hardware can play the latest software programs with the best
possible performance. If you have not updated your video card driver recently, you may
want to consider doing so to ensure that your system runs all programs with optimum
performance.
2. Maximize the available free memory
* Exit all programs that appear in the Task List (except Explorer and Systray) and
disabling any utilities that load at startup. Programs that run in the background,
like anti-virus programs, screen savers, energy savers, or other programs that may
not appear to be open, can activate when you are installing or running the program
and lock up the system or take away system resources.
3. Lower the Hardware Acceleration setting
* If the problem continues, lower the Hardware Acceleration setting within the Advanced
Graphics Settings window in the Performance tab of System Properties. After making a
change, restart the program and test for the error. If the error recurs, continue

DirectX Troubleshooting
This program is designed to use Microsoft's DirectX 9.0c or higher technology, which provides
components and drivers to enhance every aspect of high performance applications.
In order to run this program with the best possible performance, your video card and sound card should
be DirectX 9.0c-compatible with certified DirectX 9.0c drivers properly installed. If you experience
sound or display difficulties, a likely source of the issue is an outdated or incompatible driver.
To verify that you have DirectX 9.0c certified drivers installed on your system, run the DirectX
Diagnostics (DXDIAG) program that is copied to your hard drive when this program is installed. This
program displays version and status information for your sound and display drivers, as well as all
other DirectX components installed on your system.
To open the DirectX Diagnostics Tool, proceed as follows:
1. From the Windows Taskbar, click on Start and select Run.
2. In the Open: field, type DXDIAG. Click on OK or press the Enter key on your keyboard. The program
will begin to gather information about your system and the Diagnostics Tool will open with the System
tab in the foreground.
NOTE: If your system is unable to locate a copy of DXDIAG, it most likely means that a recent
version of DirectX is not installed on your computer. You may download a recent version of
DirectX from the Microsoft web-site at the following address:
****://www.microsoft.com/directx/homeuser/downloads/default.asp
When DXDIAG starts, the following tabs will be displayed: System, DirectX Files, Display, Sound,
Music, Input, Network, and More Help.
The System tab contains system information about the computer and specifies the version of DirectX
installed on your computer. The system information includes: system date, computer name, operating
system version and language, processor type, memory, swapfile size, and DirectX version.
The DirectX Files tab contains the filenames and version numbers for all DirectX files installed
on the computer. If DXDIAG detects any problems with any DirectX files, a warning will be displayed
in the Notes box.
The Display tab contains detailed information about your display settings, and allows you to disable
hardware acceleration for DirectDraw, Direct3D, and AGP Texture. On this tab, you can also test
DirectDraw, Direct3D, and AGP Texturing. If DXDIAG detects any problems with any display settings or
driver files, a warning will be displayed in the Notes box. Be sure to note the Name of your video
card and the amount of video RAM that it contains.
The Sound tab contains detailed information about the sound card settings and driver.
On this tab, you can test DirectSound and lower the Sound Hardware Acceleration Level.
If DXDIAG detects any problems with the sound card or driver files, a warning will be displayed
in the Notes box.
The Music tab contains the current MIDI settings. On this tab, you can test DirectMusic.
If DXDIAG detects any problems with any MIDI settings, a warning will be displayed in the Notes box.
The Input tab contains the input devices (Joystick, Gamepad, Steering Wheel) connected to the
computer and the input drivers installed on the computer.
The Network tab contains a list of the Network drivers installed and running on the computer.
From this tab you may test DirectPlay.
At any time during the troubleshooting, the DirectX information can be saved to a text file
by clicking on the Save All Information button.
NOTE: If your sound and display drivers are not listed as Certified, contact your
computer manufacturer to verify that the drivers currently installed on your system are the
latest available and that they are compatible with DirectX. If Certified drivers are not
available, drivers that are compatible, but not certified, should run the program with an
acceptable level of performance. If your sound and video card drivers are not compatible
with DirectX, the program may not run properly.
Updating Drivers
Installing the latest available driver for your video card, sound card, and CD-ROM drive
can result in a variety of benefits, including increased system performance, new component
features, or the elimination of a technical problem. If your computer locks up, the video
appears choppy, or the screen goes black, an updated video driver may solve the problem.
An updated sound driver may result in crisper, clearer sound. A new CD-ROM driver can add
new features while eliminating lockups and error messages.
Computer system and component manufacturers are constantly updating their drivers so that
their hardware can play the latest software programs with the best possible performance.
If you determine that your system is not using the latest driver, or your current driver
is dated earlier than one year prior to todays date, you should consider obtaining an
updated driver.
If your video card, sound card, and CD-ROM drive were included with your system at the time
of purchase, contact the manufacturer of your computer system about obtaining the latest
version of a driver. If you have purchased a system component separately from your computer
system, contact the component manufacturer to obtain the latest version of the driver.
Updated drivers are frequently available from the Internet.
Refer to your hardware documentation for contact information. Please be aware that charges
may be incurred.
