I've put together a tip sheet, which includes some things to look for, some things to avoid and some common pitfalls. Hopefully, this will help you, especially those of you new to rating players and even some of those you who have been rating for a while.

There is a new utility available in the download section.  It is a small application that will allow you to edit the DOSBox config file without needing to have knowledge of the config settings themselves.  Makes it nice and simple to get DOSBox installed and APBA Hockey running in minutes.  Simply install DOSBox and then install and run the config utility.  Where it asks for your APBA Hockey directory, simply click "Browse ..." and then use the Windows dialog to select the folder where your hockey.exe resides.  After that you can adjust the CPU Cycles. I use 30000 personally.  If you are only using DOSBox for APBA, then set the SoundBlaster option to 'none' and uncheck 'Enable GUS Emulation.'  Last check Autorun if you would like APBA Hockey to load when you run DOSBox.  Viola!!!! Suddenly, Vista isn't as big a pain as you thought!!! Well, maybe it still is...if only I could solve all Bill Gates' Vista problems this easily....I'd be one rich dude!!!!
