Frequently Asked Questions
(Note: If you acquired this game as part of the General Mills Cereal
promotion, and have questions about the America Online software
component, please call AOL directly at 1-800-509-7538.)
Hints and Tips
* When you are using the Tongue Depressor, get the frog out of the
patient's throat just as fast as you can, before the Doctor has time to
throw more food into his mouth!
* When you are using the Syringe, remember the key is to kill the
prescribed number of viruses, not to work through the maze.
* When using the Tank, the objective is to shoot all of the bubbles
coming from the patient's stomach, using the mouse to rotate and the
mouse button to shoot.
System Requirements
The following is a description of the minimum system requirements for
Operation. If your system does not meet or exceed these requirements,
then the game will run incorrectly, or not at all.
- IBM PC or 100% compatible computer
- Pentium 120 MHz or faster processor
- Windows 95 or 98
- 16 MB RAM
- 40 MB available hard drive space
- 8X or faster CD-ROM drive
- SVGA-compatible video card*
- Windows 95/98/ME compatible sound card*
* Compatible with DirectX version 5.2 or higher
Installation
This game supports the Windows AutoPlay feature. Simply insert the
installation CD into your CD-ROM drive and wait for the installation
screen to appear. Then, simply follow the onscreen instructions to
complete the installation.
If the AutoPlay program does not start automatically:
1. Double click the My Computer icon on your Windows desktop
2. Double click the game icon.
3. Double-click the LaunchOperation.exe icon.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
DirectX Installation:
This game requires that Microsoft's DirectX version 5.2 be installed on
your computer prior to playing the game. Windows 98 Second Edition and ME
users already meet this requirement, and do not need to install anything
extra. Normally, if this is necessary, it will happen at the end of the
installation process automatically.
If you are running Windows 95 or the first version of 98 and do not
already have DirectX version 5.2 or higher installed on your machine, or
you need to re-install it for any reason, just follow these steps:
1. Insert the game CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Double click on the "My Computer" icon.
3. RIGHT click on the game icon.
4. LEFT click on "Open".
5. Double click the "Directx" folder
6. Double click the Dxsetup icon.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
8. Ignore any warnings you may receive by clicking on YES.
9. Restart Windows to complete the installation.
WARNING: While DirectX 5.2 should be able to determine what version of
DirectX currently resides on a system and halt the installation if it
deems it to be harmful or unnecessary, you should NOT attempt to install
DirectX 5.2 on a Windows system running a more recent version of DirectX.
You could cause permanent damage to your computer!
How to determine what version of DirectX you have installed on your
Windows 95 or 98 system:
1. Click Start, then Run.
2. In the Open box, type "DXDIAG"
3. If the DirectX Diagnostic Tool launches, you are at least running
DirectX 5.0. To see what version, note the bottom line in the System
Information box on the first page, "DirectX Version". Click Exit in the
lower right hand corner of the window when you are finished.
4. If you receive an error that starts with "Cannot find the file
'DXDIAG'...", then click OK, which should return you to Step 2. Type
"DXINFO"
5. If this launches a DXINFO program, the left-hand pane contains
information about what version of DirectX is installed, with the version
number in the hundredths slot of the "DirectX Version (Registry)" entry.
(For example, 4.05 is DirectX 5.)
6. If you receive the error in Step 4 again, you do not have DirectX
installed on your system. Follow the directions above to install it.
Troubleshooting
Installation Problems:
"Nothing happens when I insert the game CD into my CD-ROM drive."
The AutoPlay feature may be turned off on your computer.
If you wish to install the game without enabling AutoPlay, you can start
the setup process manually by double clicking on the "My Computer" icon
on your Windows desktop, then on your CD-ROM drive icon, then on
"SETUP.EXE".
If a CD-ROM icon does not appear when you open the "My Computer" icon, or
if clicking on SETUP.EXE doesn't start your game either, then your CD-ROM
drive may be in "MS-DOS compatibility mode".
- To learn how to enable AutoPlay on your system, or to learn how to see
if your CD-ROM drive is in MS-DOS compatibility mode, please refer to
Document #36001, "Windows 95/98/ME General Troubleshooting".
"The Installer starts to copy files, but then just quits to the desktop."
Make sure that you have enough hard drive space available on your system
before installing. If you don't have at least 40 Megabytes free, the game
can't install.
If you have enough space, check the shiny underside of the CD for
fingerprints, smudges, scratches, or anything else that may cause your
drive to have trouble reading it.
If the CD looks clean and undamaged, then your CD-ROM drive may be
running in "MS-DOS Compatibility Mode".
- To learn how to see if your CD-ROM drive is in MS-DOS compatibility
mode, please refer to Document #36001, "Windows 95/98/ME General
Troubleshooting".
"I receive an error message stating that I do not have enough memory to
run the game."
This will occur if the system does not have the required amount of RAM in
order to run the game. Operation requires a system with at least 16MB of
RAM in order to run. If your system is below the requirements for memory,
you should ensure that all background applications are closed when you
install, and check the rest of the system components such as the video
card to make sure they also meet the minimum requirements for the game
- To learn how to shut down all unnecessary applications, please refer to
Document #36001, "Windows 95/98/ME General Troubleshooting".
"I receive an error message: 'Error Move Data Process 115.'"
