OSMMHOYL - HOYLE CLASSIC GAMES BY SIERRA GENERATES A GENERAL PROTECTION
FAULT
05/16/96
=======================================================================
Hoyle Classic Games by Sierra Generates a General Protection Fault
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
During installation of the CD-ROM version of Hoyle Classic Games, a
General Protection Fault is generated in SETUP.EXE at location
0003:2c63. This occurs whenever the application's minimum system
requirement test is run on the CD-ROM drive.
Because the CD-ROM hardware test fails, you are unable to install
Hoyle from the CD-ROM.
RESOLUTION
You can request the diskette version of the game or the manual
installation instructions from Sierra, or you can run the game from
the CD-ROM.
Run the Game from the CD-ROM
----------------------------
Execute SIERRA.EXE from the Windows command line. To enhance
performance when running from the CD-ROM, do the following:
1. Change the Settings to:
DOS_FILES = 30
DOS_HIGH = ON
DOS_UMB = ON
DPMI_DOS_API = ENABLE
DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT = 64
EMS_MEMORY_LIMIT = 4096
HW_TIMER = ON
IDLE_SECONDS = 60
IDLE_SENSITIVITY = 100
INT_DURING_IO = ON
SESSION_PRIORITY = 32
XMS_MEMORY_LIMIT = 4096
2. Decrease delay time between processes or Timer clicks:
[timer.drv]
TIMERMax386Res=1
TIMERMax286Res=1
Default setting for TIMERMax statements is 10
3. Increase buffer sizes allocated for CD-ROM:
Change: IFS=C:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /Q
To: IFS=C:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /C:16 /M:32 /Q
For an explanation of the /C and /M: switches, type HELP CDFS.IFS at
an OS/2 command prompt; then double-click on arguments. Sixteen (16)
and thirty-two (32),respectively, are the maximum values for these
switches.
Note: If you use the disk install, be sure to select NO
when asked if you want to test the hardware. Do NOT
click on the CD-ROM hardware test when the hardware
test panel is displayed. As long as all the other
tests are passed, the installation continues.
