As a first step, you may want to make sure that your system meets the minimum requirements. The installation of a few important updates from the Microsoft web site, most notably DirectX (version 8.0 or higher), plus a some specific downloads for older Windows 95 systems, are known to solve most issues.
If you experience problems running the emulator on a Cyrix CPU, you may need to manually activate some settings in the emulation software.
Settings also need to be changed if in some screen modes the lower portion of the screen is not displayed properly. These are explained more in detail in the UAE section of the Amiga Forever documentation.
By default, audio is disabled in some configurations (which are marked by a "-" sign in the configuration name). It can be enabled manually.
If some of the keys which are pressed on the keyboard do not correspond to the characters which appear on screen, then use the Amiga Input Preferences to indicate the correct keyboard language. By default, the Amiga emulation environment is preset for a US-keyboard, which mainly results in certain national characters not being mapped properly on non-US keyboards.
If you use a graphics tablet to control the pointer, some versions of the emulation software require that the tablet be configured in mouse emulation mode (relative moves, rather than absolute moves), or otherwise the Amiga mouse pointer will move erratically. Similar problems with Wacom tablets have been reportedly fixed by installing newer, DirectInput-compatible, Wacom drivers.
If a completely blank screen or window persists for a longer time after the emulation is launched, click once in the black area (with the left mouse button). In many cases this has the effect of speeding up the Amiga boot process.
Additional troubleshooting notes, which apply to the manual configuration of the emulation software, are available in the respective sections of the Amiga Forever documentation.
