- Frequently Asked Questions and
- Questions that will be Asked
- ----------------------------------
-
- NOTICE! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS WITH CP, PLEASE
- CHECK OUT THE HUGE DOCUMENTATION CP.DOC BEFORE (!!!) SENDING US
- AN EMAIL!!!
- IF YOUR PROBLEM IS DEALT WITH IN THE DOC, WE WILL NOT REPLY
- TO YOUR MAIL!!!
-
- ?-> this archive of CP lacks the background pictures and anims cp used
- to come along with...?
- !-> that is to make the archive smaller. if you want background pics and
- anims, get hold of an older full version of cp (e.g. 1.4) and just copy
- this one over it.
-
- ?-> when I run cp, I get a message saying that a file named "dos4gw.exe"
- is missing. What can I do?
- !-> get a hold on it. It comes with earlier versions of cp (e.g. 1.4) and
- many computer games. You probably already have it, just search your
- harddisk.
-
- ?-> cp crashes... it worked in 0.96, but from 1.0 on cp keeps crashing when
- loading the first or second module...
- !-> yes, it's a bug...
- it is probably due to the vesa-overlay option of your mouse
- driver... disable it if possible.
- also try loding your mouse driver as mouse.com in your autoexec.bat, and
- not as mouse.sys in your config.sys
-
- ?-> cp sounds awful when i turn on echos or intepolation!
- !-> buy a better computer... no! but this is too much for your cpu... :(
- (at least the way i do it.. :). this often happens when DMA 0-3 is
- selected. if you can change the dma to 5-7, then do so, this really
- helps much! you can also turn down the output rate (-crXXXXX),
- the 32 channel output rate (-cqXXXXX), the stereo output or the 16bit
- output.
-
- ?-> cp runs out of memory although mem tells me I have enough!
- ("sound card initialisation failure" can sometimes be the same)
- !-> dos4gw doesn't use xms when ems is also available, change your memory
- configuration to either pure ems or pure xms or auto.
-
- ?-> how do I run cp under windows (c) 3.1?
- !-> use the cp.pif file, included in the archive. for further info on this,
- please check the documentation cp.doc. if it should not work then either,
- well... we can't help it. :(
-
- ?-> how do I play a CD-AUDIO track?
- !-> in the fileselector, select the driver letter of the cd drive which holds
- CD. then, select the desired track. for further info, please check out
- cp.doc. while playing press ctrl-return to stop playing and release lock.
-
- ?-> some modes are not displayed at all on my board!?
- !-> if you do not have an et4000-compatible board, you MUST load a vesa
- driver to enjoy all extended modes.
-
- ?-> some modes look weired or do not display correctly on my vga-board.
- !-> that is due to the improper implementation of vesa-standards. It is
- not our fault! (yeah!!)
-
- ?-> My GUS is mute!?
- !-> Start CP with -cg,t as a command line parameter, or change the
- irqs of the gus to below 8
-
- ?-> How do I play old MODs?
- !-> In the Fileselector, enter "M15" as Filetype in the Module-description
- Window (on the bottom)
