Thank you for purchasing the Wide World of Mathematics Middle School CD-ROM. We hope you will enjoy the many features and facets of this application.
INSTALLATION NOTES
---------------------------------------------
1) For best performance, we recommend that you configure your computer
using the following settings:
- quit all other applications
- turn virtual memory off
- disable any RAM Disks
- disable any memory management applications such as RAM Doubler
- turn File Sharing off
- make sure that you have the most recent versions of System files
such as QuickTime and Sound Manager
2) While the Wide World of Mathematics application has the ability to run directly off of the
CD, your best performance will be achieved by running the main application off of a hard
drive. See the installation instructions for more information.
3) The amount of memory currently allocated to this application (5,000kb) has been chosen
for the optimal performance on a wide variety of Macintosh computers. If your system has
more than 16 megabytes of RAM, increasing the memory allocation could provide better
performance. Similarly, if you plan on running this application on the minimum machine
configuration, we would recommend decreasing the memory allocation using the following
steps.
- after copying the application to your hard drive select the WWM icon
- under the File menu, select Get Info
- at the bottom of the dialog box find the box for "Preferred Size"
- for machines with more than 16 mb RAM, set the value to "8000"
- for slower machines with low memory, set the value to "4500"
- close the window, and run the application as usual
4) In some configurations, we have encountered a conflict with SAM¬ Intercept. If you are having problems running the program, turn off SAM¬ Intercept and restart your computer.
