THE ART OF PICKING UP THE GIRLS OF YOUR DREAMS
To install "PICKING UP THE GIRLS" viewing software, log to your CD-ROM
drive and type: "INSTALL" and press Enter. For a successful install
you will need about .5 Megabytes of available space on your "C:" Drive.
Upon initiating the "INSTALL" program as indicated above, an
Installation menu will will appear:
To continue the install process choose option 1. by typing:
"1" and pressing Enter.
To read the README file before proceeding with the install
process, select "2" from the menu and press Enter.
To exit back to DOS select "3" from the menu and press Enter.
If your system is configured correctly, and you have gone through the
installation process, you can begin enjoying "PICKING UP THE GIRLS". Simply
log to your "C:" drive,
type: "CD\PICKUP" and press Enter then
type: "GO" and press Enter.
If "PICKING UP THE GIRLS" does not load properly then you will need to
review the following information regarding your system configuration.
System Requirements:
To run "PICKING UP THE GIRLS" you need to have:
1. Your Microsoft Mouse driver loaded,
2. Your system configured for 2 megabytes of expanded memory,
3. At least 580 K-Bytes of Conventional memory available.
Instructions for adjusting your system to meet these requirements
follow:
Setting up Expanded Memory:
To set up your system environment with expanded memory, you must edit
the "CONFIG.SYS" file in your root directory ("C:\") to include the
following lines:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 2048 RAM FRAME=E000
Maximizing Conventional Memory
If "PICKING UP THE GIRLS" still does not load, check your available
conventional (low) memory.
You can do this by typing: MEM and pressing Enter. Check to make
sure that you have at least 580 Kbytes of free memory in the low
memory area.
If you do not have enough free memory available, you may be able
to adjust your system configuration by changing all "Device=..."
statements in your config.sys file to "DeviceHigh=...". In your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file you can precede commands with the "LoadHigh "
statement. Both of these actions will load drivers and programs
into high (Extended) memory thereby freeing up conventional memory.
An alternative is to create a "Boot Disk". This is done by
formatting a system disk. To do this place a blank disk in the
"A:" drive and type: FORMAT A:/S
Then you can make a "skeleton" config.sys file by setting up
expanded memory (EMM386.EXE, see above), and loading high the drivers
for your CD-ROM, Sound Card, etc. Leave any unecessary commands out
of your config.sys and autoexec.bat.
Reboot your system with the newly created system in drive "A:"
Now you can log to the "C:" drive and execute "PICKING UP THE GIRLS".
MOUSE
If your "PICKING UP THE GIRLS" Video Sequences appear to be loading properly
and suddenly revert back to DOS or your mouse pointer doesn't work, you
need to install your MicroSoft Mouse driver.
The mouse driver installation for Windows does not necessarily apply to
the DOS environment. To install your mouse driver, look for a file on
your system called mouse.com or mouse.exe. Change to the directory
which contains that file and execute it by typing "MOUSE" and pressing
the enter key.
To verify that your mouse driver loaded properly, look for the message:
"Mouse Driver Loaded".
VIDEO CARDS
Some conventional VGA/SVGA video cards require a Vesa driver to run
correctly. Included on your CD-ROM is a directory called "DRIVERS"
which contains several drivers for various popular video boards.
To use these drivers you must do the following:
1. Determine the chipset of your video card. You may refer to
your video card manual or you may have to physically inspect
the card for this information. You will need this information
to choose the appropriate driver.
2. UNZIP (Decompress) the appropriate driver by
A. Changing into the DRIVERS directory on your CD-ROM drive.
This is done by logging to your CD-ROM drive and typing:
"CD\DRIVERS"
B. As an example assume that you have determined that your
video card has a TSENG LABS Chipset. You would then Type:
"UNZIP TSENGVSA.ZIP C:\PICKUP" and press Enter.
3. Apply the driver by following the instructions included with
it, or by simply typing in the file name preceding the COM
or EXE extention.
4. After you have loaded the driver, run "PICKING UP THE GIRLS" as
indicated above.
An indication that your system may need a vesa driver is when you have
bright CGA colors splashing your screen, or when hi-res mode is playing
in lo-res.
Local Bus Video Cards
Local Bus video cards are quickly becoming common as they
significantly boost performance for Windows users. However these
cards sometimes cause memory conflict errors when used with DOS
Programs.
The install program places a special driver on your system to
accomodate most Local Bus Video Cards. This driver is
designed to help overcome the memory conflict problem.
Performance on a local bus card may be slower as the special driver
is actively manipulating memory while playing your video sequences.
If your video performance is extremely choppy, or if you have a Cirrus
Logic VESA card, please indicate this on your registration card so
that we may send you any updated drivers that might improve performance.
SOUND
If you have a sound card which is compatible with Sound Blaster or
Pro-Audio Spectrum, and if your sound card is correctly installed,
you should have no problems with sound.
The installation program automatically configures for your sound
card.
If you are getting no sound at all, check to make sure that the
software installation for your sound card matches the hardware
settings on your sound card. Also check to be sure that your
config.sys or autoexec.bat file contains the appropriate sound
card drivers.
If you are getting high-pitched noise, or heavy static, or frequent
loss of sound, chances are that you have an address or interrupt
conflict problem.
Recommended sound card settings are:
DMA Channel 1, Interrupt 7, Addr. 220.
or
DMA Channel 3, Interrupt 7, Addr. 220.
If you are getting sound but get periodic jerkiness or skips,
the likelyhood is that your CD-ROM drive or its interface, or
your PC CPU is too slow to adequately process the information
quickly enough to allow for smooth operation. A double spin
CD-ROM drive is recommended and is manufactured by Toshiba,
Texel, Nec, Panasonic, Philips, and others. If your system has
a sustained throughput of at least 150 kilobytes per second,
an average access time of less then 350 milliseconds, and a
64K transfer buffer, you should be able to enjoy the full
quality of performance of "THE ART OF PICKING UP THE GIRLS OF
YOUR DREAMS".
