- VIRTUAL SPORTS - Volume One
-
- Welcome to VIRTUAL SPORTS - Volume 1. Please be aware that we
- have tested all the games on this CD before installing them,
- however, not all computer systems are set up the same, so
- some programs may not run well on your particular system with
- your particular hardware setup. If you DO experience trouble
- with any game, consult the following tips before giving up on
- the game:
-
- 1. NOT ENOUGH MEMORY.
- Check your system's free memory with the 'mem' command and run
- 'memmaker' if necessary to free up more conventional memory. If
- you are already over 600k free and the game still requires more
- memory, you can squeeze a little more out by diabling your
- 'smartdrive' in the autoexec.bat and config.sys files.
-
- 2. NO EMS MEMORY.
- Run the 'memmaker' command and anwser 'yes' to the EMS memory
- prompt to enable EMS memory.
-
- 3. MISSING FILE/BAD COMMAND.
- Try installing the game to your hard drive by copying all the files
- into a separate directory on your hard drive. The game may be trying
- to save changes to a configuration file, and this will cause an
- error as it tries to write to your CD-rom.
-
- 4. VIDEO ERRORS.
- Many games require 256 color capabilities. so you will need
- a video card with 512k or more of memory on the board and set to
- the 256 color mode. Consult your video card documentation. Other
- unusual video cards may give erratic results on some games.
-
- 5. SOUND CARD PROBLEMS.
- Many games auto-detect the presence of a sound card and will
- hang up if none is found. There's not much you can do if you
- don't have one. If the sound card's settings don't match that
- of the game, again, try installing the game to your hard drive and
- re-configure the settings with the setup command for that game.
-
- 6. OTHER EXECUTABLE FILES.
- Look in the directory for that particular game and check for other
- executable files i.e.,(.exe .com .bat) to see if they might
- start the game from within that game's directory in DOS. This helps
- on some systems where the startup batch file does not agree with
- your particular hardware setup.
-

- programs recorded on it. The programs on this disk are shareware,
