1. MANUAL ADDENDUM
   ---------------
   
DRACULA CONFIGURATIONS
----------------------

   Dracula Unleashed can run in one of two configurations: VGA or Super VGA.  
   When you type DRACULA, Dracula Unleashed examines your system's video 
   and sound configuration and starts in the appropriate one for your 
   system.
   
   Dracula Unleashed uses the following criteria when determining which
   configuration to use:
   
   *  Dracula Unleashed runs in Super VGA, if your system contains a 
      Super VGA video card with 512K of video memory (or more) and the 
      video card has built-in VESA compatibility or a VESA driver has 
      been loaded.

   *  Dracula Unleashed runs in VGA, if your system contains a Super VGA 
      video card with less 512K of video memory, or a standard VGA video 
      card. Dracula Unleashed also runs in VGA mode, if a Super VGA 
      video card with 512K of video memory is not VESA compatible.

   Dracula Unleashed will attempt to use which ever configuration it finds 
   first unless the -VGA switch is used. The default Dracula Unleashed 
   uses in determining the configuration is: 
	1. Check for a VESA driver
	2. Check the video chip set for compatibility
	3. Check for VGA compatibility 
   
   If the -VESA switch is used, the checking sequence changes to:  
	1. Check the video chip set for compatibility
	2. Check for a VESA driver
	3. Check for VGA compatibility 
   
   

DRACULA SWITCHES
----------------

   Sometimes you may want to run Dracula Unleashed in a specific mode
   or configuration, even if it is not the one the program chooses. To 
   ensure Dracula Unleashed runs in a particular configuration, include 
   the necessary switch on the Dracula Unleashed command line when you 
   start Dracula Unleashed. For example, to start Dracula Unleashed in 
   VGA, type DRACULA -VGA. You can specify one the following switches.

	   Use this switch      To do this
	   ---------------      ----------
	   -VGA                 Runs Dracula Unleashed in VGA mode.

				This switch is useful if you are having 
				problems running Dracula Unleashed in
				Super VGA.

	   -VESA                Runs Dracula Unleashed in Super VGA mode.

				This switch changes the order in which 
				video compatibility is checked. This mode 
				runs Dracula Unleashed at its optimum 
				video resolution of 640x480 with 256 
				colors provided the video card is 
				compatible. Some video cards may require 
				a VESA driver.

	   -DEMO                Runs Dracula Unleashed in Demo mode.

				This switch allows plays the self running 
				demo of the Dracula Unleashed game. 
				Pressing the ESC key will exit the
				demo.
	   
	   -NoIRQCheck          Disables IRQ test on the sound card
				
	   -?                   Displays the available switches and their
				descriptions.
   
   The -NoIRQCheck switch is used to turn off IRQ testing before
   Dracula Unleashed starts. See "COULD NOT INITIALIZE SOUND CARD" in the 
   Q&A section for more information.


CARRIAGE EXIT
-------------

   The Carriage screen is where you select your travel destination. Once
   you select the name of the person you wish to visit and confirm your
   destination, you have the option to exit the carriage without listening 
   to the entire sound clip. To exit the carriage in this way: click the 
   Door icon and then click any place else on the screen, except for 
   another icon.


2. VIDEO CARD/CHIPSET COMPATIBILITY  
   --------------------------------

   Dracula Unleashed supports VGA and Super VGA with a minimum of 512K 
   of memory on the card. The ATI Mach32, ET4000, and Headland chipsets 
   are directly supported by Dracula Unleashed without a VESA TSR. 
   However, if you have difficulties with any video card, try the 
   Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD.
   
   Some video cards may produce what looks like static or lines in
   parts of the video scenes. Usually this is do to slow hardware, 
   such as, a slow video card or a slow CD-ROM drive. Random pixels 
   of red, blue, or green may appear when Dracula Unleashed is used 
   with old video cards.
    
   The following video cards/chipsets have been tested with Dracula 
   Unleashed and will work in their compatible modes.

