VroomBooks Windows Trouble Shooting Tips
We have made every effort to make VroomBooks easy to use. However,
as with all software, you may encounter some problems. The next few
pages will help you troubleshoot problems immediately so you can
get going without additional assistance.
(If not, you can call our technical support line at 415-962-0195 any
time between 9am and 5pm (Pacific Time), Monday - Friday, and
weÆll be happy to help you.)
Sound Problems
If no sound is playing, make sure the sound card you are using is
installed correctly by playing a sound file other than those
contained in your VroomBook. If the sound card is functioning
properly, check that you have enough available RAM, are using the
latest drivers and that QuickTime is installed.
Display Problems
A 256-color VGA display is required, as well as a monitor with
640x480 resolution. Given the wide variety of different video cards
and the various drivers for each card, it is impossible to test
all of them. Some video cards or drivers may cause display errors
and irregularities. If you experience problems, contact the video
card manufacturer for the latest driver version for Windows.
