HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC ------------------------- Troubleshooting --------------- If you are having trouble running Heroes of Might and Magic and you are running EMM386 or MemMaker try: 1. Typing EMM386 OFF at your command prompt If EMM386 reports InActive then Heroes should run properly. Note: You will need to type EMM386 OFF everytime you reboot your computer. 2. Try REMing out EMM386 in your CONFIG.SYS: type the following at your command prompt and hit ENTER. EDIT C:\CONFIG.SYS (This will edit your system configuration) find the line DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE or the like and add to the front of the line REM ... i.e. REM DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE go to the File Menu and Select Exit and answer YES to save the changes. If you need to re-install EMM386 for any reason you can remove the REM at the front of the line. You will need to re-boot your computer for this change to take effect. If the install program says you do not have enough free space to Install Heroes of Might and Magic. 1. If you are running DoubleSpace, DriveSpace, Stacker or any kind of disk compression: a. Dos reports what the disk compressor tells it to report and not the TRUE value of Disk Space available. Your must free up space to install Properly. Failure to ensure enough REAL space is available will result in Heroes not functioning properly. 2. If you are running from Windows or Windows 95: a. Windows tends to save the files even after they have been deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin. b. Norton Utilities also will report more Disk Space then is available due to the Recycle Bin and protecting deleted files. c. Even though Dos reports you have enough free Disk Space you can only use whatever space if really available. Fix: If you are running Windows 95 and Norton Utilities for Windows 95 you must select the Recycle Bin by clicking with the Right Mouse Button, then selecting Empty Norton Protected Files. If you are using another version of a Utilitiy that saves deleted files then you must discard those files as well. -------------------------- The following information supplements that found in the manual.
