MICROFORUM'S DEATHDAY COLLECTION TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
=======================================================
Q: When I try to load a wad file in the menu, it takes me back to
the DOS prompt or the C:\dday directory.
A: There is a conflict with your Extended Memory Manager (EMM386, QEMM etc)
and DOOM or DOOM2. You need to reboot your system without loading EMM386.
The quickest and easiest way to do this is to reboot your system and when
it says "Starting MS-DOS", hit the F8 KEY. Answer "Y" to every line except the
one containing your "Extended Memory Manager (eg "...EMM386.."),
for which you should answer "N". Now try running the game.
Q: On loading, I get an "Insufficient Memory" error message.
A: It appears that you do not have enough conventional memory.
Follow the above step, and answer "N" to any device drivers
or TSR's not required to run DOOM.
Q: The Deathday menu refuses to load.
A: Do you have a registered version of DOOM or DOOM2 ?
The menu will not run if you only have a shareware version of the game.
Q: The selected wad file in the menu loads fine, but I do not notice
anything different in the game.
A: Some wad files are intended for different levels or episodes. Read the
mission briefing file by hitting the space bar when selecting a wad in the menu.
GENERAL PROBLEMS
================
Q: When running the Microforum catalog, I do not see any videos in the demos.
A: You have not installed the Videos For Windows driver. To install, double-click
on the "Video For Windows" icon in the "Microforum's Catalog" group.
Q: I have installed Video For Windows, and I still do not see any videos.
A: Go to FILE MANAGER >> FILE >> SEARCH. In the "Search For:" field, type
"msvideo.dll" and in the "Start From:" field, type "c:\windows" and hit OK.
Any files that show up in the search results window should be deleted (go to
FILE >> DELETE). Now try re-installing Video For Windows and run the catalog as
usual.
