This file contains information on trouble-shooting and system requirements.
If you experience any problems with the software, please refer to this file
first.
I. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Electranoid requires the following minimum configuration to function properly:
Required:
* MS-DOS version 4.0 or higher
* 80386, or higher
* 2 Meg RAM, or more
* VGA
* MS Compatible Mouse
* An expanded memory driver (EMM386, etc.)
* Hard Drive
Optional:
* Sound Blaster or Compatible card
II. COMMAND LINE SWITCHES
There are two command line switches that may be utilized with Electranoid.
These are:
/E- This disables the enemies during game play
/S- This turns off monitor syncronization on game play
You should only use these switches if Electranoid does not appear to be
functioning smoothly during game play. Only those with slower model 386
systems should have any interest in these switches. It is advisable to
first try /E- switch. This will allow the game to function about twice as
fast. The /S- switch turns off all monitor syncronization. This will cause
the balls to become slightly "tuggy." However, on some laptop systems this
may be needed.
III. ERRORS AND PROBLEMS
Should you experience any problems with Electanoid, please contact us
immediately. You may refer to the ORDER.DOC file on information on contacting
Pixel Painters directly.
In case of any sudden unexplainable errors or lock-ups, it is advisable
to reboot your system immediately. This does not include program generated
"Critical Error" messages. The "Critical Error" messages are provided by
the program as a safeguard against lock-ups and problems. It is usually not
neccessary to reboot after one of these messages.
IV. COMMON CRITICAL ERROR MESSAGES
The most common critical error messages that you may encounter deal with
the Mouse, EMM driver, and Base RAM.
MOUSE - You need to make sure that you have preloaded your MOUSE.COM
driver program.
EMM - This software requires the use of an EMM driver. You may
refer to your DOS manual on information on installing your
EMM driver properly. This program requires at least 1 Meg
of available EMM memory.
B.RAM - Electranoid requires 480K of available base RAM. If you
do not have enough base RAM to run the program, a critical
error message will prompt you to this effect. You may refer
to your DOS manual on how to load TSR's into upper memory.
This is one way to free up more base RAM.
V. WINDOWS AND DISK-CACHE SOFTWARE
In short, do not run this program from Windows or any other multi-tasking
environment. While this program will work properly with most disk cache
software, on certain BIOS's, when combined with disk caching, the program
may experience lock-ups.
