- | The program doesn't run at all ! |
- +----------------------------------+
- If Pray for Death will not run, this is most likely attributed to insufficient
- XMS memory or insufficient Conventional memory. Pray for Death requires 7100KB
- of XMS memory and 530KB of Conventional memory. You can find out how much XMS
- and Conventional memory you have available by typing mem at the DOS prompt.
- If you do not have the needed amount you have two options:
-
- 1) Modify your existing config.sys and autoexec.bat files to not load
- any unneeded drivers.
-
- WARNING: If you don't known how to modify autoexec.bat and config.sys
- ask an expert or check your DOS manual.
-
- 2) Create a boot disk (section for an MS-DOS\MS-DOS mode system).
- This is explained below.
- Here's how to do it:
- 1. Grab a floppy disk
- 2. Format the disk, at the c: prompt type "format a: /s" (without
- quotes) and press ENTER, you will be prompted for a label,
- press ENTER for none.
- You will also be prompted to format another, press N for no.
- 3. Copy your config.sys and autoexec.bat to your floppy. From C:\
- type "copy config.sys a:" (press ENTER) and
- "copy autoexec.bat a:" (press ENTER)
- 4. Change to the a: drive
-
- All the marked lines below are system dependent.

- NOTES
-
- 1 This line is an example of what this line should look like. You can identify
- this line by looking for the /d:mscd001 (or something very similar).
- It should not need to be modified.
- Please reference the Help booklet for examples.
-
- 2 The following are examples of sound card lines. Your system may have more or
- less than 3 of them. They should not need to be modified.
- Please reference the Help booklet for examples.
-
- +-----------------------------------+
- | The program crashes after a match |
- +-----------------------------------+
- You need at least 20 files in your configuration.
- Check that the line FILES=20 is in your CONFIG.SYS.
-
- +-------------------------------------------+
- | The program works but you can't get sound |
- +-------------------------------------------+
- Before playing Pray run the config program from the DOS prompt to configure
- your sound card (to do this type config). If you don't known your sound card
- settings try the suggested defaults (the numbers in parenthesis).
- Otherwise check your sound cards manual to discover your correct
- configuration.
-
- +------------------------------------+
- | The music volume is too high (low) |
- +------------------------------------+
- Change the volume on your sound card and then run Pray. If you have
- Windows '95 you will have to set the volume within Windows.
- NOTE : To hear the music your CD-ROM drive MUST be connected to your
- audio card!
-
- +-----------------------------------------+
- | The Keyboard configuration doesn't work |
- +-----------------------------------------+
- The on screen keys are from the USA standard keyboard. If your keyboard is
- different you may see a different picture to the key you selected.
- Don't worry the program will remember which key you selected.
- If you type a key and nothing appears on screen the key is in use by the
- other player.
-
- +---------------------------------------------+
- | Some key combination don't work in the game |
- +---------------------------------------------+
- This is a hardware problem. When you push more than one key at the same
- time not all combinations are properly handled from all keyboards.
- Try a different key configuration.
-
- +--------------+
- | A little tip |
- +--------------+
- Do you like Pray? Yes? Ok... The bigger the installation you use the faster
- loading time you will get.
