TROUBLE SHOOTING
Here are some hints to help with common problems.
A)If Installation does not go smoothly:
1) Turn off all TSR's (Terminate and Stay
Resident Programs) before installating any
program. Examples of such programs are virus
scanners, screen savers, Windows resource
monitors and Windows RAM doublers.
2) If you load various programs upon Windows
startup by placing them in the Startup Group,
rename this group before installing your new
program. When the installation is completed,
change the name of this group back to Startup.
3) If you load programs upon Windows startup with
a load statement in win.ini, disable those statements
by placing a semi-colon (;)before each line that
begins with 'load'. Load statements may be found at
the top of the first section of win.ini which is called
[windows].
4) If these procedures are difficult for you, consult
your DOS and Windows manuals.
B) If the software does not run properly after installation,
consider the following before contacting us for tech support.
1 )Reality Software Windows programs will most likely not
operate properly on PC's with only 4Meg of RAM. 6Meg of
RAM may also not suffice on machines that have not been
optimized to the max and rigorously maintained.
3) If you use your PC often (several days per week) and
you do not regularly run the DOS utility CHKDSK, learn how
to do so immediately. If you do not regularly defragment
your hard drive, learn how to do so immediately. If you do
not regularly surface scan your hard drive, do so immediately.
2) Do not run our software with your monitor resolution
set at 16 million colors unless you have previously determined
that your PC can handle such resource stress. While
most video cards manufacturers state that their card will
display 16 million colors, this may not be possible if
there is not enough memory on either the card or PC
motherboard. Be certain that the video card is properly
configured for refresh rate, etc.
3) It is common to have video card - motherboard mismatch,
particularly with high end video cards and the first
generation of Pentium PC's that had hybrid PCI-IDE motherboards.
If you are experiencing display problems with some programs,
but not others in a manner that appears inconsistent, contact
the maker of your video card for tech support and driver updates.
When do we see true Plug and Play? Not yet, Windows 95 notwithstanding.
See our Tech Support Doc for information about how to
contact Reality Software.
