Troubleshooting |
|
|
Basic Troubleshooting
- Make sure the customer's machine meets or
exceeds the program's minimum system requirements.
- Ensure that the Color Depth and Resolution are
configured to match the display settings stated in the Minimum
System Requirements. Do NOT set the resolution to 640x480 on a
Windows 98 machine. 800x600 is acceptable for most of our
programs, though it may not produce a full screen for the program.
- Close TSRs. Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open Task
Manager and close all applications except Explorer and Systray in
ALL Windows platforms except Windows 98 or Windows 98SE, and
Macintosh OS. In Windows 98 or Windows 98SE use MSCONFIG in the
Run line and deselect all the items in the startup folder (Do NOT
use MSCONFIG on a Compaq computer). In Mac OS configure the system
to use minimum extensions.
- After closing TSRs, uninstall and reinstall,
this ensures a CLEAN INSTALL of the software.
- Check the model, manufacturer, and properties
of the CD-ROM drive. Configure the CD-ROM drive to Sync Data
Transfer and set the Read Ahead Optimization to No Read-ahead.
Also, ensure that the File System line under the Performance tab
in System Properties says 32bit, and does not say Some drives are
using MS-DOS compatibility mode
