TROUBLE SHOOTING
The following is a brief list of errors that may be
encountered and what to do about them.
Out of Memory or Low Memory: You don't have enough memory
below 640K to run the program. If your computer has at least
512K of RAM, you should be able to eliminate this problem by
removing memory resident programs (TSR'S) and device drivers
(mouse drivers, network drivers, etc.) to free up memory.
Program Aborts with Message (DOS error 04): This means that
insufficient DOS file handles have been specified. If you
have already added the line FILES=21 to your CONFIG.SYS file
AND rebooted your computer, try increasing the number a few
at a time. Reboot your computer each time you increase the
number.
Program Locks up or screen becomes distorted: The mouse
display software in OPPL can cause problems with some
displays. Adding switches to the command line that cause
OPPL to use a non-graphic mouse cursor can sometimes solve
this problem. Try running OPPL with the following command:
OPPL /nv /ng
Mouse doesn't work: Your mouse driver is probably quite old
and out of date. Contact your mouse vendor for an updated
driver.
Other Errors: If at any time you are unable to resolve a
problem with this program, call or write us a letter
explaining the nature of the problem. Please also include a
description of your computer configuration including any TSR
programs which are installed.
