-
- Q: I have Albatros installed, but when i try to start it, it says MDM.***
- not found or the program does not start and instead shows a settings
- page.
-
- A: Please install MMPM/2 for OS/2.
-
-
- Q: I have MMPM/2 installed, but Albatros shows "NO DISC" even when there
- is an AUDIO CD in the drive.
-
- A: There are two possible solutions:
- 1) You installed MMPM/2 but forgot to install CD ROM support, just
- reinstall CD ROM support in MMPM/2.
-
- 2) You installed CD ROM support in MMPM/2 but the path is incorrect.
- Check in the MMPM/2 setup to find out if the CD ROM refers to the
- correct drive letter.
-
-
- Q: Albatros starts fine, but there is no sound coming through the speaker,
- even when I turn the Albatros volume knob all the way up.
-
- A: This problem is usually related to your sound card. When the CD ROM
- wiring is connected to the CD ROM input of your sound card, the input
- of your sound card is sometimes set to "0".
-
- You will have to use a PMMIXER program for your sound card to enable
- the CD ROM Sound input to anything higher than "0".
-
- On an IBM or compatible computer it might help to start the Wave Editor
- applet to restore your CD Sound ( sounds strange, but it works ! )
-
-
- Q: Albatros shows a totally black display ( I had Version 1.2 and
- everything was fine until I upgraded to 1.6x ).
-
- A: The color selector has changed. Please go to notebook, page three and
- select COLOR-DEFAULT. This will restore your colors.
-
-
- Q: What is the Font Developers Kit good for ?
-
- A: To create you own LCD Style Fonts ( It requires the OS/2 Programming
- Toolkit )
-
-
- Q: I had quite a few titles entered in CD EXPLORER, do I have to type them
- again?
-
- A: No, use the STEALTXT.CMD file for extracting titles from the CD Explorer
- INI file.
-
-
- Q: When I try to select a new color from the color palette and drop it on
- the color preview page, the color of the background is changed, but not
- the foreground.
-
- A: Please use CTRL-Right mouse button to change the foreground color.
-
-
- Q: I am using WARP II Beta and there is no CD ROM Support ?
-
- A:
- *) Open a session (Dos or Os/2)
- *) change directory to /mmos2
- *) edit the mmpm2.ini file...
-
- *) add the CDaudio line to the drivers section, e.g.
-
- [Drivers]
- Digitalvideo=IBMDIGVIDPLAYER01
- Waveaudio=IBMWAVESB01
- Sequencer=IBMSEQSB01
- Ampmix=IBMAMPMIXSB01
- Speaker=SPEAKER
- Headphone=HEADPHONE
- Microphone=MICROPHONE

-
- *) Save the file
- *) Shutdown OS/2
- *) Reboot
-
-
- Q: I have troubles with the displayed fonts (cd player looks bad, half of
- the display not visible).
-
- A : This problem is related to your graphic device driver (e.g. new ATI
- mach 32 version 85).
-
- To fix this copy the following lines into a file called "FIXDEV.CMD"
- and run it.
-
- /* */
- call RxFuncAdd "SysIni", "RexxUtil", "SysIni"
- AppName = "PM_SystemFonts"
- KeyName = "DefaultFont"
- FontName = "10.System Proportional Non-ISO"
- call SysIni "USER", AppName, KeyName, FontName||"0"x
- exit
