- TuneLand Common Problems and Solutions
-
-
- Problem:
- When I run TuneLand I only get some of the sounds.
-
- Solution:
- TuneLand uses both CD Audio and .WAV files for the highest sound
- quality possible. In order to hear CD Audio on your system, it is
- required that you have a CD Audio connector between your CD-ROM drive
- and your sound card, and you must have the [MCI] CD Audio driver
- installed in the Windows Control Panel. The SETUP.EXE, supplied on the
- TuneLand CD, automatically adds (if applicable) the [MCI] CD Audio
- driver for you. If you do not run SETUP.EXE, you can add the driver
- manually, by doing the following.
-
- 1. Open the Windows Control Panel and select Drivers.
- 2. Click the Add button.
- 3. Select the driver labeled [MCI] CD Audio and click OK.
- 4. Insert the requested Windows diskette and select OK.
- 5. Restart TuneLand and test the sounds.
- If you still are having difficulty, make sure that you have the
- required CD Audio connector between the sound board and the CD-ROM drive.
-
-
- Problem:
- Some of the TuneLand sounds are louder than others.
-
- Solution:
- Because TuneLand uses both CD Audio and .WAV files, it may be necessary
- for you to adjust the CD Audio and .WAV volume for proper balance.
- To adjust the volumes run the mixing software that was provided with your
- sound card (i.e. for the Sound BlasterPro card, the file is called
- SBPMIXER.EXE) and adjust the volume settings to your personal preference.
-
-
- Problem:
- When I try to run TuneLand I get the message "TuneLand requires 256
- colors or more to run".
-
- Solution:
- Verify that your video card is capable of running at least 256 colors
- by checking the documentation for the video card or contacting the
- manufacturer. Also, check to be sure that you have the correct video
- driver specified in your Windows setup.
-
-
- Problem:
- The sound and animation does not seem to be synchronized properly.
-
- Solution:
- Make sure that you are running TuneLand on a 386, 25 MHz or better
- IBM compatible computer with at least 4MB of RAM. Also, make sure that
- you do not have any other programs running under Windows while you are
- running the TuneLand program.
-
-
- Problem:
- My animation or sound sometimes skips.
-
- Solution:
- Make sure that you have at least 4MB of RAM and that you do not have
- any other programs running under Windows while you are running TuneLand.
- Also, make sure that an expanded memory manager (such as EMM386, QEMM,
- or 386MAX)is not reserving memory that Windows and TuneLand will need
- to run correctly.
-
-
- Stay Tuned!
-
- We are confident that you'll enjoy spending many hours with your child in
- TuneLand, as we have with our children. (Yes, they all love Lil' Howie.)
-