	Make/Model                         Chipset         Mode
	---------------------              ------------    ----------
	ATI Graphics Ultra Pro             ATI             VGA / SVGA
	Diamond Speedstar Pro              Cirrus Logic    VGA / SVGA
	Orchid Pro-Designer II             ET4000          VGA / SVGA
	Orchid Pro-Designer IIs            ET4000          VGA / SVGA
	Orchid Fahrenheit 1280             S3              VGA / SVGA
	STB Systems Power Graph HiColor    ET4000          VGA / SVGA
	Video Seven VRAM II                Headland        VGA / SVGA
	Willow                             ET3000          VGA / SVGA
	Generic                            Trident         VGA / SVGA 
	Paradise VGA                       Paradise        VGA
   

ET3000 BOARDS
--------------
   
   Video cards that use the ET3000 chipset will require the use of a 
   compatible VESA driver. Without the VESA driver, Dracula Unleashed
   fills the screen with the upper left portion of its video. Try using
   the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD.


DIAMOND SPEEDSTAR PRO
---------------------

   The Diamond Speedstar Pro card will require the use of a compatible 
   VESA driver. Some VESA drivers may cause Dracula Unleashed to fill 
   the screen with the upper left portion of its video, cause the mouse 
   to leave trails on the screen, or cause the machine to lockup. Try 
   using the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD.


VIDEO 7 VRAM II
---------------
   
   The Video Seven VRAM II card may have some difficulty operating in
   Super VGA on some machines. Dip switch 8 must be ON and some machines 
   may require Dip switch 7 OFF for the Super VGA mode to work.


VESA COMPATIBILITY
------------------

   Some Super VGA video cards come with the VESA compatibility built into 
   the card's hardware. Although, old Super VGA cards may only be compatible 
   with an old revision of the VESA standard. In this case, a VESA driver 
   may need to be loaded before playing Dracula Unleashed. Try running 
   the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD or contact the video 
   card manufacturer for a VESA driver. You will find a list for some of 
   the manufacturers with BBS numbers at the end of this section.


VGA COMPATIBILITY
-----------------

   With some video cards, the display of the Dracula Unleashed video 
   may be darker than that of other video cards. This is not due to the 
   game, but due to the color palette on that video card itself. 

   
UNIVERSAL VESA TSR
------------------

   The Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) is a special VESA driver that will 
   determine the video chipset used on your video card. If it recognizes 
   the chipset, it will load a VESA driver specifically for that chipset, 
   allowing Dracula Unleashed to run properly in Super VGA. 
   
   If you have a VESA TSR for your video card, or your video card has a 
   VESA compatible BIOS already, you may want to use the Universal TSR
   instead. Many of the TSR's that exist today and many of the older
   Super VGA cards implement an older version of the VESA programming 
   standard (if any at all). Some of these older drivers may also contain
   bugs that will cause problems running Dracula Unleashed. The Universal 
   VESA TSR on this CD has been tested and works with Dracula Unleashed.
   
   The Universal VESA TSR contains 386 dependent code; and like Dracula 
   Unleashed, it will only run on machine that has a 80386 CPU or better. 
   Currently, the Universal VESA TSR supports the following Super VGA 
   chipsets:
   
	 - ATI Technologies 18800, 28800
	 - Ahead A & B
	 - Chips & Technologies 82c451/452/453
	 - Everex
	 - Genoa Systems GVGA
	 - OAK Technologies OTI-037C, OTI-067, OTI-077
	 - Paradise PVGA1A, WD90C00/10/11/30/31
	 - NCR 77C20/21/22E
	 - Trident 88/8900
	 - Video7 V7VGA versions 1-5
	 - Tseng Labs ET3000, ET4000
         - AcuMos AVGA2
	 - S3 86c911/924/801/805/928
	 - Advance Logic AL2101 SuperVGA
	 - MXIC 86010 SuperVGA
	 - Primus 2000 SuperVGA
	 - RealTek 3106 SuperVGA
	 - Cirrus CL-GD 5422 SuperVGA
     
   The Universal VESA TSR seems to have problems with QEMM, since QEMM 
   does something unusual with the Video BIOS. In order to fix this 
   problem, you should either create a boot disk using SETDRAC found 
   on this CD or use the QEMM "EXCLUDE" options to exclude the Video 
   BIOS area. Do this by including the following in the QEMM options.

