- IF YOUR GAME WON'T RUN....
-
-
- The first thing to try is to use Hardball 4's virtual memory option.
- From the Hardball 4 demo directory, type VM <ENTER>. Then try the
- demo again. This will resolve most memory problems with the game.
- If this doesn't help, try the following...
-
- Most problems are caused by your system's memory configuration. Try a
- different start up for your computer called Booting Clean. Booting this
- way often corrects freezing, most error messages, and erratic game play.
- This procedure is temporary and does not change your computer.
-
- You boot clean differently with DOS 5.0 and DOS 6.xx.
-
- BOOTING CLEAN WITH DOS 5.0
- First create a Clean Boot diskette. Please note the following steps can
- only be done in drive A. Here's how you make this disk:
-
- 1 Insert the diskette in drive A:.
-
- 2 At the C:> prompt, type cd\DOS and press <Enter>.
-
- 3 Type FORMAT A:/S <Enter>.
-
- 4 When the format is done change to the A: drive. Type A: <Enter>.
-
- 5 At the A:> prompt, type COPY CON CONFIG.SYS <Enter>.
-
- 6 The cursor moves down a line. Type DOS=HIGH,UMB <Enter>.
-
- 7 Type DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS <Enter>.
-
- 8 Press the control <Ctrl> and Z keys at the same time. Then press
- <Enter>. A message appears that says "One File Copied."
-
- 9 Now type COPY CON AUTOEXEC.BAT <Enter>.
-
- 10 Type PROMPT $P$G <Enter>.
-
- 11 Press the control <Ctrl> and Z keys at the same time. Then press
- <Enter>.
-
- 12 You have created the Clean Boot diskette. Keep the disk in drive A:
- and restart your computer.
-
- 13 At the A: prompt type C: <Enter>. Now, change to the directory
- you installed the demo to and play HARDBALL 4!
-
-
- BOOTING CLEAN WITH DOS 6.xx
- Boot Clean directly from the keyboard. Here's how:
-
- 1 Restart your computer.
-
- 2 When you see the message "STARTING MS-DOS" press your F8 key.
-
- 3 MS-DOS asks you to confirm each config.sys command. You give yes or
- no responses to each command line.
-
- 4 Say yes to only the following lines:
- DOS=HIGH, UMB
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
-
- 5 At the C:> prompt change to the directory you installed the demo
- to and play HARDBALL 4!
-
- Note: If you have a third party memory manager like 386MAX or QEMM you
- should say yes to the equivelent command lines. However you may have
- problems using these managers.
