ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ If you own any of our other discs OR discs produced by The Software Farm these menu programs will work with those as well. Place one of the discs in your CD-ROM drive and hit the F4 key or click on "Change Disc" under the DISCS menu option. Power menu system also includes a text search feature and built-in file compression that wasn't in earlier versions. Command line options: POWER - by itself allows all functions /? - Display this command line summary /43 - Set 43 line operation (EGA or better) /50 - Set 50 line operation (VGA or better) /G - Do not use graphic characters /M - Do not use graphic style mouse cursor /Q - Set quiet operation (no sound) If you're having problems with Power Menu one of the very first things to check is the configuration settings of your sound card. Our menu system uses the default soundcard setting (I/O address 220 or 240 and IRQ 7). If you've changed your card default configuration and you experience problems you can either change soundcard settings (explained in your manual) or use one of the command-line options to disable sound. Many of the newer advanced soundcards can be set to other than default and still work by using their built-in MIDI capability. WINPOWER - Power Menu for Windows by One World Software.
