Creative Multimedia Corporation's CD-Sampler
Windows Version
Thank you for your interest in Creative Multimedia's CD-Sampler.
Listed below are some performance and trouble-shooting tips.
Installation:
=============
To install select FILE, then RUN from the File Manager
Main Menu. You will be prompted to enter a command. Enter 'X:\setup'
where 'X' is the letter of your CD-ROM drive. Follow the on-screen
instructions.
Troubleshooting and Performance Tips
=====================================
Screen Savers
=============
Disable any screen savers before using Creative Multimedia's CD-Sampler.
Screen savers may interfere with the display of graphics and cursors.
Windows Drivers
===============
Be sure you are using the latest Windows drivers for your graphics and
sound cards.
Set your video driver to 640x480x256 colors for best performance.
Virtual Memory
==============
Check that your Windows system includes a virtual memory swap file (a
permanent file provides the best performance) of the size recommended by
the Windows Setup procedure. Also check that 32-bit Disk Access is
turned on.
General Protection Faults
=========================
If you are receiving a general protection fault, or if the program
returns to Windows Program Manager for no reason, there is probably a
conflict between the CD-Sampler and some other program loaded into
memory. Try closing any other Windows programs that you are running.
Disable programs which are loaded into memory when you boot your
computer (TSRs). You might also try editing the SYSTEM.INI file in the
Windows directory, under the heading [386Enh], to include the line:
EMMExclude=A000-EFFF.
Performance
===========
Creative Multimedia's CD-Sampler uses QuickTime for Windows. To increase
performance you might try modifying the QTW.INI file in your Windows
directory. Make the modifications suggested in QTW.INI. If the CD-Sampler
locks up due to the changes, you should switch to the original setting.
Some video cards may not work with the 'Optimize=hardware' setting.
If the program runs extremely slowly, check the EMM386 statement in your
Config.SYS file to see if your RAM is being allocated to expanded
memory. If so, try changing the line so that it reads:
'DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS'. Save your original file so that you
can restore your system to its original configuration if you need to.
Use the DOS 'mem' command to verify that you have at 500K of
conventional memory. If you do not, consult your DOS manual for ways to
increase conventional memory.
If possible, close all other open Windows applications. This provides
the maximum possible memory.
Director Player 3.0 for Windows
===============================
If during startup you receive the message "Script Error: XLib File
Not Found", check the path in the Autoexe.bat file for reference to
Director Player For Windows - "Player". If found, remove this from the
path and restart computer.
