- TROUBLESHOOTING:
-
- Here are 3 of the most common problems:
-
- PROBLEM A.
- If you get any error message relating to THREED.VBX
- when installing the application then follow
- the instructions below:
-
- 1. Using File manager or Explorer locate all occurences
- of THREED.VBX on your hard drive and rename them to
- THREED.BAK.
- In some instances you may have to exit Windows and
- rename in DOS mode.
- 2. Exit Windows completely if you have not already done so.
- 3. Go back into Windows
- 4. Install the Task Force Demo again (File+Run Setup.exe)
- 5. Problem should be solved if you followed the instructions.
-
- PROBLEM B.
- If you get any error message stating that a specific
- file with a .DLL extension is in use then simply click the
- IGNORE button and the installation will continue without
- any problem.
-
- PROBLEM C.
- If you are getting a GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT when
- clicking on an image for the first time then this
- means a video driver conflict exists. To rectify
- the problem follow the instructions below:
- 1. Open the Task Force COMMANDER Demo application
- but DO NOT click on any image.
- 2. Click on the "Options" menu item and click
- on "Disable Drag/Drop" so that a check mark
- appears beside it.
- 3. Now you can safely click on any image without
- the GPF occuring.
-
- Note: Drag and drop is a feature that lets you click
- on an image and while holding down the left
- mouse button, drag it over and drop it on top
- of an icon (located down extreme right and left)
- in order to perform a function.
-
- If you have followed the instructions above
- then your Drag and Drag is disabled in order
- to prevent the GPF error, however, this feature
- is simply a bell and whistle. Clicking any
- of these icons initiates the same function with
- respect to the currently highlighted image.
