- A. Known Issues
- ==============
-
- 1. 32-bit addressing must be enabled
- ---------------------------------
- In order for Cancer to function properly, 32-bit addressing
- must be enabled on your Macintosh. See the Optimizing section
- below for instructions on how to accomplish this.
-
- 2. Cancer runs slowly in high color mode
- ------------------------------------
- If you find that Cancer is running slowly on your Macintosh,
- try setting your monitor color settings to 256 colors. This may
- help increase performance. See the Optimizing section below
- for additional tips.
-
- 3. System appears frozen when a text hyperlink is clicked
- ----------------------------------------------------
- Please note that when a hyperlink (red text) is clicked on,
- a complex search is started and your system may appear frozen
- momentarily. Please do not reset the system, but rather simply
- give the computer a little time to work and display the search
- results on screen. Note that some of the more complex links can
- take up to twenty seconds to display, and during this time there
- is no indication on screen that the system is "thinking"
-
- 4. Conflict between Help function and QuickTime
- -------------------------------------------
- If the Help function is accessed while a QuickTime movie is
- onscreen (regardless of whether it is playing or not), a color
- distortion may result. To fix this, enter another project
- (for example, the Main Menu), and return to your original position.
- The color distortion will disappear.
-
- 5. Steadmans may not display properly when accessed
- ------------------------------------------------
- Under certain conditions, if the Steadmans Medical dictionary
- is accessed multiple times by closing it completely and
- reopening it in the same session, an error may occur in your
- application. If this occurs, simply refrain from closing
- Steadmans Medical Dictionary, simply leave it running in the
- background after using it, and it therefore will be accessible
- whenever you need it without having to reopen it each time.
-
-
- B. Optimizing your system for Cancer
- =================================
-
- The performance of Cancer is influenced by a number of
- factors including the speed of your Macintosh, the speed of
- your CD-ROM drive and the way your system is configured. Two
- factors that can influence performance are Virtual Memory and
- 32-bit addressing. Check that your Macintosh has Virtual
- Memory disabled and 32-bit addressing enabled.
-
- To disable Virtual Memory and enable 32-bit addressing:
- 1. Click Control Panels from the Apple menu.
- 2. Click the Memory icon.
- 3. Click the Off button in the Virtual Memory section.
- 4. Click the On button in the 32-bit Disc Addressing
- section.
-
- NOTE: Currently the memory requirements for this application are
- set for the minimum hardware configuration. If your system has
- more than 16MB Ram memory available, you may adjust the preferred
- memory size on the application icon to increase the applications
- performance. For further information on setting preferred memory
- size, consult your Macintosh system documentation.
-
-
- C. Trouble Shooting
- =================
-
- 1. Clipboard objects cleared when Stedmans is launched or
- Quicktime movie is played
- -----------------------------------------------------
- Please note that when the Stedmans Medical Dictionary is
- launched, or a Quicktime movie is played, the clipboard
- contents may be cleared. If you have items stored on the
- clipboard for use in other applications, please be sure to save
- them before starting the Stedmans Medical Dictionary or playing
- a Quicktime movie.
-
- 2. System freezes if external volume is adjusted
- --------------------------------------------
- If your system has an external volume control, you should not
- attempt to adjust the volume while this Medical application is
- loading or accessing the CD-ROM drive. If you attempt to do this,
- the application or system may stop responding and you will be
- forced to restart.
-
- 3. Error at startup while using RAM Doubler
- ---------------------------------------
- Under certain circumstances, if you are using RAM Doubler to
- increase your system memory, you may experience an error at
- startup of this Medical title. If this situation occurs, please
- disable RAM Doubler before using Breastfeeding. For further
- information on how to temporarily disable RAM Doubler, please
- consult your RAM Doubler documentation.
-
- 4. Cannot run Cancer and Steadmans Dictionary at the same time
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- On some systems that are close to the minimum requirements,
- you may have trouble accessing Steadmans and/or the help files
- at the same time you are running the application. This problem
- occurs due to a lack of available memory on your system. If you
- encounter this problem, try turning off some of your extensions
- (see your apple documentation), or turn on virtual memory. Note
- that activating virtual memory may cause some performance
- degredation while using this Medical Series application.
