To start the adventure, double-click on the "Baylor99" icon. The program will check to see that your system has QuickTime 4.0 installed. If it does not, the program quit and inform you that QuickTime 4.0 is not installed. If this happens, please open the QuickTime Installer folder on the CD and double click on the Installer icon after reading yet another Readme file.
Virtual Memory
-----------------------------------------
We strongly suggest disabling Virtual Memory in the Memory Control Panel before using the CD-ROM (remember to restart after modifying settings). Running with virtual memory turned on may greatly degrade video performance. If your computer does not have enough memory to run without virtual memory, try creating a custom extension set that uses a minimum number of extensions.
PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------
* 32 MB of RAM. In the finder, see "About this Computer" under the Apple pull-down Menu for info about your system's memory.
* 120-MHz 604 PowerPC processor or better
* QuickTime 4.0 and its associated components (included).
* 4x CD-ROM drive.
* MacOS 8.1
* A monitor and video support capable of displaying at least thousands of colors at 640x480.
(To check and see if you have the right settings, check the "Monitors" control
panel from your Apple Pull-Down Menu.)
PERFORMANCE HINTS
---------------------------------
For best performance, especially in the playback of movies, be sure you follow these procedures:
* Turn off Virtual Memory from the Memory control panel.
* Turn off file sharing and other network software. Or, just turn off AppleTalk from
the Chooser.
* Do not have any other applications running. Even small applications (e.g. Stickies)
should be quit.
* Turn off as many extensions/control panels/inits as possible if you are still low on
Memory.
* If using a PowerBook, turn off processor cycling and use the faster processor speed.
* Try to maximize your "largest unused block" of memory. See below:
MEMORY
---------------------------------
You need to have at least 14 MB of memory available for this title 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 them.
If your system has 32 MB of system memory, you may have to work a little to make enough space for the program. If 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 Computer" from the Apple menu. If your System Software is larger than 18MB, you may have trouble. Try eliminating some inits, extensions, control panels, or fonts to reduce the size of your System Software. Then restart your computer, and try again. Conflict Catcher or Extensions Manager is helpful when disabling inits/extensions/cdevs.
BUGS AND OTHER PROBLEMS
-------------------------------------------
We've worked really hard to make this program bug-proof and fun to use. But there may still be some problems that you will encounter. If you are having problems, first check to see that your computer is set up properly and review some of the suggestions in this Read Me file.
If you are convinced everything is OK with your computer, you may have discovered a bug or design problem. If so, we'd like to hear about it.
Please send email to: support@electours.com
Please, no phone calls! We will be happy to look into whatever problem you may be having, however we must limit correspondence to e-mail.
Describe the problem in as much detail as you can. Describe where and how it happened. Include all the details about your computer, too (e.g., G3 400MHz, 524MB Ram, System 8.5, 35' monitor). There are so many different combinations of equipment and software, that it's difficult to know what is going on without all the information describing a system. Your bug report will help make future titles better.
