- Trouble-shooting:
- --------------------------------------------
-
- HELP: Cooking for Today: Chicken has an extensive on-line help
- section. You can access it at any time by clicking on the HELP icon.
-
- Problem: Errors displaying files, reading the CD drive, and
- printing (among assorted others).
-
- Solution 1: Do not run any other applications simultaneously
- with Cooking for Today: Chicken. This includes any TSR's or Startup
- applications. (e.g. Microsoft Office or Bookshelf, Packard Bell
- Navigator) You can check your Windows Task List in Windows 3.1
- by holding the Crtl-Esc keys down. Program manager should be
- the only task listed. If there are others, highlight them and
- select "End Task" for each of them. In Windows 95, there should
- be no other programs listed in the task bar at the bottom of the
- screen.
-
- Solution 2: Increase the size of Virtual Memory Swap File.
- Please refer to your Windows manual for instructions on this
- procedure. (We recommend a swap file of at lease 7 megabytes.)
-
- General Protection Faults, Application freezes...
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Aside from the above listed procedures, try switching your video
- card settings to 640x480 and 256 colors. If the problems still
- continue, contact the manufacturer of your video card and
- confirm that you have the most recent version of their Video
- Driver. (Video drivers are often updated several times a year
- and are usually available free of charge.)
-
- Rarely, under certain system configurations, General Protection
- Faults can occur when printing a large number of projects
- successively (usually over 25 projects at a time). If this
- occurs, you must quit the program and restart your computer.
-
- If Picture and Video Quality is Poor...
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- Make sure you are using the correct video driver for your video
- card and not the Windows VGA driver. (Go to the Windows Setup in
- your Main group. If it says "VGA" next to Display, then you are
- using the wrong driver.) Do not try switching drivers unless
- you know what you are doing! It is safest to contact the
- manufacturer of your computer or video card to correct this
- problem.
-
-
- General Note:
- --------------
-
- The recipes you create in Personal Collection, Notes, and the
- contents of Meal Planner are saved in the "userdb" files in the
- DATA folder on your hard drive. It is a good idea to keep backup
- copies of these files.
