2. Troubleshooting
Problem: Your computer is having trouble reading the CD-ROM.
Symptoms: There are sudden changes in performance, or messages
such as the following appear:
·"Cannot read from drive 'D:'"
·"Error reading from CD-ROM"
·"A serious CD error has occurred"
Possible cause: The disc may be damaged or dirty.
Solution: Check your disc for fingerprints, scratches, or smudges.
To check your disc, hold its shiny side up to a bright light. If you
find your disc is dirty, you can clean it with a soft cotton cloth.
If necessary, you may also use a damp cloth. If your disc becomes
damaged, refer to our replacement policy in the warranty section of
the User's Manual.
Problem: You are experiencing difficulty installing the program.
Possible cause: Other programs may be running while you are attempting to
install this product.
Solution: First, make sure there are no other programs running.
Press Alt+Tab to check for other programs running. If there are other
programs running, please quit them before proceeding with installation.
Possible cause: Some problems may be specific to the setup screen used
for installation.
Solution: Try avoiding that aspect of the installation by using your
computer's Run command to manually install the product:
·Click on Start.
·Click on Run.
·Type the following command: D:\install\_setup.exe
(If your CD ROM drive is other than "D", substitute that letter for "D").
Problem: The video or display of one of our activities does not seem
right, or you are getting a message concerning display or video.
Possible cause: Your computer has out dated or corrupted video
drivers.
Solution: Reinstall the video drivers using the discs that came
with your computer and/or video card. If you do not possess discs
with the video drivers you require, contact your computer or video
card manufacturer, as they are most qualified to help you update your
video drivers.
Possible cause: Your monitor's color depth setting is not set to 256
colors, or your screen's resolution is not set to 640x480 pixels.
Solution: Adjust your monitor's display settings. Try the following:
·Click the right mouse button on your Windows desktop screen.
·Select Properties.
·Click on the Settings tab. This will show the current color and
screen settings.
·Change your color depth setting to 256 colors, and/or your screen
resolution depth to 640x480. Click OK.
Finding out who makes your video card:
·Locate the My Computer icon on your desktop.
·Click once to highlight it, and then click once on the
right mouse button.
·Select Properties.
·Click on the Device Manager tab.
·Double-click the Display Adapters line. The name of your video
card will appear below the Display Adapters line.
·To find out more about your video drivers, click the name of
your video card and then click the Properties button at the
bottom of the screen.
·Please contact the manufacturer. Never attempt to change these
settings unless you know how to do so.
Problem: There is no sound, or there is distorted sound.
Possible cause: Your sound card's settings are improperly set.
Solution: First, check the following setting. If that fails to help,
you will need to contact your sound card manufacturer. It may help to
increase the size of your sound buffer.
·Click the Start, point to Settings, then Control Panel.
·Double-click the Multimedia icon.
·Click the Advanced tab, then double-click on Media Control
Devices.
·Double-click on Wave Audio Device.
·Click the Settings button; turn the dial so that the sound
buffer is set to 8.
Possible cause: There is no sound card present.
Solution: Our programs require a sound card. If you do not currently
have one, see your local computer retailer for a compatible sound card.
Should you need to contact your sound card manufacturer, the following
information will help you get the information you need, as well as
supply the information they will need.
·Your sound card IRQ (Interrupt Request) should be set to either 5
or 7.
·Our programs are designed to recognize these settings first. Your
sound card manufacturer can help you change your IRQ setting.
·Make sure you are working with the most current sound driver
available for your sound card. Your computer or sound card
manufacturer can help you update your sound driver.
Problem: You are experiencing problems printing.
Possible cause: There is not enough virtual memory for the program to
print. You may need to allocate more virtual memory.
Solution: To allocate more virtual memory to your computer, please do
the following:
·In Windows, hard drive space is automatically used by the
operating system for virtual memory use. If you run out of virtual
memory, free up more hard drive space on your computer.
·For best performance, wait until your system has finished printing
before using other parts of the program.
Problem: The program is randomly locking up or freezing during play.
Possible cause: The drivers may need to be updated, your disc may be
dirty, or your computer may not have enough memory.
Solution: Try the following:
·Make sure your sound and video drivers are the most current versions
available. A lock-up can occur when our program asks your computer
to play a sound or display an image that it is not prepared to play
or display.
·Make sure the disc is clean and free of scratches. A lock-up can
occur when your machine is asked to read a file which it cannot
read.
