--> MS DOS 5.0 or better.
--> 570 kilobytes of free RAM (or 500 kilobytes without sound).

Setup
▀▀▀▀▀
Before you can start Teen Agent, you must run SOUNDSET in order to configure
your sound card. To start the sound configuration program:
Switch to the drive and directory that contains Teen Agent.
For example:
C:
CD \TEENAGNT
Type SOUNDSET
** NOTE: The SOUNDSET program only needs to be run the first time you play, **
** or any time that you want to CHANGE your configuration. **
Starting The Game
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Starting From MS-DOS
--------------------
Once you have setup your sound card using the SOUNDSET program, you're ready
to run the game. Get into the directory where you have installed Teen Agent
( e.g. CD \TEENAGNT ) and type TEENAGNT.
Running the Game From Windows
-----------------------------
In all of our testing, Teen Agent runs quite well from Microsoft Windows.
We do, however, recommend running Teen Agent from DOS to allow the game full
use of system resources. To exit Windows, use the 'File' menu in the Program
Manager and select 'Exit Windows...'.
If you must launch Teen Agent from the Windows environment, use the
TEENAGNT.PIF as opposed to TEENAGNT.EXE.
Running the Game From OS/2
--------------------------
We recommend that you run Teen Agent from DOS only. However, if you decide
to run the game from OS/2, here are a few settings to try. These settings
allow Teen Agent to run on our machines using OS/2 Warp. Please note that
your results may be different depending on your version of OS/2 and
your specific computer configuration.

Not Enough Memory
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Teen Agent requires at least 570K of free DOS memory. When you run the
program, it will check how much memory is available and exit if there is
insufficient memory to play the game.
1. If you are using a DOS Shell, exit from this shell and run the game
from DOS only.
2. If you are launching Teen Agent from Windows and get a memory error,
you must exit Windows and run the game from DOS only.
3. If you are completely in DOS and still do not have enough free memory
to run the game, you must either boot your computer clean or unload some
of your TSR's and/or device drivers. We'll tackle booting your computer
clean.
Booting clean using DOS 6.00 or better
--------------------------------------
MS DOS 6.00 has a special built in function that makes it very easy to boot
your computer clean. When first booting your computer, MS DOS will
display the message "Starting MS-DOS...". When you see this message, hit
your F5 key. This will bypass your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS thereby
allowing your computer to boot without memory managers and TSRs.
Booting clean using a boot disk
-------------------------------
If you have a version of MS DOS below MS DOS 6.00, then you must create a
special boot disk. This boot disk will allow your computer to boot without
any memory managers, drivers, or TSRs. Here is how you create your boot
disk:
I. Find a blank disk and place it in your floppy drive A:
II. Type the command:
FORMAT A: /S
III. Once the format is complete, you will have a bootable floppy.
Now, to boot clean from a bootable floppy:
I. Place the disk in drive A: and reset your computer.
II. Patiently wait while your computer boots from the floppy disk.
Once it is finished, you must change to your hard disk drive by
typing the drive letter. For example, C:
III. Enter the directory where you installed Teen Agent
( e.g. CD \TEENAGNT ) and type TEENAGNT to start the game.
Common Problems and Solutions
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
PROB: I chose a sound card, however, the music does not play
------------------------------------------------------------
This is a sound card related problem. You have chosen an incorrect sound
setting for your sound card. You must re-run the SOUNDSET program and choose
the proper sound card address, dma channel, and irq. Please check your
sound card manuals for more information regarding these settings.
