RUNNING FRONTIER : FIRST ENCOUNTERS

It won't Load! Check that you are running the right file and are in complete DOS mode.  If you can't go to DOS mode, see the installation section about downloading the Windows .exe file
How do I start in Ross 154? During the startup screen, if you push 1 on the keyboard then you start at Ross 154 (just like you did in Frontier: Elite II).
I can't load my Commander File! FFE has a bug that means sometimes you save file is saved in an unreadable format.  What can I say!  Just make sure that you save - lots.
I don't have any sound during the game Check you sound installation details, some cards just plain aren't supported.  Also - make sure that your speakers are plugged in and turned on!
My Joystick won't work properly So?  FFE wasn't really made for a joystick - I just use the mouse and keyboard, its far easier.