	 EXCLUDE=C000-C1FF

   To run the Universal VESA TSR, type UNIVESA at the CD-ROM DOS prompt
   and hit Enter. It will return a message indicating the type of video
   card found and amount of memory on the video card.

3. SOUND CARD COMPATIBILITY
   ------------------------

   Dracula Unleashed has a volume control by using the CTRL-PgUp and
   CTRL-PgDown keys on your key board. Volume control is only usable
   for those sound cards that have software volume control support.
   If you card does not work with the Dracula Unleashed volume
   control, check with your sound card manufacturer for the proper
   way to change the volume.


ADLIB GOLD
----------

   The AdLib Gold card requires a "SET GOLD=" command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT 
   file to allow programs like Dracula Unleashed to identify the settings 
   on the card. If you have difficulty running Dracula Unleashed with the
   AdLib Gold, try running the AdLib setup program.


MICROSOFT SOUND SYSTEM
----------------------

   The Microsoft Sound System board requires an environment variable 
   that lets Dracula Unleashed know the card's settings. Insert the 
   following lines into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set the Port Address, 
   IRQ, and DMA.

			SET WSS_IRQ=xx
			SET WSS_DMA=xx
  
   Substitute "xxx" with a valid Port Address, IRQ, or DMA. Dracula 
   Unleashed supports the following settings as long as they do not 
   conflict with other cards in the machine.
					  
	       IRQ channels: (16-bit slot) 7,9,10, or 11
			     (8-bit slot) 7 or 9
	       DMA channels: 1 or 3


PRO AUDIO SPECTRUM
------------------

   The Pro Audio Spectrum (PAS) setup inserts a device driver, MVSOUND.SYS, 
   in your CONFIG.SYS file that sets the PAS and Sound Blaster compatibility.
   Dracula Unleashed requires this variable be set so that the PAS and 
   Sound Blaster portions of the card do not conflict. Dracula Unleashed 
   supports the following PAS and Sound Blaster settings.
  
      Pro Audio Spectrum                          Sound Blaster
   --------------------------------------   -----------------------------
   Port Address: 220,230, or 240            Port Address: 220,230, or 240
    DMA channel: 1 or 3                      DMA channel: 1 or 3
    IRQ channel: 2,3,5,7,10,11,12, or 15     IRQ channel: 2,3,5, or 7

   Dracula Unleashed will not support an IRQ if it is shared with another 
   card in the machine. PAS Plus cards may need the SB_ON command removed 
   from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for Dracula Unleashed to work properly. 
   Loading the MVSOUND.SYS driver high in memory may cause problems on 
   some machines.


SOUND BLASTER
-------------

   The Sound Blaster setup provides an environment variable, SET BLASTER,
   in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Dracula Unleashed requires that this variable 
   to be set so that it can identify the type of sound card to use. 
   
	      SET BLASTER=Axxx Ixx Dxx Txx
   
   Substitute each "xxx" with the appropriate Port Address, IRQ, or DMA.
   Dracula Unleashed supports all the Sound Blaster revision 1.0 settings 
   but only supports the following Sound Blaster Pro, 16, and 16asp settings.

	     Port Address:  220 or 240
	      DMA channel:  1 or 3
	      IRQ channel:  2,3,5,7, or 10

   Dracula Unleashed will not support an IRQ if it is shared with another 
   card in the machine. 


SOUND MASTER II
---------------

   Dracula Unleashed has no means to detect the COVOX Sound Master II sound
   board directly. We have provided three environment variables (SMIIPORT, 
   SMIIDMA, and SMIIIRQ) that you can set to tell Dracula Unleashed what 
   port, DMA and IRQ your board is set to.

