- SPACE QUEST IV CD
- HOW TO USE THIS PATCH
-
-
- First, we'd like to apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced
- with your Space Quest IV CD. The new sound file that accompanies
- this "READ.ME" file will prevent a lock up problem when the "zombie"
- screams if you have a Turtle Beach Multisound card or another sound card
- that doesn't support variable sound sample rates through Windows.
-
- The following instructions will provide a step by step procedure to update
- your current version of Space Quest IV CD. If you are uncertain or need
- assistance with using this patch, please contact our Technical Support
- Department. Information on how to reach Technical Support will be provided
- at the end of this file.

-
- HOW TO USE THIS PATCH
-
- 1. If you have not already done so, you must install the Space Quest IV CD
- game files to your hard drive. To do this through Windows, select RUN from
- the FILE menu. Type E:SETUP where E is the letter of your CD-ROM drive.
- Choose "Install game to hard drive (faster)". NOTE: Hard drive installation
- requires 6 megabytes of free hard drive space (12 megabytes if you are using
- a hard drive compression program like Stacker or SuperStor).
-
- 2. Use the DOS "copy" command to copy the sound file to the same directory
- that your Space Quest IV CD-ROM game files are located. In most cases, the
- game files are in directory c:\SIERRA\SQ4, although this will change if
- you chose a different hard drive or directory when you were installing Space
- Quest IV CD. Here's an example of the copy command:
-
- COPY B:*.* C:\SIERRA\SQ4
-
- This example copy command will copy all the files from the current
- directory on drive b: to the Space Quest IV CD-ROM game directory on drive
- c:. This example assumes that the patch disk is in drive b: and that the
- game files are in the \SIERRA\SQ4 directory on drive c:.
-
- 3. Once the sound file is in your game directory, then you're ready to go!
-
