4. Virtual Memory settings and other System Information
Open the Memory control panel and make sure you have Virtual Memory set to at least 96MB. If you need to make any changes to the Virtual Memory setting, you will need to restart your machine before they take effect. Virtual Memory does not need to be on if your machine has 96MB RAM or more.
On some computers, the game may seem to pause for a moment (usually 1-3 seconds) in which the computer becomes unresponsive. This is normally caused by the MacOS Finder running in the background. To alleviate this problem, enter windowed mode (Command + F) if necessary, and select the Quit the Finder item under the Options menu. A check will appear next to the item when it is selected.
If the Heroes III Complete game is running slow, be sure to close any programs open in the background. You may also use the Quit the Finder option as described above. As a last resort, you can open the Extensions Manager and disable extensions that are not in use. Consult the Mac OS Help. (Command + ?) for instructions.
