================================================== DOOM COMPANION CD-ROM ================================================== Copyright (c) 1994, Limelight Media, Inc. All Rights Reserved. --------------- TROUBLESHOOTING --------------- MEMORY PROBLEMS --------------- Because the games on this CD-ROM have three-dimensional graphics, they also take up a fair amount of memory. If you should get an Out of Memory error, or a warning that there is not enough memory available to start the game, there are several things you can do: 1. Create a boot disk. To create a boot disk, format a blank floppy diskette with the /s option. If your floppy is in drive a:, try format a: /s Then copy your autoexec.bat and config.sys files to the floppy. If your boot drive is c:, it might look like this: copy c:\autoexec.bat a:\autoexec.bat copy c:\config.sys a:\config.sys Once the files have been copied, edit the versions that are on the floppy, and remove all unnecessary commands, drivers, etc. Make sure to leave your CD-ROM drivers if you are going to try using the Companion disc at the same time. 2. If you have DOS 6.0 or better, you might try using memmaker. Memmaker is a great utility, but if you decide to use it, then you should definately, Definately, DEFINATELY back-up your autoexec.bat and config.sys somewhere safe. 3. Instead of using a boot disc, you could make a dual-boot startup. DOS 6.0 is required to do this, but it is a fantastic way to handle multiple startup configurations. Consult your DOS manual for more information. -------------------------- UNINSTALLING THE INTERFACE -------------------------- The interface is never actually installed, since it runs directly from the CD-ROM. However, if you install DOOM to your hard drive, then a small configuration file is created in the root directory of your boot drive (usually C:). This file is named WBCONFIG.TXT, and is initially hidden to prevent accidental deletion. If you wish to remove the file, you can easily do so with the following DOS commands: attrib -h c:\dconfig.txt del c:\dconfig.txt (please note that if your boot drive is a different letter than "c:", that you must use it in place of the drive in the example commands above.) ------------------ ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS ------------------ THE COMPANION SERIES -------------------- The Wolfenstein 3-D / Blake Stone Companion CD-ROM *** This great disc features two of the best shareware games available for the PC, along with these added bonus programs: Dozens of unique new levels, level maps, character and level editors, hints, cheat codes, utilities, and information files... all accessible through an easy-to-use interface!
