- Configuring Traffic Department 2192
- =============================================================================
-
- The first time you run Traffic Department 2192, a self-explanatory
- configuration menu will come up asking for the type of controller and
- sound card you want to use. The information you give in this configuration
- is stored and used every time you run T.D.
-
- To reconfigure Traffic Department 2192, type "TD1 /config" at the "C:" prompt.
-
- If you would like to temporarily change your configuration, type in
- the command you want to use after typing "TD1".
-
- For example, typing "TD1 /?" gives you a list the available commands.
-
- /? : displays this list.
-
- /sb : plays music and sound effects through your Sound Blaster.
-
- /nosound : turns off all music and sound effects.
-
- /pc : plays sound effects through your PC speaker.
-
- /a : gives you AdLib music with PC speaker sound effects.
-
- /config : brings up the configuration menu.

- Common problems and solutions
- =============================================================================
-
-
- RUNNING WITH WINDOWS AND OS/2
- =============================
-
- This game should work properly under Windows and OS/2 if you turn all
- sound card support OFF when configuring the game. However, if you want
- to hear music or sound through your Sound Blaster, or compatible music
- card, you must run T.D. 2192 through DOS.
-
- More Windows and OS/2 tips:
-
- 1. Even though T.D. 2192 will work under Windows with sound card support
- turned OFF, the graphics will run more smoothly under plain DOS.
-
- 2. If you try to run T.D. 2192 through Windows or OS/2 with sound card
- support ON, you'll get unpredictable results - T.D. 2192 will not
- run properly.
-
- 3. If you encounter any problems running through Windows or OS/2, exit and
- run T.D. 2192 through plain DOS instead! This will likely solve any
- problems you are encountering.
-
- 4. Running T.D. 2192 through the "MS-DOS Shell" in Windows (or the
- OS/2 DOS box) is NOT the same as running it straight from DOS. For
- best results, you need to completely exit from Windows or OS/2 and run
- T.D. 2192 from the DOS prompt.
-
-
- NOT ENOUGH FREE MEMORY
- ======================
-
- Problem: When I run T.D. 2192, the game refuses to start and gives
- me the message "You need (amount) of free memory to run this program".
-
- Solution: You need to free up more main (conventional) memory before
- starting T.D. 2192. Here are some solutions:
-
- 1. If you are trying to run T.D. 2192 from Windows, completely exit
- Windows and try running it from DOS.
-
- 2. If you are trying to run T.D. 2192 from "DOSSHELL" or any other
- menu program, please exit from the menu program. Then, run T.D. 2192
- from the DOS prompt. Menu programs often occupy enough memory that
- there won't be enough left for T.D. 2192.
-
- If neither #1 or #2 solves the problem, do the following:
-
- 1. From the DOS prompt, type "MEM" and press Enter.
-
- 2. You'll see a lot of information about your computer's memory. Look at
- the number after the words "Largest Executable Program Size". This is
- the amount of memory you currently have available.
-
- Now you need to free up more main memory. Here are some tips:
-
-
- 1. You may need to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files
- in your root directory. This can be done in any version of DOS.
-
- Rewrite your CONFIG.SYS file to contain the lines:
-
- HIMEM.SYS
- EMM386.EXE NOEMS HIGHSCAN
- DOS=HIGH,UMB
-
- 2. We also recommend that you clean out all other TSR's and memory
- managers from CONFIG.SYS by either removing the line, or by typing
- "REM" before the command.
-
- 3. Once your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files have been changed, you must
- restart your computer for the changes to take effect. Do this by
- pressing the CTRL-ALT-DEL keys simultaneously.
-
- 4. A handy program for MS-DOS 6.0+ users is MEMMAKER. This file will
- help you optimize your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to allow
- you optimal memory conservation.
-
- 5. Please read the manual that came with DOS for more information about
- configuring memory.
-
- OTHER PROBLEMS
- ==============
-
- Problem:
- When I run T.D. 2192, I don't hear sound.
-
- Solution:
- Traffic Department will only play music if you have a Sound Blaster or
- 100% compatible sound card. If you have a Sound Blaster or 100% compatible
- sound card, and you still can't hear music, try one of the following.
-
- 1. Make sure Traffic Department 2192 is configured to play sound by typing
- "TD1 /config" at the "C:" prompt.
-
- 2. Check your sound card and speaker connections.
-
- 3. Make sure your sound card has no address conflicts with other cards in
- your system! If your sound card works properly with other games, you can
- assume that there are no conflicts. However, if your sound card does not
- work with other games, you have a conflict. See your sound card manual
- for details on resolving these conflicts.
