If you have problems with STEREOWORLD:
If STEREOWORLD fails to load some sections of the software, or STEREOWORLD
runs slowly, please refer to the information below:
HIMEM and EMM386 Memory Managers
The memory managers HIMEM and EMM386 need to be installed on your computer
for STEREOWORLD to function correctly.
Please consult your DOS manual for details of how to install HIMEM and
EMM386, or see below for information on how to create a DOS boot disk.
Memory Shortage due to TSRs, Device Drivers, and DOS Shells
The term, TSR, is an abbreviation for Terminate and Stay Resident, and some
TSRs may be automatically loaded into memory when you start up your computer.
We recommend that you do not run any TSRs, Device Drivers, DOS shells, etc.
when attempting to run STEREOWORLD.
Creating a DOS Boot Disk for STEREOWORLD
If you experience any problems in installing or running STEREOWORLD, start up
your computer system using a DOS boot disk. Please follow the procedure
below exactly if you want to create a DOS boot disk:
1. Log onto your hard disk using the appropriate drive letter.
Usually this means typing c: and pressing the Enter key.
2. Insert a blank disk into the a: drive.
3. Type format a:/s and press the Enter key.
4. When you are prompted to insert a blank disk into the a: drive,
press the Enter key.
5. When the disk formatting is complete, you will be prompted to label
(title) the disk. Type in a label or simply press the Enter key.
6. You will now be asked whether you want to format another disk.
Type n and press the Enter key.
7. Now create a CONFIG.SYS file on your DOS boot disk by typing the
following after the c: prompt is shown:
edit a:\config.sys and press the Enter key.
When the edit screen appears, type:
device=c:\dos\himem.sys and press the Enter key.
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe ram and press the Enter key.
dos=high and press the Enter key.
files=40 and press the Enter key.
buffers=20 and press the Enter key.

8. Next you must create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file on your DOS boot disk.
Type:
edit a:\autoexec.bat
When the edit screen appears, type:
prompt $p$g and press the Enter key.
path=c:\dos and press the Enter key.
(alter the following line as appropriate if your mouse
driver is not in the directory called mouse, or your
mouse driver is not called mouse.com)
c:\mouse\mouse.com and press the Enter key.
(the following line is only required for the CD-ROM
version of STEREOWORLD)
c:(path)\mscdex.exe (followed by all the parameters from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the c: drive)
and press the Enter key.
Save this file by typing:
