-
- Performance and Technical Tips
-
- 1. If you experience any problems launching, tasking out
- or quitting Logical Journey of the Zoombinis please do
- the following:
- a. Go into the Windows folder on your hard drive and look for the
- QTW.INI file.
- b. Open the QTW.INI file and make sure that
- the line Optimize=Driver is placed under [Video]. It should appear as:
- [Video]
- Optimize=Driver
-
- In our testing, we've found that many systems using video boards
- with an S3 chip may experience difficulties
- launching Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. Following the above instructions
- should help the program run more smoothly.
-
- 2. Your screen saver may interfere with Logical Journey
- of the Zoombinis. Please make sure that your screen saver
- is turned off before you start the program.
-
- 3. Left-handed users - you will be able to use either the
- right or left mouse button to play the program. However,
- both mouse buttons may not function properly if your
- Windows mouse settings are set
- to left hand settings. Before starting, make sure your
- mouse button is set to the Windows default of right hand settings.
-
- 4. If you are in Practice Mode and quit the program,
- you will not be prompted to save your game. Make sure
- to save your game before going into Practice Mode. Please
- see the User's Manual for Logical Journey of
- the Zoombinis for more details.
-
- 6. After installing in Windows 3.1, Logical Journey of the Zoombinis
- will run WinG. WinG is a program that analyzes and
- adjusts your computer system to optimize graphics
- performance and will take approximately two minutes to run.
- WinG will only run the first time you install Logical Journey of
- the Zoombinis in Windows 3.1, or if you adjust your video settings.
-
- 7. If you encounter problems with sound or graphics
- quality while playing, please check to see that you
- have the latest device drivers. Our testing has shown
- that Logical Journey of the Zoombinis may display
- certain graphic anomalies with the Diamond Stealth VRAM and
- Tseng ET4000 video boards. The User's Manual for Logical Journey of the Zoombinis
- has a listing of companies and their phone numbers
- in the "If You Can't Get Started" section.
- By contacting these companies, you should be able to
- obtain the most recent video, sound, and CD-ROM drivers
- for your peripheral hardware.
-
- 8. If you have a Packard Bell machine and you receive the error "Cannot Open
- File Handler" while in Windows 3.1, the problem is occuring
- because some of the QuickTime files are hidden and the 2.0.3 QuickTime for Windows installer
- can't replace them. Please make the following change:
-
- From a DOS prompt type:
- cd\Windows <enter>
- ATTRIB -H *.* <enter>
- cd\Windows\System <enter>
- ATTRIB -H *.* <enter>
-
- This will remove the "Hidden" attribute from all the files.
- After doing the ATTRIB command, return to Windows and
- run the QuickTime install of Logical Journey of the Zoombinis.
-
- If you continue to experience difficulties with running Logical
- Journey of the Zoombinis, please contact BrĀ°derbund Europe Customer Service,
- Monday to Friday during normal business hours on 01429-273029 or by fax on 01429-521005.
