2. PROBLEM SOLVING
==================
This section covers general problems that you may encounter with Oz
Clarke's Wine Guide. If the information in this and following sections
does not solve your problem, see details of technical support at the
end of this file.
Oz Clarke's Wine Guide Crashes or Freezes When Opened
-----------------------------------------------------
Some users may experience a crash or a fatal error when Oz Clarke's
Wine Guide first runs. This is due to problems with QuickTime for
Windows, which may be installed at the same time as Oz Clarke's Wine
Guide.
For details on how to solve this problem, see the section on
QuickTime Display Problems below.
The Image Appears 'Split' or 'Jigsawed'
---------------------------------------
On some computers, Oz Clarke's Wine Guide runs, but the image
displayed appears to be cut into several places, or the image is
broken into squares or 'jigsawed'.
Errors of this sort are caused by problems with the graphic adaptor
driver software installed on the computer. For details on how to solve
this problem, see the section below on 'Graphic Adaptor and
Display Problems'.
Playing a Movie Causes the Computer to Crash or Freezes When Opened
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is due to problems with QuickTime for Windows, which may be
installed at the same time as Oz Clarke's Wine Guide. For details on
how to solve this problem, see the section on QuickTime Display
Problems below.
Movies Appear 'Split' or 'Jigsawed'
-----------------------------------
Movies played within Oz Clarke's Wine Guide may appear to be cut into
several pieces, or the image is cut into squares or 'jigsawed'.
Errors of this sort are caused by problems with the graphic adaptor
driver software installed on the computer, or with QuickTime for
Windows (which may be installed at the same time as Oz Clarke's Wine
Guide). For details on how to solve this problem, see both sections
below on 'QuickTime Display Problems' and 'Graphic Adaptor and Display
Problems'.
Movies Play Slowly or Sound Stutters
------------------------------------
If movies play very slowly, and the sound appears to stutter, this may
be caused by slow performance of the CD-ROM drive or computer. Check
that your CD-ROM drive is working correctly, and that both the CD-ROM
drive and computer meet Oz Clarke's Wine Guide's requirements. See
sections 'System Requirements for Running Oz Clarke's Wine Guide'
(above) and 'CD-ROM Problems' (below).
Movies Play but with No Sound
-----------------------------
If a movie plays, but no sound is played, or clicking on a speaker
button produces no sound, please see section 'Audio Problems' below.
Oz Clarke's Wine Guide Will Not Run in 16-Color
-----------------------------------------------
Oz Clarke's Wine Guide will not run in the 16-color screen mode. You
will have to change you computer to display 256 colors or better; check
your computer manuals to see if this is possible.
On Windows 3.1, you can run the Windows Setup program to change the
video driver settings. In Windows 95, you can use the Display option
in the Control Panel to change the video driver setting.
Error Message: 'QuickTime for Windows is Not Available'
-------------------------------------------------------
Please install Oz Clarke's Wine Guide again, as described in the
booklet with the CD-ROM.
Error Message: 'Out Of Memory'
------------------------------
See the section 'Running in Low Memory or Running Slowly' below.
Error Message: 'Error reading data'
-----------------------------------
See the section 'CD-ROM Problems' below.
3. RUNNING IN LOW MEMORY OR RUNNING SLOWLY
==========================================
Oz Clarke's Wine Guide uses your computer's system memory to display
pictures. If you find that Oz Clarke's Wine Guide runs slowly or if
you encounter out-of-memory errors, the program probably doesn't have
enough memory. Consider the following steps to improve your computer's
performance:
- Close all unnecessary applications.
- Determine how much total memory your computer has available. Open an
MS-DOS window, and at the command prompt type "mem" and press ENTER.
You need a minimum of 8MB (8,192KB) of total memory to use Oz Clarke's
Wine Guide. If you do not have at least 8MB of memory, you will not be
able to run Oz Clarke's Wine Guide until you add more memory.
- If you are running Windows 3.1 in 386 Enhanced mode, set up a
permanent Windows swap file on your hard disk. A swap file of greater
than 4MB (4,096KB) is recommended. See your Windows documentation for
more information.
