========================================================
This FAQ file should help in making Albatros installation
clearer should the installation program not proceed smoothly.
September '94, Norbert Heller
========================================================
Q: I have Albatros installed, but when i try to start it, it says MDM.***
not found or the program does not start and instead shows a settings
page.
A: Please install MMPM/2 for OS/2.
Q: I have MMPM/2 installed, but Albatros shows "NO DISC" even when there
is an AUDIO CD in the drive.
A: There are two possible solutions:
1) You installed MMPM/2 but forgot to install CD ROM support, just
reinstall CD ROM support in MMPM/2.
2) You installed CD ROM support in MMPM/2 but the path is incorrect.
Check in the MMPM/2 setup to find out if the CD ROM refers to the
correct drive letter.
Q: Albatros starts fine, but there is no sound coming through the speaker,
even when I turn the Albatros volume knob all the way up.
A: This problem is usually related to your sound card. When the CD ROM
wiring is connected to the CD ROM input of your sound card, the input
of your sound card is sometimes set to "0".
You will have to use a PMMIXER program for your sound card to enable
the CD ROM Sound input to anything higher than "0".
On an IBM or compatible computer it might help to start the Wave Editor
applet to restore your CD Sound ( sounds strange, but it works ! )
Q: Albatros shows a totally black display ( I had Version 1.2 and
everything was fine until I upgraded to 1.6x ).
A: The color selector has changed. Please go to notebook, page three and
select COLOR-DEFAULT. This will restore your colors.
Q: What is the Font Developers Kit good for ?
A: To create you own LCD Style Fonts ( It requires the OS/2 Programming
Toolkit )
Q: I had quite a few titles entered in CD EXPLORER, do I have to type them
again?
A: No, use the STEALTXT.CMD file for extracting titles from the CD Explorer
INI file.
Q: When I try to select a new color from the color palette and drop it on
the color preview page, the color of the background is changed, but not
the foreground.
A: Please use CTRL-Right mouse button to change the foreground color.
Q: I am using WARP II Beta and there is no CD ROM Support ?
A:
*) Open a session (Dos or Os/2)
*) change directory to /mmos2
*) edit the mmpm2.ini file...
*) add the CDaudio line to the drivers section, e.g.
[Drivers]
Digitalvideo=IBMDIGVIDPLAYER01
Waveaudio=IBMWAVESB01
Sequencer=IBMSEQSB01
Ampmix=IBMAMPMIXSB01
Speaker=SPEAKER
Headphone=HEADPHONE
Microphone=MICROPHONE
CDaudio=IBMCD010_1 <---------------------add this
*) add the following to the end of the file...
[IBMCD010_1]
VERSIONNUMBER=1
PRODUCTINFO=DEFAULT
MCDDRIVER=CDAUDIO
VSDDRIVER=GENCDVSD
PDDNAME=CDROM
MCDTABLE=MDM
RESOURCENAME=F: <----------------change to your drive letter
DEVICEFLAG=1
DEVICETYPE=3
SHARETYPE=2
RESOURCEUNITS=1
RESOURCECLASSES=1,1
PARMSTRING=Drive=F,Model=DEFAULT DEFAULT1 <----change drive letter
CONNECTORS=1,6,HEADPHONE,1
ALIASNAME=Compact Disc
*) Save the file
*) Shutdown OS/2
*) Reboot
Q: I have troubles with the displayed fonts (cd player looks bad, half of
the display not visible).
A : This problem is related to your graphic device driver (e.g. new ATI
mach 32 version 85).
To fix this copy the following lines into a file called "FIXDEV.CMD"
and run it.
/* */
call RxFuncAdd "SysIni", "RexxUtil", "SysIni"
AppName = "PM_SystemFonts"
KeyName = "DefaultFont"
FontName = "10.System Proportional Non-ISO"
call SysIni "USER", AppName, KeyName, FontName||"0"x
exit
