README file for "Kama Sutra"
Version 1.0
Copyright 1994 Vivid Interactive, Inc.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// //
// Welcome to Kama Sutra //
// //
// "Kama Sutra" uses Apple's QuickTime for Windows to bring high //
// quality graphics and sound to your PC. The setup program copies all //
// the files needed to run "Kama Sutra" to your PC. //
// //
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
================
INSTALLATION
================
To install "Kama Sutra", use File Manager to run the install.exe program in
the root directory on the CD-ROM. The setup program will copy the QuickTime
for Windows files to your hard drive (approx 2mb of files).
=======================
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
=======================
To use "Kama Sutra", you should have a 386 or better CPU with 8-bit (256 colors),
16-bit (64,000 colors), or 24-bit (millions) graphics, a sound card,
Microsoft Windows 3.1 and DOS 5.0 or 6.x, and a mouse.
Some high-resolution video cards require updated driver software for
operation of QuickTime for Windows. If you experience color display problems,
Please contact your video board manufacturer to see if newer driver software
is available.
Make sure you are using the most recent versions of HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.EXE,
and SMARTDRV.EXE. The copies that came with DOS 6.x are the most recent, and
Windows 3.1 files are better than DOS 5.0 files. Your config.sys should
have something like the following:
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM NOEMS
Your autoexec.bat should have something like:
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE 1024 1024 (if you have 8 MB or more memory)
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE 1024 512 (if you have less memory)
===================
MEMORY PROBLEMS
===================
QuickTime for Windows and Windows 3.1 is very memory hungry. The best way to
speed-up video quality and display is to have at least 8 MB RAM. if you have
less, make sure you do not have EMM386 allocating any expanded memory. Also,
you should have SMARTDRV using as little memory as possible (512K cache). The
biggest performance improvement other than upgrading to a 486 is to have more
memory.
You can also use the 386 enhanced Virtual Memory settings to create a permanent
swap file. This seems to improve performance slightly, but more RAM is better.
==================
VIDEO PROBLEMS
==================
Some high-resolution video cards require updated driver software for
operation of QuickTime for Windows. If you experience color display problems,
Please contact your video board manufacturer to see if newer driver software
is available.
If the video display is slow, you may not have enough memory. You can also try
adjusting the colors to 64K colors rather than truecolor (16.7 million). This
results in faster video display and doesn't affect picture quality.
==========================
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
==========================
As with any product, you may need to tweak your system to get optimal performance.
The most important considerations are improper configuration of EMM386 giving
too much Expanded memory (Windows doesn't need any, but DOS apps do), and simply
not enough memory. If you are running Windows with 4 MB RAM, you will see a REAL
performance boost by upgrading.
