- Troubleshooting :
- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- Q: Keyboard doesn't work.
-
- A: Due to the nature of PC keyboard hardware the keyboard sometimes
- loses keypresses if several keys are pressed simultaneously.
- This can be avoided by selecting certain keys, which don't 'interfere'
- with the others. Use SETUP.EXE to change them. Default keys should work
- fine with most keyboards.
-
- Q: Why ist'n my sound card working ?
-
- A: Check that your sound card is compatible with Adlib (music) and/or
- Sound Blaster (sound effects). Use SETUP.EXE to determine the
- I/O base address of your card ( usually 220h ). If you find any
- bugs in sound system please contact us.
-
- If you have Gravis Ultrasound use SBOS - Sb driver.
-
- Q: Why I get 'sb reset' message and game slows down?
-
- A: You have chosen a wrong sound configuration in SETUP.EXE.
- Try again using the sb2.0, pro or 16 option.
-
- Q: Why does my machine lock up while starting the game ?
-
- A: You don't have enough memory.
- Threat needs 600,000 bytes to run with sounds and 550,000 bytes
- to run without them.
- - Use a boot disk to start the machine with enough memory.
- - Create AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS which loads as little
- as possible programs into the memory.
- - Load DOS to high memory.
- - Threat doesn't use mouse so leave the mouse driver unloaded.
- - See DOS manual to do all this.
-
- Q: Why don't the episodes 2 and 3 work ?
-
- A: You have to register to get the two final episodes.
- Please see ORDER.EXE and ORDER.FRM !
-
- Q: What does message 'file error' mean ?
-
- A: One or more files are missing. Try to get a new copy of Threat.
-
- Q: Joystick doesn't work
-
- A: Joystick works ONLY during gameplay and shop, not in menus. Joystick
- must be plugged in Port 1. During startup of Threat the program
- expects that the joystick is in center position. You can adjust
- your joystick by keeping in different position while startup.
-
- See also instructions in the game.
