Question/Answer Q: How does BOOKIE know how my Sound Blaster Compatible Sound is setup? A: Type SET at the DOS prompt, if you see "BLASTER=A220 D1 I5 T3" The A220 indicates address 220, the I5 indicates interrupt 5, the D1 means DMA channel 1 and must be set at 1. BOOKIE uses the BLASTER variable to setup your sound. Q: Sound plays for a few seconds and then stops. A: During your Sound Blaster installation, you may have selected the wrong interrupt number (we suggest INT# 5). Type SET at the DOS prompt and read the BLASTER setting. - OR - You may be running from Windows. Some old Windows Sound Drivers do not work properly with DOS. Try exiting Windows and running BOOKIE from DOS. Q: My mouse doesn't work? A: Make sure you have a DOS Mouse Driver installed. Typically, you can simply type the word MOUSE at the DOS prompt or add a line to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT that says MOUSE. Your mouse driver may be called GMOUSE or LMOUSE as well.