- To accelerate video performance in Windows 3.1, edit the file
'OZWINE.INI' (in your Windows directory) with Notepad. Change the line
"DIBMemDC=On" to "DIBMemDC=Off.
NOTE: Modifying this line may cause incompatibilities with certain
video configurations. If this is the case, simply change the line back
to "DIBMemDC=On".
4. CD-ROM PROBLEMS
==================
CD-ROM read problems are often the result of a scratched or dirty CD.
To clean the CD, use a damp cloth, wiping gently from the center hole
out toward the edge of the disk. Wiping in any other direction grinds
the dirt into the protective surface. Do NOT use abrasives or chemical
solvents, including benzine, thinner, or commercial cleaners intended
for use with CD audio disks.
If the Wine Guide program cannot find the data files that it needs from
the Wine Guide CD-ROM, you'll see a message asking you to select the
drive containing the files. To find the source of the problem, do the
following:
- Make sure the Oz Clarke's Wine Guide compact disk is correctly
inserted into the CD-ROM drive.
- Make sure that the Oz Clarke's Wine Guide program is looking for the
compact disk on the correct drive. Check to see if the drive letter
for your CD-ROM drive has changed. You can use the Windows 3.1 File
Manager or Windows 95 Explorer to determine which drive letter is
assigned to the CD-ROM drive. In File Manager, the Select Drive
command in the Disk menu will say "CD-ROM" next to the CD-ROM drive
letter. The Windows 95 Explorer will display the Wine Guide icon next
to the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.
- If you have an external CD-ROM drive, make sure that the drive is
connected to your computer, plugged in, and turned on. If you still
see the error message after checking the points above, check the
documentation that came with your CD-ROM drive or contact the company
that supplied the drive.
- Check your documentation to make sure that your CD-ROM drive is MPC-1
compatible, double-speed or higher. Double-speed MPC-1 compatible
drives meet the following criteria:
1. An average seek time of less than one second;
2. A transfer rate of 300KB per second while using less than 40% of
the CPU bandwidth.
A CD-ROM drive that does not meet these specifications will exhibit
slow performance and/or "Audio blips/Interruptions" when sound is
played.
NOTE: Do not remove the Oz Clarke's Wine Guide compact disk from your
CD-ROM drive while running Oz Clarke's Wine Guide.
5. PRINTING AND COPYING
=======================
You can print most screens in Oz Clarke's Wine Guide: either as a
picture of the screen, or as text. You can also copy either a picture
of the screen, or the text from it, to your clipboard. Use the Options
button at the bottom of the window, and choose Print Window/Text or
Copy Window/Text from the menu that appears. Some pages have only a
small amount of text, which is actually part of a bitmap - in these
cases the Print Text and Copy Text commands will be greyed out.
Because the pictures can be quite large, you may have difficulty
copying or printing in low-memory conditions. In this case, close all
other unnecessary running applications and try again, or print or copy
the text only.
The Print and Copy commands on the Options button affect only the
topmost window, excluding the Wine Selector Window. The Wine Selector
has its own controls for printing lists of wines, and for printing and
copying the text of wine profiles.
6. QUICKTIME FOR WINDOWS and QUICKTIME 3
========================================
This section does not apply if your computer is running Windows 3.1 - it
only applies if your computer is running Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows
98 or a newer version of Windows.
Apple Computer, Inc's QuickTime software is used to play all the audio
and video in Oz Clarke's Wine Guide. There are two versions of
QuickTime provided on the CD-ROM; "QuickTime for Windows" can be used on
any version of Windows from 3.1 onwards, including Windows 95 and
Windows 98; "QuickTime 3" can only be used on more recent ("32-bit")
versions of Windows, such as Windows 95 and Windows 98. There are two
versions of the Wine Guide program provided on the CD-ROM; one
("16-bit") to use QuickTime for Windows, and one ("32-bit") to use
QuickTime 3.
If your computer is running Windows 3.1, you must use QuickTime for
Windows, and this is what the Wine Guide setup will have installed on
your computer.
If your computer is running Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows 98, you
can use either version of QuickTime; the Wine Guide setup will have
installed the 32-bit version of QuickTime on your computer and
the 32-bit version of the Wine Guide program. If you experience
problems with audio or video, you may find that QuickTime for Windows
works better on your computer. To use it, you will need to install
the 16-bit versions of QuickTime and the Wine Guide program.
