(3) GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING AND COMPATIBILITY ISSUES
****************************************************************
In order to run this program properly on a Windows based
computer, you must do the following:
Windows 95 Notes:
Turn OFF ALL applications.
Windows 3.1x Notes:
Create a Permanent swap file of at least 8MB (8192 KB) in your
Virtual Memory settings. We suggest that you do not create a swap
file greater than 20000 KB, as this can reduce the efficiency of
Windows. [Refer to your Windows guide on Changing Swap-File
Settings, by using the Control Panel].
Turn OFF any virus scanning programs and screen savers that might
be running.
Turn OFF ALL applications except for the 'Program Manager' (if
you are running an alternate desktop, leave only your desktop
program running). NOTE: Some desktops may not be compatible. We
recommend using Program Manager.
(Win 3.1 & DOS 6.x) Exit Windows and at C:\>, type MSD. Under
'Video' section, there may be a listing of the manufacturer of the
video card or video chip installed on your computer.
WARNING: Please note the brand of video driver that you are
using. You may need to switch between alternate drivers. Video
drivers are written for the brand of video card you are currently
using, and we advise that you do not change brands of video
drivers without first consulting the maker of your video card.
Set screen resolution to 640x480 or 800x600. (Higher resolutions
may cause the loss of "hot spots" and other screen information.)
[Refer to your Windows guide on Running the Setup Program or
Setting Up Windows.]
Set the number of colors to be displayed to 256. Some color cards
(especially Cirrus Logic or Trident video cards) may require
colors to be set at 65,536; 65,535; 64K; or 65K, depending on
vendor. [Refer to your Windows guide on Running the Setup Program
or Setting Up Windows.]
If you still encounter a problem, try changing your video
configuration to Microsoft's(TM) generic SVGA 640x480 256 color
mode.
You may encounter some graphic disturbance if you have an S-3
video card, a #9 video card or Cirrus Logic video drivers.
You may encounter a problem when using Great Adventures by
Fisher-Price(TM) Castle on Compaq machines while using the
Compaq wallpaper. We suggest that the wallpaper be turned off
or set to NONE.
If you have problems running on an Aptiva computer it may be due
to the MWave sound card settings. Check with IBM's web page for
any updates to the MWave sound driver or other fixes.
PRINTING PROBLEMS: If you are having trouble printing, please be
certain you are running the program with your system video set to
256 colors. Consult the manual for your system or video card for
instructions on changing the video mode.
VIDEO AND SOUND PROBLEMS: If you experience video or sound
problems, please contact your computer or sound and video
card manufacturers for updated sound and video drivers.
Many Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 systems are more reliable
running a variety of software when they have updated drivers
for the sound and video cards.
****************************************************************
(4) SPECIFIC TROUBLESHOOTING

we recommend you contact your system or video card manufacturer

you will need to turn off Share.exe to run the Program. To Turn
off Share, you need to open up the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and remark
the share line.
In Dos you NEED TO type: Edit c:\autoexec.bat
You will find a line that will include: SHARE.EXE.
