- 3) TROUBLE SHOOTING
-
- NOT ENOUGH MEMORY!
- If you are really low on memory Try:
- hurl4meg<enter>
- While you may have the 4Mb needed to run the game is it actually free?
- Some programs like SMARTDRV.EXE can take 2Mb or more. Remove it from
- you config.sys and reboot.
-
- MS DOS 6.0 contains MEMMAKER which can help you configure your system
- better.
-
- HEY, IT CRASHED!
- Boot with a minimum configuration to free up as much memory as possible.
- Your config file should look something like this:
- FILES=20
- BUFFERS=20
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
- DOS=HIGH
-
- THE SOUND DOESN'T WORK!
- If you have a SoundBlaster compatible card select the SoundBlaster
- clone driver and try again. Otherwise you can run H.U.R.L without
- sound by starting it as follows:
- hurl -s<enter>
