- Creative Multimedia Corporation's CD-Sampler
- Windows Version
-
- Thank you for your interest in Creative Multimedia's CD-Sampler.
- Listed below are some performance and trouble-shooting tips.
-
- Installation:
- =============
- To install select FILE, then RUN from the File Manager
- Main Menu. You will be prompted to enter a command. Enter 'X:\setup'
- where 'X' is the letter of your CD-ROM drive. Follow the on-screen
- instructions.
-
-
- Troubleshooting and Performance Tips
- =====================================
-
- Screen Savers
- =============
- Disable any screen savers before using Creative Multimedia's CD-Sampler.
- Screen savers may interfere with the display of graphics and cursors.
-
- Windows Drivers
- ===============
- Be sure you are using the latest Windows drivers for your graphics and
- sound cards.
-
- Set your video driver to 640x480x256 colors for best performance.
-
- Virtual Memory
- ==============
- Check that your Windows system includes a virtual memory swap file (a
- permanent file provides the best performance) of the size recommended by
- the Windows Setup procedure. Also check that 32-bit Disk Access is
- turned on.
-
- General Protection Faults
- =========================
- If you are receiving a general protection fault, or if the program
- returns to Windows Program Manager for no reason, there is probably a
- conflict between the CD-Sampler and some other program loaded into
- memory. Try closing any other Windows programs that you are running.
- Disable programs which are loaded into memory when you boot your
- computer (TSRs). You might also try editing the SYSTEM.INI file in the
- Windows directory, under the heading [386Enh], to include the line:
- EMMExclude=A000-EFFF.
-
- Performance
- ===========
- Creative Multimedia's CD-Sampler uses QuickTime for Windows. To increase
- performance you might try modifying the QTW.INI file in your Windows
- directory. Make the modifications suggested in QTW.INI. If the CD-Sampler
- locks up due to the changes, you should switch to the original setting.
- Some video cards may not work with the 'Optimize=hardware' setting.
-
- If the program runs extremely slowly, check the EMM386 statement in your
- Config.SYS file to see if your RAM is being allocated to expanded
- memory. If so, try changing the line so that it reads:
- 'DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS'. Save your original file so that you
- can restore your system to its original configuration if you need to.
-
- Use the DOS 'mem' command to verify that you have at 500K of
- conventional memory. If you do not, consult your DOS manual for ways to
- increase conventional memory.
-
- If possible, close all other open Windows applications. This provides
- the maximum possible memory.
-
- Director Player 3.0 for Windows
- ===============================
- If during startup you receive the message "Script Error: XLib File
- Not Found", check the path in the Autoexe.bat file for reference to
- Director Player For Windows - "Player". If found, remove this from the
- path and restart computer.
