- ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
-
-
- QUESTION: I get the message "VGA Monitor required." when I try to
- run Redhook's Revenge. What I do?
-
- ANSWER: Your IBM compatible PC doesn't have a VGA monitor. If
- you want to run Redhook's Revenge, you will have to go
- to a computer store to see it run. Maybe you'll decide
- that it's time to get a new computer!
-
-
- QUESTION: Can I run Redhook's Revenge from a floppy drive?
-
- ANSWER: Yes, by entering the command REDHOOK, but the game will
- run slower than it would on a hard drive.
-
-
- QUESTION: How do I install Redhook's Revenge to my hard drive?
-
- ANSWER: We have provided a simple installation program so that
- you can install Redhook's Revenge to your hard drive:
- 1. Insert the diskette into the floppy drive.
- 2. Type A:INSTALL (or B:INSTALL) then press [Enter].
- 3. Follow the instructions as they appear on your
- screen. You can install it to any directory that you
- want to, but for the purposes of this documentation,
- we assume that you will install it to C:\REDHOOK.

-
- QUESTION: My mouse works in Microsoft Windows, why doesn't it work
- in Redhook's Revenge?
-
- ANSWER: Windows has special built-in drivers to support mice.
- Our software looks for a Microsoft compatible mouse
- driver which is loaded when you turn on your computer.
- A diskette should have come with your mouse which
- contains MOUSE.SYS, MOUSE.COM or similar files. Try
- placing the command DEVICE = MOUSE.SYS in your
- CONFIG.SYS file or the command MOUSE.COM in your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file. These are the files that DOS
- executes when you turn on your computer, and if your
- mouse is Microsoft compatible, your mouse should now
- work.

-
- QUESTION: Can Redhook's Revenge be run under Microsoft Windows?
-
- ANSWER: Yes, although it is not a Windows product. Here's how:
- 1. In the Program Manager press the ALT-F for the "Files
- Menu".
- 2. Press N for "New".
- 3. Select "Program Item".
- 4. Under "Description" enter Redhook.
- 5. Under "Command Line" enter \REDHOOK\REDHOOK.PIF.
- 6. Press the "Change Icon" button and when it prompts for
- the file name enter \REDHOOK\REDHOOK.ICO then press OK.

-
- QUESTION: I get the message "Not enough memory" and my program
- doesn't run. What can I do?
-
- ANSWER: You need a computer with at least 640K memory to run
- our software. Run the CHKDSK command to make sure that
- you have "655360 total bytes memory". The last line
- tells you how many bytes your computer has free. If
- your computer has less than 560000 bytes free, a
- program loaded in your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- is taking up memory. Locate a knowledgeable person and
- ask him/her to help you get these programs out of your
- memory. If you have a 286 or 386 computer and 1
- megabyte of memory or more, you can free additional
- memory by upgrading to DOS 5.0.

-
- QUESTION: I don't understand what "shareware" is. Why do I have
- to order Redhook's Revenge if I already have a copy of
- it?
-
- ANSWER: Because you haven't paid for it. If you "bought"
- Redhook's Revenge from a shareware vendor, you only paid
- for the disk, not the actual program. At the opening
- screen of Redhook's Revenge, press the F2 key. A
- detailed explanation about the shareware concept will
- appear for you there.
-
- To reward those who actually register Redhook's Revenge
- we have included extra "bonus" features which are not in
- the shareware version. See the order form for details.
-
-
-
- Thank you for playing Redhook's Revenge! We hope you get hours of
- enjoyment from our program. If you have any further questions or
- problems, please contact us:
