Help! My Ta-Ta got stuck on an object or wall! Is this some sort of a cruel trap?
Um...no. It's not suppose to happen but email David Dionisio about it. For now, you will have to restart the level :(.

The game caused me to smash the monitor with my keyboard.
If you think the game is too difficult or frustrating, email David Dionisio.


TECHNICAL
I am getting an error message that a .DLL file is missing when I attempt to start the game. Specifically, the file in question is D3D9.DLL.
Make sure you installed DirectX 9 from microsoft.
The game didn't start or it rebooted my system, what's up with that?
First, check to see if your system matches or surpass the minimum system requirements. Make sure you installed DirectX 9 from microsoft.
...or...
Your Sound Card is somewhat incompatible with the game. Do the following:
open the file called 'game.cfg' found in 'Ta-Ta Mahatta\Main'.
In the section '[audio]', change 'enable=1' to 'enable=0'
The game crashes when I Alt-Tab or when the game minimizes. Why?
Version 1.02 supports Alt-Tabbing. If it still crashes, then you must be using 3DFX video
cards.
The game runs horribly slow...But I have met the minimum system requirements.
Lower the game resolution, this can be done by running the 'Ta-Ta Mahatta Setup'

You might want to update your graphics card drivers.
The level looks all black or the textures look bad, how do I fix this?
Run the game
Go to Options menu
Select Graphics...
Then set 'Level Light' to 'Vertex Lighting'
...or...
Update your graphics card drivers
...or...
Buy a new graphics card.
