III. Troubleshooting: 
==================== 
   
1. General 
----------
We do not anticipate you will have any problems using this
CD-ROM.  However, you should check the following items if an
error does occur: 

a) Make sure the correct CD-ROM is in the CD-ROM drive. You
cannot use the GROLIER  MULTIMEDIA ENCYCLOPEDIA unless it is in
the CD-ROM drive. 
 
b) Verify that your equipment meets or exceeds the listed System 
Requirements.    
    
c) Ensure that you are not running any other applications in the
background. 
 
d) Try a different video display resolution. For example: if you
run Windows in 800x600 256 colors, try 640x480 in 256 colors. 
 
e) Try to obtain the most recent drivers for your video card and
CD-ROM drive. The positive effect this has can be profound. 
 
f) If you have display problems, but meet the stated system
requirements, and have obtained the most recent drivers, you can
try the following:
 
Modify the file "qtw.ini" located on your hard drive in the
"Windows" directory. If the file does not contain the following
two lines, add them to the file and restart Windows: 
 
[VIDEO]    
Optimize=Driver    
 
If this fails, you should try replacing the word   "Driver" with
"BMP" (do not enter the quote marks). You can also try "RAW" and
"DIB" in place of "Driver". 
 
g) If you have a problem which you have not been able to resolve,
you should reinstall the GME. 
 
2. Problems with specific video cards:
-------------------------------------
a) ATI Mach64 video card

   Users of this video card may encounter problems when
   using the GME.  This can be resolved by adding a line
   to the [macx] section of your SYSTEM.INI file. 
   The line you add to the [macx] section should read:

   DeviceBitmap=OFF 

b) Trident and Headland Technologies VGA cards

   Modify the file "qtw.ini" located on your hard drive in the
   Windows directory. If the file does not contain the following
   two lines, add them to the file and restart Windows: 
 
   [VIDEO]    
   Optimize=BMP    

3. Horizontal Scroll Bar:    
------------------------ 
When an open window extends off the edge of your screen, a
horizontal scroll bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. If
this scroll bar appears and covers something you need to see
(such as video controls), you can move the partially obscured
window by clicking on its Title Bar and dragging it to a better
location.

5. Windows 95 issues:
--------------------
a) Memory is Low; System Resources are Low

This problem can be resolved by changing the size of your virtual memory.  
Click Start on the Task Bar, then Settings, Control Panel.  Select System, 
then Performance, then Virtual Memory. Choose the option button which will
let you control the size of the swapfile.  Set the lower limit for 4 and 
the upper limit to 10.  After the changes are made, you will be prompted 
to restart your computer. You will need to restart for the changes to take 
place.

b) Launching the Word Processor

To return to your word processor once you have opened it from the
GME95 Tools menu, you will need to select it from the Windows 95 
Task Bar or use the <Alt><Tab> key combination. If you select 
Word Processor from the Tools menu a second time, then a second 
copy of the word processor will be opened.

6. If you need to contact Technical Support:
-------------------------------------------
This CD-ROM was obtained as part of a hardware bundle. The 
correct number for technical support can be obtained in one 
of two places:

   1. The Technical Support number is located on the first
      "Help" screen. (Click on "Help" then select "Contents")

   2. The Technical Support number can also be obtained by
      looking at the filenames listed in the "Ident" subdirectory
      of the CD-ROM. You will see a filename that looks like a 
      telephone number.  This is the number to call for technical 
      support.
