To improve performance, reduce the number of unnecessary extensions running, as this will take up more RAM and may conflict with certain resources DigiZINE uses.
If DigiZINE runs well but you are getting no audio during QuickTime movie playback it is most likely a memory issue╤See below.
MEMORY
You need to have at least 4.5 MB of memory available for DigiZINE to run properly. While in the Finder, check your memory usage by selecting ╥About This Macintosh╙ from the Apple menu. This will tell you how much memory is available. Before you start, the only thing listed in the ╥About This Macintosh╙ dialog should be ╥System Software╙. If there are other applications listed, you should quit out of them.
If your system has 8 MB of system memory,and you have a large number of inits, extensions, control panels, or fonts, your system may be unusually large. While in the Finder, check your memory usage by selecting ╥About This Macintosh╙ from the Apple menu. If your System Software is larger than 4500, you may have difficulty running DigiZINE. Try turning off some extensions, control panels, or reducing the number of fonts to reduce the size of your System Software. Then restart your computer, and try DigiZINE again. Extensions Manager is helpful when disabling inits/extensions/cdevs. See the above list for Extensions/Control Panels that are necessary to run DigiZINE.
TO QUIT OUT OF DIGIZINE:
To quit out of DigiZINE at any time:
