Troubleshooting
===============
Before they are released, our products are
tested thoroughly on computers running
standard Windows 3.1x and Windows 95x.
It is extremely rare that a CD is defective.
Most problems that may be encountered come
from old device drivers for video, CD-ROM,
and sound cards. A driver is a software
program, supplied by the hardware
manufacturer, that allows Windows to
communicate to a hardware device. These
drivers are generally updated annually.
Please contact your hardware manufacturer
to make sure you have the most recent
versions of your system drivers. If your
system is brand new, do not assume that the
drivers included with your system are the
most recent versions.
In order to reduce the chance of problems
and to increase performance, we recommend
that this program be the only application
running. Please exit or disable all other
applications including: anti-virus,
uninstall, front ends, add-on desktops,
screen savers, memory managers, conflict
catchers, and ram doubling programs.
NOTE: Always write down any error message you
receive.
==========================
Troubleshooting Windows 95x
==========================
The program freezes during the installation.
--------------------------------------------
Some applications that monitor the
installation of programs may cause the
installation to fail. Disable all
anti-virus, uninstall, add-on desktops and
front end programs.
The install may have problems if the hard
disk has corrupted files or if the hard disk
is fragmented. Please use a hard disk utility
to check and defragment the hard disk prior
to installing the program.
Can not Find File or Cannot Read from CD-ROM
---------------------------------------------
Make sure the CD-ROM is in the CD player.
Check the bottom of the CD-ROM for scratches,
finger prints, or dirt. Use a soft cloth to
carefully clean the CD.
Obtain the latest CD-ROM drivers for your CD-ROM
player.
Open File Manager to see if Windows is recognizing
the CD-ROM. If Windows does not recognize the
CD-ROM drive, then contact your system vendor or
hardware manufacture for CD-ROM installation
instructions.
Application Errors
