Thank you for purchasing the Music Game CD, a fun and
challenging multimedia game that will help you learn
music. We hope that it will bring you many hours of
learning and entertainment. However before you start,
please take a few moments to read this document.
System Requirements
-------------------
The Music Game CD requires the following hardware and
software to run smoothly:
* Windows 3.1 or later
-----------------------
You should have at least 8 MB of virtual memory
installed for Windows. To check your virtual
memory under Windows, from the Main window click
on the Control Panel icon and click on the 386
Enhanced icon, then press ALT + V for virtual
memory. Make sure that the type is permanent
memory, and that you are using 32-bit access.
For more information, check your Windows manual.
* 386DX or better Computer System
(486SX or Better Recommended)
-----------------------------------
If you have a 386SX system the program will
still work, but at a much slower speed. The
full motion video may lose too many frames and
appear extremely "choppy".
* Minimum 4 MB of RAM (8 MB or Higher Recommended)
* Windows Compatible Sound Card
--------------------------------
To make sure that your sound card is properly
installed under Windows, you should hear a sound
when you load Windows 3.1. If you have never
heard any sound in Windows please refer to your
sound card manuals.
* CD-ROM Drive
---------------
A CD-ROM drive with at least 350 Ms access time
or less is recommended. A slower CD-ROM drive
may also work, but the quality of the full
motion video might be poor. Also, make sure that
you have the latest or fastest software driver
installed for your CD-ROM (please refer to your
CD-ROM installation manual).
* SVGA Card
------------
Your SVGA card should be setup under Windows
with a resolution of 640x480 with 256 colors.
The application will work even if you have a 16
color display, however the quality and color of
the graphics and video will appear washed out.
To change your SVGA display driver under Windows
please refer to your SVGA and Windows manuals.
Installing The Music Game
-------------------------
Installing the Music Game CD is a relatively simple
process. Just run the SETUP.EXE program located in
the root directory of your Music Game CD-ROM. The
SETUP program will copy a few very small files to
your hard disk and create an icon group in Program
Manager. Follow the steps outlined below to
install the Music Game:
1. Load Windows.
2. From the main menu of Program Manager, select
the File menu and then select the Run...
option.
3. In the Command Line Box enter the letter of
your CD-ROM drive followed by the SETUP.EXE
file name. For example, if your CD-ROM drive
is E:, enter E:\SETUP.EXE and then click the
OK button.
4. The setup program will ask you what drive
letter contains the Music Game source files.
Just click your mouse over the Continue
button.
5. By default the Music Game files will be copied
to C:\MUSICGAM. Once again, just click your
mouse over the Continue button.
Installing the Run-Time Version of Microsoft Video For Windows
--------------------------------------------------------------
Since the Music Game CD uses full-motion video, it is
necessary to install the run-time version of Microsoft
Video for Windows. If you do not install the run-time
version of Microsoft Video for Windows the Music Game
CD will not work properly!
NOTE: If Microsoft Video for Windows version 1.1
is already installed on your system, please skip
the following steps.
1. From the main menu of Program Manager, select
the File menu and then select the Run...
option.
2. In the Command Line Box enter the letter of
your CD-ROM drive followed by the
\WINVIDEO\SETUP.EXE file name. For example,
if your CD-ROM drive is E:, enter
E:\WINVIDEO\SETUP.EXE and then click the OK
button.
3. Accept all the default prompts that the Video
for Windows installation program displays.
To fully enjoy this game we recommend the following
configuration:
* 486 DX/33 or higher
* 4MB or 8MB of RAM
* Windows 3.1 or later
* 12 MB of permanent virtual memory, with 32 bit
access.
* VGA card with 512K of RAM, 256 colour mode at
640x480 resolution.
* 16 bit sound card
* CD-ROM Drive with an access time of 340 Ms or less
(or a Double speed CD-ROM drive)