This error comes up during the installation process when you a) have
selected the root directory of a drive as the install point, b) have a
critical file on the CD open in another application, thereby locking it
down and making it impossible to copy, or c) do not have enough free
drive space to run the game.
To fix this, make sure you are installing the program to an actual folder
on your hard drive (or go with the suggested defaults), ensure that all
background applications are closed when you install, and make sure you
have the necessary available hard drive space that the program requires
for installation.
- To learn how to shut down all unnecessary applications, please refer to
Document #36001, "Windows 95/98/ME General Troubleshooting".
"I receive an error message about a missing DDRAW.DLL, D3D.DLL, or
DSOUND.DLL file."
This is an indication that DirectX was not successfully installed. You
should try reinstalling DirectX from the program CD.
- To learn how to reinstall DirectX, please see the "DirectX
Installation" portion of this FAQ, or refer to Document #36012, "DirectX
Frequently Asked Questions".
Unexplained Lockups & Crashes:
"During Launch, the screen just turns black or quits back to Windows
without any error message."
There are several things that you can try to fix this problem:
1. Shut down any other applications that you may have running on your
system such as screen savers, virus scanners, etc.
2. Turn down video hardware acceleration in the Windows control panel.
3. Try resetting your computer's video resolution to 640x480 with 256
colors.
4. Update your video card drivers.
- For further information on any of these solutions, please see the
following documents:
#36001, "Windows 95/98/ME General Troubleshooting".
#36003, "Windows 95/98/ME Video Troubleshooting".
#36013, "How to Update your Drivers".
"The game randomly freezes, crashes, or locks up the computer."
First, shut down all other applications that may be running on your
computer, as well as a few other items, such as screen savers, virus
scanners, and desktop backgrounds. Other applications can interfere with
the game's operation. For instructions on how to do this, please see
Document #36001, "Windows 95/98/ME General Troubleshooting".
If this doesn't help, then the software drivers that Windows uses to
communicate with your hardware may be out of date, or incompatible with
the game. Install the latest DirectX compatible drivers available for
your video and sound card from the card's manufacturer. If you have
already updated to the latest driver version from the manufacturer and
the problem persists, you may want to see if reference drivers are
available from the video chip manufacturer. Reference drivers are usually
more standardized than the manufacturer's versions and may work better
with a wider variety of games.
- For more information on this topic and contact information on a wide
variety of hardware vendors, please see Document #36013, "How to Update
your Drivers".
Sound Problems:
"I can't hear any sound or music in the game."
First, check your speakers to make sure that they are turned on,
connected properly to the rest of the system, and that the volume
controls are turned up. If they are, then check your Windows Volume
Control by clicking on the small yellow speaker icon on your taskbar.
If you have already tried the solutions above and still can't hear sound,
then you'll need to update your sound card drivers to the latest versions
available.
- For more information on updating your drivers, please see Document
#36013, "How to Update your Drivers".
DirectX and Driver Problems:
This game uses Microsoft's DirectX for all graphics and sound effects. It
cannot run properly unless DirectX version 5.2 or higher is installed on
your computer. (Again, this is standard equipment on Windows 98 Second
Edition and ME, you only need to worry about this if you are running
Windows 95 or the first version of 98.) It may also exhibit problems if
the video card and/or sound card in your computer are not 100% DirectX
compliant.
Re-install DirectX from the installation CD, then reboot your computer
and try playing the game again. For instructions, see the section near
the top of this document labeled "DirectX Installation".
If the problem still occurs, then you'll need to update your video and/or
sound card drivers with the latest versions available from the
manufacturer. For more information on this topic and contact information
on a wide variety of hardware vendors, please see Document #36013, "How
to Update your Drivers".
Standard Troubleshooting:
"I've encountered a problem that was not mentioned in this document."
1. REBOOT your computer after installation, especially if you needed to
install or update DirectX. Several updated system files are copied to
your hard drive during installation, which can't take effect until you
reboot.
2. Make sure that your system meets the minimum system requirements as
listed on the box and at the top of this document. If your system does
not meet or exceed the minimum requirements, it will run poorly, or not
at all.
3. Shut down all other programs that you may have running on your system
before playing. Other programs can interfere with the operation of the
game. For detailed instructions on shutting down all of your other
applications, please see Document #36001, "Windows 95/98 General
Troubleshooting".
4. Make sure you have plenty of room left you your hard drive, or Windows
may not have enough room for a swap file. This can cause some very
strange problems. (As a general rule, make sure you have at least 100 MB
free on your C: drive AFTER installation for your swap file.)
5. Make sure that the CD itself is not dirty or damaged in any way. If
the CD is dirty, it can be cleaned. Most computer stores carry
inexpensive CD-ROM cleaning kits that will safely restore your CD. If you
want to try cleaning the CD without a kit, you can wash the CD using
lukewarm water, MILD NON-ABRASIVE dish soap, and a very soft and clean
COTTON cloth. Do NOT use any kind of paper product or abrasive soap to
clean the CD, as these WILL scratch! Once the CD is clean, be sure to let
the CD dry completely before inserting it into your CD-ROM, or damage may
result.
6. If the CD is scratched or physically damaged in any way, you may need
to send it in for replacement. For our mailing address and other
important information regarding replacements, please see Document #35002,
"Customer Service Policies and Information".
7. Try uninstalling, and then re-installing the game.
