The Seventh Guest Readme File

Last minute notes:


MSCDEX low memory conditions
-----------------------------

We recommend using around 20 buffers when installed MSCDEX, we also recommend
placing these buffers in high memory.  A typical MSCDEX line would look like
this:

	MSCDEX /d:DRIVER /m:20 /e /v

MSCDEX allocates memory dynamically, as does The Seventh Guest.  If The
Seventh Guest should freeze, it may be due to MSCDEX allocating memory.  The
minimum amount of free memory should be 570k.


Windows 3.1 sound drivers
--------------------------

If you have been running Windows, and using a Windows sound driver, it is
recommended that you reboot your machine before playing The Seventh Guest,
these drivers sometimes leave the soundcard in an unstable state.


General MIDI devices
---------------------

Please reset your General Midi device before starting The Seventh Guest.


Pro Audio Spectrum 16 devices
------------------------------

Before playing The Seventh Guest, please adjust your mixer settings using the
PAS program, the best way of doing this is to type "PAS *".


No sound during introduction
-----------------------------

Sound is playing throughout the introduction, but it is playing from the
CD drive itself.  Make sure that your CD-ROM drive is hooked up for sound
as well as your sound card(s).


Using IBM OS/2 or Microsoft Windows NT
---------------------------------------

Under OS/2 2.1 it is possible to play The Seventh Guest, although it is
recommended that you use MS-DOS.  If you are experiencing problems running
under OS/2, try booting DOS before calling Virgin Games Customer Service.

Windows NT is not compatible at this time with The Seventh Guest.


Aborted Games are saved
------------------------

If your game should for some reason abort (playing from a Windows shell for
instance), the game will save a file called "save.z".  Rename this file to
save.0 through save.9 (just one) and you will be able to load back your
current game.  This may not always work, so save often anyway.


Open House!
------------

Once you have completed The Seventh Guest, it will save a special game in
your save game zero (0) slot.  This saved game will be called "OPEN HOUSE"
it allows you to roam the house freely and play all the puzzles as many times
as you want.
