Taking Care of Business V1.0
(C) 1994 Moonlite Software
------------------------------
Taking Care of Business (TCB) is a game of pure fun and logic. Guide our
hero, Demolisher Dirk, through mind stomping puzzles in search of his long
awaited vacation.
---------------------
System Requirements
---------------------
- IBM PC compatible with 480K free memory
- VESA compatible Super VGA graphics card with 1 megabyte of RAM
- Sound Blaster supported but not required
-------------------------------
What To Do If Things Go Wrong
-------------------------------
If the game returns an error message, locks up, or just plain appears
strange there are several causes and remedies described below.
Problem:
- Returns ERROR 1 - VESA driver not found
- Returns ERROR 2 - VESA mode 0x101 not supported
- Returns ERROR 3 - Hardware mode 0x101 not supported
- Game locks up, strange video output, etc.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
- No Super VGA card. This game requires a Super VGA card.
- Less than 1 megabyte on the Super VGA card. This game requires a
Super VGA card with at least 1 megabyte of video RAM.
- Your monitor cannot display the required resolution. A Super VGA
monitor is required.
- No VESA driver installed or VESA driver installed does not support
all the functions that this game requires. The Solution is to run
UNIVBE.EXE (see section "Using UNIVBE" below.)
Problem:
- Game locks up.
- No SoundBlaster sounds or PC speaker sounds when SoundBlaster
compatible card is present.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
- Interrupt number for SoundBlaster compatible card is not set correctly.
The interrupt defaults to 7. To run the game with a different interrupt
number type:
TCB # (where # is the interrupt you want)
For example, TCB 5 (ENTER) will start the game with the SoundBlaster
interrupt set to 5.
- This game has been tested with the Gravis UltraSound. Run SBOS.EXE
before running TCB.
