Operating Difficulties and Loading Problems
Q. Why can’t I install the game to my hard disk?
1. You must check all system requirements, especially any mention of hard disk
space required, listed in this Technical Supplement.
2. If you still have a problem, you should make copies of the original disks and use
the duplicates in place of the originals; sometimes you’ll get a read error due to a
difference in head alignment.
3. If the game still doesn’t work, make sure you are not running a compression
utility program on your hard disk.
4. Finally, try installing the game on another machine to see if the problem recurs.
Q. How do I copy disks?
From the C:\> prompt, use the DOS command DISKCOPY A: A: [Return]. Follow
the on-screen prompts.
Q. Why won’t my game load?
You must have 611,000 bytes (596K) of Conventional Memory and 10K UMB
(Upper Memory Block).
To check that you have allocated an upper memory block, look for the line
DOS=UMB (MS-DOS 6) or DOS=HIGH,UMB (MS-DOS 5) in your PC's
CONFIG.SYS file.
Slow Running
If you are not running from a boot disk, please ensure that you have
SMARTDRV.SYS or SMARTDRV.EXE loaded into your CONFIG.SYS or
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
