If youﾕre having problems running SndSamplerｪ, try these steps:
1. Please read the Userﾕs Guide
to see if it gives you any advice about your specific problem. Note that the Userﾕs Guide is not a SimpleText file. It is an RTF file which can only be opened in a word processor which can import RTF files, such as Microsquat Word, ClarisWorks, etc. You probably wonﾕt be able to double-click it, either. Youﾕll have to launch the word processor separately and then open the file with the word processorﾕs open command.
2. If you are having problems recording directly to a hard drive, use a disk utitlity such as Norton Utilities to defragment and optimize it. Also try optimizing your startup hard drive, i.e. the one with the System Folder on it. Do this even if you have just recently formatted your drives.
3. Remove the file ﾒSndSamplerｪ Prefsﾓ from the Preferences folder in your System Folder. (You donﾕt need to actually trash it, and if this doesnﾕt solve the problem you can restore your preferences.)
4. Turn off virtual memory and/or Ram Doubler.
5. Replace the malfunctioning copy of SndSamplerｪ with a fresh, unregistered backup copy. Register it again if you have received your code.
6. TRY DOWNLOADING SNDSAMPLERｪ AGAIN (preferably from a completely different site). Please try this, even if you think it wonﾕt do any good. We have found that sometimes it solves the problem, especially if SndSamplerｪ is acting flaky, i.e. quitting unexpectedly.
7. If all else fails, drop us a DETAILED note (e-mail to a_glenn@hotmail.com) and weﾕll do what we can to help. Try to include as much information as you can, such as: exactly what happened (unexpectedly quit due to a Type 1 error, etc.), what System version are you running, what kind of Macintosh you have, what version of SndSamplerｪ are you using, is the problem reproducible (i.e. can you get it to happen any time you like by a certain series of steps), what kind of sound you were working on (8 or 16-bit, mono or stereo, etc.), and what operation you were trying to perform (downsample, amplitude, etc.).
