-
- Remember this is a Beta version of Valhalla. You are bound to get errors
- when running this and we would appreciate some feedback if you encounter
- any errors.
-
- TROUBLESHOOTING
- ───────────────
-
- Most errors that occur in Valhalla appear such as this:
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ Valhalla has detected an error in file xxx.c, line xxx: │
- │ _openx: Unable to locate file MENUS\VMAIN2.PCX (Tried exist and │
- │ pak_check) │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- If you receive an error like this and you can't find help in this document
- about it, then send us some email with exactly what it says in the box
- including the filename and line #.
-
-
- Problem: "_openx: Unable to locate file XXX (Tried pak_check)"
- Cause: Either we made a mistake and forgot a file or you've been playing
- around with the game (shame, shame)
- Solution: Re-install Valhalla. Unpack it from the archive again and try again.
- If you still get the error, contact us so we can fix it
-
-
- Problem: "_mallocx: Couldn't allocate xxxx bytes"
- Cause: There is not enough system RAM currently available to run Valhalla.
- Solution: If you're in Windows 95 or in anything other than a plain DOS
- prompt, exit and try it at plain DOS prompt. If that still doesn't
- work, then you've encountered a bug and you should contact us with
- some information about your system so we can fix it.
-
-
- Problem: "During IRQ xx, and error occured:"
- Cause: You've found a bug in Valhalla.
- Solution: There is no solution. Try running VALDEBUG and sending us the log
- so we can see what happened and what we can do to fix it
-
-
- Problem: I have a sound card, but I get no sound or music.
- Cause: Either the I/O port, the IRQ or the DMA channel is misconfigured
- Solution: Trying running setup and have it Autodetect your card
-
-
- Problem: Setup locks up my machine when autodetecting my sound card.
- Cause: When probing to determine which I/O port we conflicted with
- another device at that I/O port.
- Solution: You need to enter in your Sound Card information by hand. We're
- working on getting the Autodetection routines to be a little more
- user friendly.
-
-
- Problem: Program hangs or crashes.
- Cause: We have no record of this, its a new bug.
- Solution: See if you can replicate it, then contact technical support to
- report a bug.
-
-
- Problem: My problem is not covered in this document
- Solution: Reboot your machine with a "clean" boot. If you are using
- DOS version 6.0 or higher, hold down the left SHIFT key to
- bypass AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. If you are using a DOS
- version lower than 6.0, make a boot disk with no AUTOEXEC.BAT and
- no CONFIG.SYS. If this does not fix your problem, you need to
- re-install Valhalla or get a new copy.
