- TITLE : Running TUNE to configure Paradox 3.5 for protected
- mode operation
-
-
-
-
- Paradox 3.5 has been designed to run in 286 protected mode.
- However, on many machines, you will need to run Tune, in order
- for Paradox to be able put the processor chip into protected mode
- correctly.
-
- Tune is run as part of the Custom Configuration Program (CCP)
- script. If you are going to run the CCP in order to execute the
- "Tune" program, you should first start Paradox in real mode.
- This is done from the DOS prompt, in c:\pdox35 by typing:
-
- C:\PDOX35>paradox -real custom
-
- This will start Paradox in real mode and play the CCP script,
- unless there is already a paradox.cfg file which is changing your
- working directory. In that case you will get a message "Can't
- find Custom Script" and you will have to change directories so
- that Paradox can find the CCP. Select: Tools/More/Directory to
- change to the \pdox35 directory. Then type Scripts/Play/Custom.
-
- You are now in the Custom Configuration Program. Select the
- following menu choices: Tune/ProtectedMode/Configure.
-
- Tune will likely ask you to hit the space bar at several points
- while it tests your machine. Your machine may hang or reboot
- while Tune is running. This is normal. Just restart the CCP
- again and rerun Tune. Tune creates markers throughout, to mark
- its progress, so that it will be able to return to the point
- where it last left off, until it completes its operation.
-
- Once Paradox/Tune is complete it will return you to the
- "Configure DefaultMode Return" menu. Select Return, then select
- Do_it! Select hard disk, or Network (type in your private
- directory if you select network). This will exit you out of
- Custom: you will not be able to make any other changes at this
- time, however Paradox will now be able to put your computer into
- protected mode whenever you run it. You can now run the CCP
- again at any time, to make any other customization changes that
- you wish.
-
- If Paradox still does not work properly in protected mode, the
- most likely explanation is that you have a software conflict of
- some kind. Set up a "clean machine", a so called "plain vanilla
- system": rename C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT (ie to AUTOEXEC.OLD), and rename

- CONFIG.SYS (ie to CONFIG.OLD). Create a temporary CONFIG.SYS
- file with the following two statements:
- FILES = 20
- BUFFERS = 20
- You can also create an autoexec.bat file with a path and prompt
- statement (such as the one in your original autoexec.bat file).
-
- Then reboot your computer. Go through the process of running
- Tune again. If Paradox works now, you will need to experiment
- with your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to determine where the
- conflict is and how to fix it.
-
- For information on other sections of the CCP, check chapter 14 of
- the User's Guide.
