- Troubleshooting Common Problems
-
- The guide program for the CD doesn't run properly.
- The usual cause of this is a damaged or dirty disc. Visually inspect the disc for possible flaws
- or defects, and clean it properly. You should also test another CD-ROM in your drive. This
- often reveals setup problems that are not disc-specific. If these procedures fail, you can
- contact us to get a replacement disc (contact information is at the end of this file).
-
- The programs run slowly or don't run properly.
- Do you have at least the follow amounts of RAM (memory)?
-
- Windows 95: 8 megabytes
- Windows NT: 8 megabytes
-
- This may sound familiar, but Windows does not run well on anything less than these amounts. If you
- only have the minimum amount of RAM, the program may run slowly.
-
- If you only have a single-spin CD-ROM drive, the menu program and everything that's displayed in
- it will run slowly.
