A. Known Issues
==============
1. 32-bit addressing must be enabled
---------------------------------
In order for Cancer to function properly, 32-bit addressing
must be enabled on your Macintosh. See the Optimizing section
below for instructions on how to accomplish this.
2. Cancer runs slowly in high color mode
------------------------------------
If you find that Cancer is running slowly on your Macintosh,
try setting your monitor color settings to 256 colors. This may
help increase performance. See the Optimizing section below
for additional tips.
3. System appears frozen when a text hyperlink is clicked
----------------------------------------------------
Please note that when a hyperlink (red text) is clicked on,
a complex search is started and your system may appear frozen
momentarily. Please do not reset the system, but rather simply
give the computer a little time to work and display the search
results on screen. Note that some of the more complex links can
take up to twenty seconds to display, and during this time there
is no indication on screen that the system is "thinking"
4. Conflict between Help function and QuickTime
-------------------------------------------
If the Help function is accessed while a QuickTime movie is
onscreen (regardless of whether it is playing or not), a color
distortion may result. To fix this, enter another project
(for example, the Main Menu), and return to your original position.
The color distortion will disappear.
5. Steadmans may not display properly when accessed
------------------------------------------------
Under certain conditions, if the Steadmans Medical dictionary
is accessed multiple times by closing it completely and
reopening it in the same session, an error may occur in your
application. If this occurs, simply refrain from closing
Steadmans Medical Dictionary, simply leave it running in the
background after using it, and it therefore will be accessible
whenever you need it without having to reopen it each time.
B. Optimizing your system for Cancer
=================================
The performance of Cancer is influenced by a number of
factors including the speed of your Macintosh, the speed of
your CD-ROM drive and the way your system is configured. Two
factors that can influence performance are Virtual Memory and
32-bit addressing. Check that your Macintosh has Virtual
Memory disabled and 32-bit addressing enabled.
To disable Virtual Memory and enable 32-bit addressing:
1. Click Control Panels from the Apple menu.
2. Click the Memory icon.
3. Click the Off button in the Virtual Memory section.
4. Click the On button in the 32-bit Disc Addressing
section.
NOTE: Currently the memory requirements for this application are
set for the minimum hardware configuration. If your system has
more than 16MB Ram memory available, you may adjust the preferred
memory size on the application icon to increase the applications
performance. For further information on setting preferred memory
size, consult your Macintosh system documentation.
C. Trouble Shooting
=================
1. Clipboard objects cleared when Stedmans is launched or
Quicktime movie is played
-----------------------------------------------------
Please note that when the Stedmans Medical Dictionary is
launched, or a Quicktime movie is played, the clipboard
contents may be cleared. If you have items stored on the
clipboard for use in other applications, please be sure to save
them before starting the Stedmans Medical Dictionary or playing
a Quicktime movie.
2. System freezes if external volume is adjusted
--------------------------------------------
If your system has an external volume control, you should not
attempt to adjust the volume while this Medical application is
loading or accessing the CD-ROM drive. If you attempt to do this,
the application or system may stop responding and you will be
forced to restart.
3. Error at startup while using RAM Doubler
---------------------------------------
Under certain circumstances, if you are using RAM Doubler to
increase your system memory, you may experience an error at
startup of this Medical title. If this situation occurs, please
disable RAM Doubler before using Breastfeeding. For further
information on how to temporarily disable RAM Doubler, please
consult your RAM Doubler documentation.
4. Cannot run Cancer and Steadmans Dictionary at the same time
----------------------------------------------------------
On some systems that are close to the minimum requirements,
you may have trouble accessing Steadmans and/or the help files
at the same time you are running the application. This problem
occurs due to a lack of available memory on your system. If you
encounter this problem, try turning off some of your extensions
(see your apple documentation), or turn on virtual memory. Note
that activating virtual memory may cause some performance
degredation while using this Medical Series application.