To install the 16-bit version of the Wine Guide program on your
computer, drag the file "wine16.exe" from the "qtup" on the CD-ROM, to
the folder on your hard disk where the file "wine32.exe" is. This is
probably the folder "C:\Program Files\DKIL\Ozwine\", unless you specified a
different location when you ran Wine Guide setup. You can now launch
the 16-bit version of the Wine Guide program by double-clicking on the
file "wine16.exe"; however the shortcut in your Start Menu will still
point at the 32-bit version, "wine32.exe". We suggest you try both
programs, and if you feel that the 16-bit version performs better,
modify the shortcut in your Start menu.
To add a shortcut in your Start menu to the 16-bit version of the Wine
Guide program, after you've installed it as described in the above
paragraph: select Start; Settings; Taskbar & Start Menu, to open the
Taskbar Properties window. Click the tab "Start Menu Programs". Click
the button "Add...". Locate the "wine16.exe" file; click the button
"Next"; then tell Windows where to put the shortcut (for example select
the folder "Oz Clarke's Wine Guide") and click the button "Next";
finally tell Windows what to call the shortcut. You can choose to call
the shortcut "Oz Clarke's Wine Guide", in which case it will replace the
existing shortcut; or you could call it something like "Wine Guide
(32-bit)", so that you will have two shortcuts on the menu.
To run the 16-bit version of the Wine Guide program you must also install
QuickTime for Windows, which you can do by double-clicking on the file
"QTINSTAL.EXE", located in the folder "QT16" on the top level of the
CD-ROM.
On Windows 95/98 and higher the Oz Clarke's Wine Guide CD-ROM is set up
to launch the 32-bit version of the Wine Guide program automatically when
the disk is inserted (or to launch the Wine Guide setup if it is needed).
If you prefer to use the 16-bit version of the Wine Guide program, you must
modify the "ozwine.ini" file to point at it. To do this, from the Start menu
choose "Run...". Type "ozwine.ini" (without the quotation marks) into
the box, and click the button "OK". The file "ozwine.ini" will be
opened in Notepad or Wordpad. Locate the line beginning "EXEPath=", and
modify it so that it refers to the location of the 16bit version of the
Wine Guide program - for example, if you copied it to the same place as
the 32-bit version, just change the end of the line to read "WINE16.EXE"
instead of "WINE32EXE".
7. QUICKTIME FOR WINDOWS PROBLEMS
=================================
This section applies to QuickTime for Windows. If your computer is
running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT, please review section 6,
"QUICKTIME FOR WINDOWS and QUICKTIME 3", above.
QuickTime Display Problems
--------------------------
In some cases, QuickTime for Windows can cause Oz Clarke's Wine Guide
to display movies incorrectly, or even to crash. If this is the case,
please follow these instructions.
1. From the "QTUP" folder on the CD-ROM, double-click the file QTUP.EXE.
2. Restart the computer.
Now trying running Oz Clarke's Wine Guide, and see if this has fixed
the problem.
If this does not help, please follow these instructions.
1. Open the QuickTime control panel. (Please note this is the
QuickTime control panel, as distinct from the QuickTime 32 control
panel that may also be present.)
If this causes your screen display to appear strange, or your computer
to crash, please read the section 'Adjusting QuickTime Display by
Hand' below.
2. Click the Verify Setup button.
3. A dialog box should appear saying 'No installation problems
detected'.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
5. Click the 'More' button at the bottom of the QuickTime Control
Panel.
6. Click the 'Video' tab at the top of the QuickTime Control Panel.
7. From the Draw Method selection list, choose 'Bitmap (BMP)'.
8. Click the 'Close' button, and then click the 'Yes' button in the
dialog that appears afterwards.
9. Restart the computer.
Now trying running Oz Clarke's Wine Guide, and see if this has fixed
the problem.
Adjusting QuickTime for Windows Display by Hand
-----------------------------------------------
If opening the QuickTime control panel causes your computer to crash
or produces strange images on your screen, you can change QuickTime's
setting by hand:
1. On Windows 95: Click the Start button, and then choose Run from the
menu. On Windows 3.1: Go to the Program Manager, and choose Run from
the file menu.
