- ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
-
- QUESTION: How do I install Redhook's Revenge to my hard drive?
-
- ANSWER: We have provided a simple installation program so that
- you can install Redhook's Revenge to your hard drive:
- 1. Insert the diskette into the floppy drive.
- 2. Type A:INSTALL (or B:INSTALL) then press [Enter].
- 3. Follow the instructions as they appear on your
- screen. You can install it to any directory that you
- want to, but for the purposes of this documentation,
- we assume that you will install it to C:\REDHOOK.
-
-
- QUESTION: I get the message "VGA monitor required." when I try to
- run Redhook's Revenge. I know I have a VGA monitor.
- What can I do?
-
- ANSWER: Some super VGA and monochrome VGA cards aren't detected
- by our video card checking routine. If you are
- confident that your monitor has a VGA mode, run
- Redhook's Revenge with this command: REDHOOK /M. We
- don't guarantee that this will fix your problem, but
- this command will bypass our video checking routine, and
- the above error will no longer appear.
-
-
- QUESTION: Can I run Redhook's Revenge from a floppy drive?
-
- ANSWER: Yes, by entering the command REDHOOK, but the game may
- run slower than it would on a hard drive.
-
-
- QUESTION: My mouse works in Microsoft Windows, why doesn't it work
- in Redhook's Revenge?
-
- ANSWER: Windows has special built-in drivers to support mice.
- Our software looks for a Microsoft compatible mouse
- driver which is loaded when you turn on your computer.
- A diskette should have come with your mouse which
- contains MOUSE.SYS, MOUSE.COM or similar files. Try
- placing the command DEVICE = MOUSE.SYS in your
- CONFIG.SYS file or the command MOUSE.COM in your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file. These are the files that DOS
- executes when you turn on your computer, and if your
- mouse is Microsoft compatible, your mouse should now
- work.

-
- QUESTION: I get the message "Not enough memory" and my program
- doesn't run. What can I do?
-
- ANSWER: You need a computer with at least 640K memory to run
- our software. Run the CHKDSK command to make sure that
- you have "655360 total bytes memory". The last line
- tells you how many bytes your computer has free. If
- your computer has less than 546000 bytes free, a
- program loaded in your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- is using part of your Conventional memory.
-
- DOS 6.0 and 6.2 comes with a utility called MEMMAKER
- which is designed to optimize your computer's memory
- resources. Enter the command MEMMAKER at the DOS prompt
- to run this program.
-
- If you don't have MEMMAKER, locate a knowledgeable
- person and ask him/her to help you get these programs
- out of conventional memory and load them "high".
-
-
- QUESTION: My sound card doesn't seem to work properly. I can't
- hear the pirates talking through my Soundblaster.
-
- ANSWER: The only pirate that actually has a voice is Blackbeard.
- In the shareware version he speaks only on the opening
- screens; in the registered version he talks everywhere.
-
- Most sound cards are Soundblaster compatible. If your
- sound card gives you problems, enter this command from
- DOS: REDHOOK /C. This will bypass the sound card
- initialization routine and turn off the sound.

- enjoyment from our program. If you have any further questions or
