5. Troubleshooting Tips
************************************************************

* Problem: My game CD is consistently ejected.

CVGS will eject non-PlayStation CDs. If you put in a CD and it is consistently ejected, it is most likely that you have inserted a CD that isn't a PlayStation CD.

* Problem: I can't return to a game after ejecting the CD.

Some games regularly read from the CD while Connectix Virtual Game Station is paused; ejecting and then re-inserting these games while they are paused may lead to problems when resuming the game. This behavior is game-dependent and occurs on real PlayStation hardware.

* Problem: There is a slow return to my game after pausing.

If a game is paused for more than a short period of time, the CD may spin down. You may see a pause immediately after resuming while the CD spins back up.

* Problem: One of my games is suddenly performing poorly. It used to play well, what happened?

Eject the CD and (holding it by the edges) look at the black side of the disc very closely. Scratches, fingerprints, and dirt can make a significant difference in game performance. Keeping your game CD's in disc holders and regularly cleaning the CD's will extend the life of your games and prevent performance degradation.

* Problem: When I select Electronic Registration or Virtual Game Station Home Page, nothing happens.

The Electronic Registration / Virtual Game Station Home Page features in Connectix VGS require a web browser to be installed on your computer.
