1.0
SUMMARY
In level 20 of Chip's Challenge, Chip must collect 15 computer
chips and make his way through bugs, tanks, and pink balls to get
to the Exit Square.
However, even if Chip doesn't pick up one computer chip, he may
still exit this level. This is because there is no Cosmic Chip
Socket to place the computer chips into.
MORE INFORMATION
In this level, titled Tossed Salad, Chip has 400 seconds to pick
up 15 computer chips and complete the maze.
In levels that have computer chips to collect, Chip is required
to pick up all the computer chips to pass through the Cosmic Chip
Socket before he can go through the Exit Square.
Unfortunately, in this level, there is no Cosmic Chip Socket, so
Chip may exit the maze without picking up a single chip.
Chip's Challenge: Two Bear Traps Won't Release
in Level 70

The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows, Volume 4 - Microsoft
Best of Entertainment Pack for Windows, version 1.0
SUMMARY
In level 70 of Chip's Challenge, Chip must pass over several
brown buttons that release different monsters from bear traps.
The monsters chase Chip as he makes his way through the maze.
However, two of the brown buttons, one on the lower-left part of
the maze and one on the lower-right part of the maze, do not
activate the bear traps associated with them. As a result, Chip
can pass around two of the monsters without being hindered.
MORE INFORMATION
In this level, titled Nightmare, Chip has 199 seconds to complete
the maze. Chip does not have to pick up any computer chips, but
he does have to be quick to avoid capture by any monsters.
Several brown buttons along the route of the maze release a
monster from a bear trap. Chip must avoid these monsters to
finish.
In separate areas of the maze, two of the bear traps, one holding
a paramecia and the other holding a tooth monster do not get
activated when Chip passes over the associated brown buttons. As
a result, Chip has easy passage through these parts of the maze.
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
GP Fault in Chip's Challenge When Playing at
Level 104
Last reviewed: December 14, 1995
Article ID: Q113197
The information in this article applies to:
•Microsoft Windows Entertainment Pack volume 4
SUMMARY
In level 104 of Chips Challenge, "The Jailer", Chip is
surrounded by four colored keys. Once Chip is moved, pink balls
start rolling across the screen. If Chip is moved onto a square
that displays a key, and a pink ball moves onto the same square
at the same time, an application error will occur followed by a
general protection (GP) fault. Once the error message occurs, the
Chip's Challenge game closes.
WORKAROUND
Avoid moving Chip onto a square that displays a key if, at the
same time, a pink ball moves onto that square.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows
Entertainment Pack volume 4. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as
it becomes available. \
