- Last minute notes:
-
-
- MSCDEX low memory conditions
- -----------------------------
-
- We recommend using around 20 buffers when installed MSCDEX, we also recommend
- placing these buffers in high memory. A typical MSCDEX line would look like
- this:
-
- MSCDEX /d:DRIVER /m:20 /e /v
-
- MSCDEX allocates memory dynamically, as does The Seventh Guest. If The
- Seventh Guest should freeze, it may be due to MSCDEX allocating memory. The
- minimum amount of free memory should be 570k.
-
-
- Windows 3.1 sound drivers
- --------------------------
-
- If you have been running Windows, and using a Windows sound driver, it is
- recommended that you reboot your machine before playing The Seventh Guest,
- these drivers sometimes leave the soundcard in an unstable state.
-
-
- General MIDI devices
- ---------------------
-
- Please reset your General Midi device before starting The Seventh Guest.
-
-
- Pro Audio Spectrum 16 devices
- ------------------------------
-
- Before playing The Seventh Guest, please adjust your mixer settings using the
- PAS program, the best way of doing this is to type "PAS *".
-
-
- No sound during introduction
- -----------------------------
-
- Sound is playing throughout the introduction, but it is playing from the
- CD drive itself. Make sure that your CD-ROM drive is hooked up for sound
- as well as your sound card(s).
-
-
- Using IBM OS/2 or Microsoft Windows NT
- ---------------------------------------
-
- Under OS/2 2.1 it is possible to play The Seventh Guest, although it is
- recommended that you use MS-DOS. If you are experiencing problems running
- under OS/2, try booting DOS before calling Virgin Games Customer Service.
-
- Windows NT is not compatible at this time with The Seventh Guest.
-
-
- Aborted Games are saved
- ------------------------
-
- If your game should for some reason abort (playing from a Windows shell for
- instance), the game will save a file called "save.z". Rename this file to
- save.0 through save.9 (just one) and you will be able to load back your
- current game. This may not always work, so save often anyway.
-
-
- Open House!
- ------------
-
- Once you have completed The Seventh Guest, it will save a special game in
- your save game zero (0) slot. This saved game will be called "OPEN HOUSE"
- it allows you to roam the house freely and play all the puzzles as many times
- as you want.