2. Type in 'qtw.ini' (do not include the quotes), and press return.
This should open a window in which you can edit the qtw.ini file.
3. Look in the file for the line that exactly matches:
[Video]
If there is no such line, move the cursor to the end of the file, and
create a new line just containing the text '[Video]' (without the
quotes).
4. Look for a line just below the '[Video]' line that starts with the
word 'Optimize'. Change the line to read:
Optimize=BMP
If there is no line that starts with 'Optimize', create a new line
directly below the '[Video]' line, containing the text 'Optimize=BMP'
(without the quotes).
5. Use the File menu to Save and then Exit to close the window.
6. Restart the computer, and try running Wine Guide again.
If Wine Guide still crashes, see if you can open the QuickTime control
panel.
8. AUDIO PROBLEMS
=================
You may not be able to play video clips in Windows 95 if you did not
install Multimedia files during the Windows 95 setup. To install these
files, double click on the "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel. Click
the Windows Setup tab and double-click the Multimedia entry. Locate
the Audio Compression entry and click the box to its left (a check
mark should appear). Finally, click the OK button on both the
Multimedia and Add/Remove Program Property boxes.
Audio problems can have many causes. Other applications that play
sounds may interrupt sounds in Oz Clarke's Wine Guide, because your
computer cannot play two sounds simultaneously. This is generally a
temporary clash that will resolve itself. However, a few applications
that play sounds, such as some screen savers, may remove audio
capability from all other Windows applications. If you suspect you
have such an application, deactivate it or do not run it while using
Oz Clarke's Wine Guide.
a. Sounds play, but not very well.
Sounds that are distorted or "fuzzy" have several possible causes,
the most likely being that the speakers are not of high quality.
Low frequency sounds may not reproduce well on some equipment.
It is also possible that the software settings on your sound board are
causing distortion. For example, if the sound card volume or "WAVE
file input" is set to near its maximum, it will produce amplification
distortion, just as it would on a stereo system. To find out how to
change your sound board settings, check the documentation that came
with your sound board.
Your CD-ROM drive should be MPC-1 compatible, double-speed or higher.
Double-speed MPC-1 compatible drives meet the following criteria:
1. An average seek time of less than one second;
2. A transfer rate of 300KB per second while using less than 40% of
the CPU bandwidth.
Check the documentation that came with your CD-ROM drive to make sure
it meets these requirements. An incompatible CD-ROM drive may work;
however, it may produce low-quality audio or cause the sound to be
interrupted while playing.
b. Sound doesn't play at all.
If you don't hear any sounds, make sure that the volume on the
speakers is set to a reasonable level. Also make sure that the
speakers are plugged into the mains power or have working batteries,
and that the speakers are switched on.
Windows 95 can also control the volume independently of the speakers.
To check this, open the Volume Control accessory: Click the Start
button, choose the Programs menu, choose the Accessories menu, choose
the Multimedia menu, and finally choose Volume Control from this menu.
Make sure that the volumes are at a reasonable level, and that they
are not muted. Wine Guide will play its sound at the Wave volume.
You should also check that the speakers are plugged into computer
correctly. Usually this means they are plugged into the sound card at
the back of the computer (the headphones socket on the front of most
computers is only for listening to music CDs, and a few CD-ROMs such
as Microsoft's Encarta). There may be more than one place where the
speakers can plug in, and you should check the documentation for your
sound card to make sure that you have the right socket.
Oz Clarke's Wine Guide uses QuickTime for Windows to play the audio
and video (which is installed by the 'Setup' program). If you do not
appear to be getting any audio or video, you may find it helpful to
look at the QuickTime control panel, which has a button for verifying
the installation.
If the volume is set to an audible level and you still hear no sounds
at all, something may be wrong with your sound board setup. Check to
see that the drivers are installed correctly and, if necessary,
reinstall them. To determine if the sound drivers are installed: in
Windows 3.1, check the Drivers section of the Windows control panel;
in Windows 95, check the System control panel, under the Device
Manager tab. For more information on installing your sound drivers,
refer to the documentation that came with your sound card. If you have
any problems, contact your sound board manufacturer for assistance.
