7th Level Inc., Readme Notes
Welcome to TuneLand Starring Howie Mandel. This sampler CD
contains just one of the eight scenes from TuneLand, the
worlds first interactive cartoon. We're sure you'll agree
that TuneLand is the best interactive title available on
the PC today. To experience all eight scenes, visit your
local software dealer or call 7th Level at 0223-425558.
Enjoy!
TuneLand Setup Program
The TuneLand Setup Program creates a 7th Level Group in the
Program Manager and installs the following icons:
1. TuneLand
2. README.TXT
This installation places a program file and README.TXT file on
your hard disk. A 7THLEVEL.INI file is also created in your Windows
directory for use by TuneLand. Disk space required for the files
should not exceed 31000 bytes.
Keyboard Functions
The + and - keys provide a convenient means for raising or lowering
the volume. Some sound boards do not support volume control, so
these keys may not function in all cases.
The following key combinations will help you navigate in the sampler:
SHIFT ESC Exits directly to Windows
ESC Provides information on purchasing TuneLand
ESC (second time) Exits to Windows
What To Do
While exploring TuneLand, you will find songs, sounds, gags,
jokes, and magic tricks. Oh, and don't forget to look for
Lil' Howie - he'll be hiding!
TuneLand Common Problems and Solutions
Problem:
When I run TuneLand I only get some of the sounds.
Solution:
TuneLand uses both CD Audio and .WAV files for the highest sound
quality possible. In order to hear CD Audio on your system, it is
required that you have a CD Audio connector between your CD-ROM drive
and your sound card, and you must have the [MCI] CD Audio driver
installed in the Windows Control Panel. The SETUP.EXE, supplied on the
TuneLand CD, automatically adds (if applicable) the [MCI] CD Audio
driver for you. If you do not run SETUP.EXE, you can add the driver
manually, by doing the following.
1. Open the Windows Control Panel and select Drivers.
2. Click the Add button.
3. Select the driver labeled [MCI] CD Audio and click OK.
4. Insert the requested Windows diskette and select OK.
5. Restart TuneLand and test the sounds.
If you still are having difficulty, make sure that you have the
required CD Audio connector between the sound board and the CD-ROM drive.
Problem:
Some of the TuneLand sounds are louder than others.
Solution:
Because TuneLand uses both CD Audio and .WAV files, it may be necessary
for you to adjust the CD Audio and .WAV volume for proper balance.
To adjust the volumes run the mixing software that was provided with your
sound card (i.e. for the Sound BlasterPro card, the file is called
SBPMIXER.EXE) and adjust the volume settings to your personal preference.
Problem:
When I try to run TuneLand I get the message "TuneLand requires 256
colors or more to run".
Solution:
Verify that your video card is capable of running at least 256 colors
by checking the documentation for the video card or contacting the
manufacturer. Also, check to be sure that you have the correct video
driver specified in your Windows setup.
Problem:
The sound and animation does not seem to be synchronized properly.
Solution:
Make sure that you are running TuneLand on a 386, 25 MHz or better
IBM compatible computer with at least 4MB of RAM. Also, make sure that
you do not have any other programs running under Windows while you are
running the TuneLand program.
Problem:
My animation or sound sometimes skips.
Solution:
Make sure that you have at least 4MB of RAM and that you do not have
any other programs running under Windows while you are running TuneLand.
Also, make sure that an expanded memory manager (such as EMM386, QEMM,
or 386MAX)is not reserving memory that Windows and TuneLand will need
to run correctly.
Stay Tuned!
We are confident that you'll enjoy spending many hours with your child in
TuneLand, as we have with our children. (Yes, they all love Lil' Howie.)
Again, thank you for trying TuneLand Starring Howie Mandel.
Please watch for more exciting 7th Level titles coming in 1994.
