of the Preference settings. You can reset the preferences manually.

the pace of the game show. One option lets you skip the Turn Alert screen for a faster pace show. The other option lets you use a manual advance for the scoreboard scene.
2/14/05 - Frequently Asked Questions page. The FAQ information is now on a separate page.
1/25/05 - Script Runtime error: Index out of range. If you receive that error message while running the game show, the most likely cause is your question ratings (easy/medium/hard)
are out of balance. You can easily fix this by opening the PREFERENCES menu, choose SHOW TITLE & SET&UP to open the GAME SHOW SETUP box. Now, look for the
checkbox labeled "Use Difficulty Ratings". Uncheck that box and the program will ignore the ratings of your quiz questions. If you really wanted to use difficulty ratings, go through your
questions in the quiz editor and adjust the difficulty ratings on each question so you have an even distribution. Ideally, if you have a 12 question quiz, you would want 4 easy, 4 medium and
4 hard. This allows the difficulty ratings feature to sort your questions into round 1, 2 and 3 by rating.