Please note that Oz Clarke's Wine Guide requires an MPC-compatible
sound board and is not intended to run with drivers which use the PC
speaker, such as the unsupported "PC Speaker" driver. Such a driver
will in most cases not play any sounds, and if the driver setup option
"Enable Interrupts" is not checked, the system may lock up. In Windows
3.1, check the "Drivers" configuration in your Windows control Panel;
In Windows 95, check the System control panel, under the Device
Manager tab. If you have both a sound board and the PC Speaker driver
installed, it is recommended that you remove the PC Speaker driver.
Media Vision Cards
------------------
A small number of Media Vision sound card drivers (Pro Audio -
Spectrum cards) may have problems with sound in Oz Clarke's Wine
Guide. If you have a Media Vision card and do not hear sounds or are
having other sound problems, you might require updated drivers.
Contact Media Vision for current driver information.
If you are running Oz Clarke's Wine Guide on an EISA machine and
experience "scratchy" audio, try changing the DMA channel on the sound
card to DMA 7.
9. GRAPHICS ADAPTOR AND DISPLAY PROBLEMS
========================================
Display problems are usually caused by the bugs in your computer's
graphics adaptor driver software. The problems may appear as a split
or corrupt screen, or a jigsaw effect; occasionally display problems
may cause problems printing, or even cause your computer to crash.
Most display problems can be solved by making sure that you are using
the most recent driver software available for your graphics adaptor.
To find out which graphics adaptor is installed in your computer:
- On Windows 3.1. Go to the Program Manager's Main group window and
double-click the Windows Setup icon. To the right of "Display" you
will see the name of the video driver currently in use.
- On Windows 95. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then
choose Control Panel; Double-click Display; Click the Settings tab; If
there is a button called 'Advanced Properties' click that, otherwise,
if there is a button called 'Change Display Type' click that; the name
of the graphics adapter, and its version should be displayed on the
screen.
To obtain an updated driver for your graphics adapter contact the
manufacturer. If you have access to the Internet, you may be able to
obtain updated drivers from the manufacturer's web site. Two other
sources for new drivers are Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility List,
and C-NET's DOWNLOAD.COM:
<http://www.microsoft.com/hwtest/hcl/>
<http://www.download.com/>
In the USA, another option for obtaining updated drivers is the
Microsoft Download (MSDL) service, an electronic bulletin board that
can be accessed via a modem at (206) 936-MSDL(6735). It is best to
download the file or files you need into an empty directory on your
hard disk or a blank formatted floppy. To decompress these drivers
after downloading them, double click on the file.
Below are details of known problems with specific graphics adaptors.
ATI Mach32 drivers in Windows 3.1
---------------------------------
Oz Clarke's Wine Guide is incompatible with some features of older ATI
Mach32 video driver revisions. To check whether these features are
active, run the ATI Flexdesk Control Panel and click the "Advanced
Features" button. Make sure that the "256 color palette" option is
turned ON and the Crystal Fonts option is turned OFF.
If you still experience video problems, you may wish to install the ATI
Mach32 driver located in the "\wdrivers" directory on the CD-ROM. Copy
the file "atimach32.exe" to a temporary directory using the File
Manager and then double click the file to decompress it. In the File
Manager double click to open "loader.exe". For further details, consult
your video card documentation or contact ATI technical support at (905)
882-2626, or try their Web site,
<http://support.atitech.ca/drivers/drivers.html> which may have even
newer drivers.
#9GXE64 drivers
---------------
You may see split or misplaced images if you are using an old #9GXE64
video driver with Windows 3.1 in 256 color mode. To resolve this
problem, install the newer #9GXE64 driver located in the "\wdrivers"
directory on the Wine Guide CD-ROM. Copy the file "#9gxe64.exe" to a
temporary directory using the File Manager and then double click the
file to decompress it. In the File Manager, double-click to run the
"setup.exe" program. You may wish to contact Number Nine customer
support at (617) 674-0009 or visit their Web site at
<http://www.nine.com/support/drivers/index.html> to obtain the latest
set of video drivers.
