This Read Me file includes critical information to help you get the most of Prime Target.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Prime Target works with any PowerMacintosh with at least 8MB of built-in RAM.
Prime Target should run well on any Power Macintosh. The usual cause of slow performance is low memory. There are many things you can do to free up memory and make Prime Target run faster. We suggest you try the first items on the list (which usually solve the problem) before trying the items lower on the list.
Highly Recommended
• Make sure you have quit all other applications before launching Prime Target.
• Turn Virtual Memory OFF.
(NOTE: Do not turn Virtual Memory off if you are using a Macintosh with 8MB of built-in RAM and your System Software takes up 3.5MB of RAM or more. You can determine how much memory you have available by choosing About This Macintosh from the Apple menu.)
1. Select Control Panels from the Apple menu. Then, from the pop-up menu, select Memory.
2. Click the OFF button under the Virtual Memory option.
3. Close the Memory window by clicking once in its close box.
4. Re-start your Macintosh by choosing Restart from the Special menu.
• Turn RAM Doubler OFF.
- Please refer to your RAM Doubler manual for instructions.
If Necessary
• Turn off un-necessary extensions.
1. Select Extensions Manager from the Apple menu.
2. Select “All Off” from the Sets pop-up menu.
3. Turn on the following extensions by clicking once on each one. After you click on an extension, a check-mark will be displayed next to it to denote that it is now turned on:
• Apple CD-ROM
• Quicktime
• Quicktime Power Plug
• Sound Manager (if available)
4. Click once on the Extensions Manager close box.
• If this fails: Again open the Extensions Manager (see above), then turn off all extensions except Apple CD-ROM and Sound Manager.
Within Prime Target
• Shrink the size of your graphics window:
1. Launch Prime Target
2. From the Prime Target main menu screen, choose Preferences.
3. Choose Graphics from the Preferences pop-up menu.
4. Choose 75% from the Window Size pop-up menu.
5. Click O.K.
• Turn off the extra sounds:
1. Launch Prime Target
2. From the Prime Target main menu screen, choose Preferences.
3. Choose Sound & Music from the Preferences pop-up menu.
4. De-select the following options by clicking in their check-box:
• Ambient Sounds
• Extra Sounds
• Stereo
If None of This Works
• Try increasing the minimum memory requirements of Prime Target
1. Double-click on the Prime Target Folder
2. Click once on Prime Target
3. From the File menu, select Get Info
4. Set the minimum to 6000
If you have only 8 MBs of real RAM, you will probably have to enable either Virtual Memory or RamDoubler. Restart your machine and try to launch Prime Target.
