Q:
|
What should I do if the program runs slowly or I get
an out-of-memory error?
|
|
A:
|
Check that your PC meets minimum system requirements as
listed on the CD package as Savage uses your computer's
memory (RAM) to play videos, animations and sound. If
Savage runs slowly or you see out-of-memory errors,
Savage may not have enough memory. Suggestions for
speeding the application up:
|
|
close all TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident)
applications, such as an antiviral
program
|
|
|
set up a permanent Windows swap file of 10
to 20 meg
|
|
|
optimize your hard disk by running a disk
defragmentation program
|
|
|
add more RAM (memory) to your computer
|
|
|
add a cache on the Smartdrive line in your
autoexec.bat file (a cache of 2048Kb is
recomended)
|
|
|
set your video to a lower resolution and/or
color setting

Q:
|
I seem to be having display problems. What can I
do?
|
|
A:
|
Try changing the display settings to SVGA 640 x
480 with 256 colors. If that does not clear
up the problem, obtain updated drivers from your video
card manufacturer.
To change the video driver to SVGA 640 x 480 x 256:
In Win 3.11:
|
|
go to Main\ Windows\ Setup
|
|
|
click on Options\ Change System
Settings
|
|
|
hit the scroll button on the display box
and scroll to SVGA 640 x 480 x 256
|
In Win 95:
|
|
select Start\ Settings\ Control Panel
|
|
|
select Display\ Settings tab
|
|
|
set the display area to 640 x
480, the color palette to
256, and the video adapter to
SVGA

Q:
|
What can I do if the display problems
persist?
|
|
A:
|
In some situations, Savage may encounter video display
problems when using high resolution video drivers from
various video card manufacturers. The problems may
include a garbled screen, a garbled video or the
software may crash. If you encounter problems like
these and changing the display settings does not
help:
|
|
obtain updated drivers from your video card
manufacturer
|
|
|
If you are using an ATI Mach 64, please
read the README.WRI file on the CD.

Q:
|
Why won't the sound play?
|
|
A:
|
Confirm that the speakers are on and the volume is turn
up. (In Win 95, double-click on the speaker icon on the
taskbar) If the volume is turned up and you still hear
no sounds, something may be wrong with your audio card
installation.
If you have both an audio card and special software
that bypasses the audio card to play sounds through
the PC speaker, remove or disable the special
software (the PC speaker driver). Savage is not
meant to run with just the PC internal speaker or
any combination of that speaker and special
software.

Q:
|
Why is the sound distorted or "fuzzy," and how to I
fix it?
|
|
A:
|
Try using the Mixer supplied with the audio software
for the PC to set your Wave and MIDI volumes to a
slightly lower setting. If you have the option, try a
lower gain setting as well.

|
How do I solve the error: "NO WAVE DEVICE THAT CAN
PLAY FILES ..."?
|
|

|
|

Q:
|
How do I increase the volume level?
|
|

The cursor jumps around on the screen when I perform
certain actions. How do I stop this?