Avance Logic drivers
--------------------
You may see split or misplaced images if you are using an old Avance
Logic video driver with Windows 95 in 256 color mode. To resolve this
problem, go to the Display control panel, and under the Settings tab
choose a 'Color Palette' of 'High Color (16-bit)', or 'True Color
(32-bit)'.
Matrox MGA driver
-----------------
If your Windows 3.1 screen turns unusual colors while in 640x480 mode
with 8 bit color, go to the Matrox display control panel and turn the
Quick Color Dithering Process (QCDP) on. The problem will go away.
STB Lightspeed 128 adapter under Windows 95
-------------------------------------------
There is an incompatibility between QuickTime for Windows and the STB
Lightspeed 128 video adapter. If Wine Guide refuses to run, shows a
blank screen or crashes your computer, you may need to re-optimise
your QuickTime settings. For information on how to do this, read
section 7 of this document, 'QUICKTIME FOR WINDOWS PROBLEMS'.
General Solution under Windows 3.1
----------------------------------
Many graphics adaptors can be run as a Super VGA adaptor. This uses
Microsoft's general driver software, and so avoids many problems with
a particular manufacturer's driver software. This is often a useful
solution for laptop computers, where no new driver software is
available.
The Windows 3.1 SVGA driver is included on the Wine Guide disk in the
folder "/wdrivers"; it is also available from Microsoft's web site at
<http://www.microsoft.com/>.
To instal the SVGA drivers for Windows 3.1:
1. In File Manager create a directory on your hard disk called
"drivers".
2. Switch to the CD drive and select the SVGA.EXE file
from "\wdrivers" directory.
3. Copy this driver file to "c:\drivers" on your hard
disk.
4. On your hard disk, double click on the driver file to
install it.
5. Run Windows Setup from the Main group in Windows Program Manager.
6. In the Options menu, choose Change System Settings.
7. Click the down arrow to the right of the Display edit box, and
select "Other display" from the bottom of the list.
8. You will be asked to type in the path to the display driver you
wish to use. Enter "c:\drivers\".
9. A list of possible resolutions will appear. You should highlight
the 640x480 256 color resolution, and click OK.
10. The Display edit box should now show the new driver you
installed. Click OK.
11. If you are told that a driver for this display is already on the
system, you should choose to use the currently installed driver
by clicking the NEW button.
12. Restart Windows.
Please refer to your Windows documentation for a more complete
explanation.
General Solution under Windows 95
---------------------------------
Many graphics adaptors can be run as a Super VGA adaptor. This uses
Microsoft's general driver software, and so avoids many problems with
the manufacturer's driver software. This is often a useful solution
for laptop computers, where no new driver software is available.
To use the SVGA drivers:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then choose Control
Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. Click the Settings tab
4. If there is a button called 'Advanced Properties' click that,
otherwise, if there is a button called 'Change Display Type' click
that.
5. Click the Change button next to the Adapter Type.
6. Click Show All Devices. Write down the current setting in case you
need to change back later.
7. In the Manufacturer area, click '(Standard display types)'. This is
at the top of the list.
8. In the Models area, click 'Super VGA'.
9. Click OK, then Close, then click Close again.
10. Follow the screen directions. When prompted to restart the
computer, click Yes.
10. UNINSTALLING OZ CLARKE'S WINE GUIDE
======================================
The Setup program has two distinct jobs:
a. it installs the Wine Guide program ("WINE16.EXE") and 'read me'
file ("README.TXT") in the directory you request (most probably
"C:\OZWINE"); and makes either a Program Manager group (in Windows
3.1) or a Start menu item (in Windows 95/NT) for them.
b. if it is not already installed on your computer, it installs
QuickTime for Windows.
Similarly, there are two distinct phases to uninstalling Oz Clarke's
Wine Guide:
a. Removing the program, its 'read me' file, and configuration files.
1. From the start menu select "Programs", then "Oz Clarke's Wine Guide".
Click on "Remove Oz Clarke's Wine Guide". This will remove the
Wine Guide program and associated files
b. Uninstalling QuickTime. You may wish to keep QuickTime installed
on your computer, even if you uninstall Oz Clarke's Wine Guide, as it