   Insert the following lines into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set the boards 
   Port Address, IRQ,  and DMA:

			   SET SMIIPORT=xxx
			   SET SMIIDMA=xxx         
			   SET SMIIIRQ=xxx      

   Substitute "xxx" with a valid Port Address, IRQ, or DMA. The following 
   is a list of valid settings.

		 Port Address:  220, 240, 280, or 2C0
		  DMA channel:  1 or 3
		  IRQ channel:  2,3,5, or 7
  
   Dracula Unleashed will not support an IRQ if it is shared with another 
   card in the machine.

4. CD-ROM DRIVE COMPATIBILITY
   --------------------------

   Dracula Unleashed requires a CD-ROM drive that meets or exceeds 
   a continuous-read data transfer rate of 150K per second. Although,
   some drives may have difficulty when used with a slow machine and 
   video card. 
   
   CD-ROM drives may be slow because either the hardware itself is
   slow or because the device drivers require to much processing time
   to find and transfer data. Drives with an average seek time of 
   approximately 380-400 milliseconds (ms) tend to have both better
   hardware and device drivers. The following drives are known to have
   difficulty on slow machines.

   
	CHINON  :   CDA-431, CDS-435
	PHILIPS :   CM-205
	PIONEER :   DRM-600 (6-disc Jukebox drive)
	MAGNAVOX:   CDD-461
        MITSUMI :   CRMC-LU005
	NEC     :   CDR-25, CDR-36, CDR-37, CDR-38
	SONY    :   CDU-31a, CDU-535
  
   NOTE: Dracula Unleashed will not work with the Tandy 1000, 
	 the Mitsumi CRMC-LU002, or the BSR 6800MX CD-ROM drives 
	 on most machines. These drives have a very slow seek time
	 and use device drivers that require too much processing 
	 time.
	 
   Some CD-ROM drives may have difficulty reading a CD containing 600MB
   of data or more. This is because the laser head may not be capable of 
   reading the outermost part of the CD disc. Check with the CD-ROM 
   manufacturer for information regarding your drive's capability.


OPTIMIZING YOUR CD-ROM DRIVE
----------------------------
   
   So, you purchased a CD-ROM drive or a complete multimedia PC machine 
   and Dracula Unleashed does not work properly. Have you checked for 
   IRQ or DMA conflicts? Are you trying to run the game from Windows 
   when it is a DOS game? Have you checked to make sure the device 
   drivers are up-to-date? Any one of these could cause poor performance 
   in this game.
   
   One of the most common problems is that the CD-ROM drive may not 
   meet the game's requirements. Check the average access time and 
   data transfer rate to make certain it is compatible with the game. 
   The CD-ROM drive's ability to locate and transfer data accurately 
   and quickly may make a difference in many multimedia games. Here
   are a few more suggestions: 
   
   *  Check the CD-ROM manual for setting a buffer size in the 
      CD-ROM's device driver

   *  Close any TSR or menu programs before running the game 

   *  Create a system boot disk with only the device drivers needed 
      for the sound card, CD-ROM, and mouse

   *  Remove any expanded memory managers such as EMM386, QEMM, 
      or 386MAX

   *  Remove any disk cache software such as Smartdrive 

   *  Remove any CD cache software such as Lightning CD or CD Speedway, 
      if your machine is slow

   *  In your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, set the buffer setting used by the 
      MSCDEX.EXE driver to /M:10

5. MACHINE COMPATIBILITY
   ---------------------

386dx40
-------

   Some 386dx40 machines may have difficulty running Dracula Unleashed. 
   This type of machine uses a higher bus speed of 10MHz instead of the 
   standard MHz. What this means is that some hardware devices, such as 
   a sound card or CD-ROM interface, may not work properly when the IRQ 
   and DMA channels are used. This is a rare problem and the only solution 
   may be to try a different board from different manufacturer.



COMPAQ
------

   Dracula Unleashed may have troubles identifying video compatibility on
   the Compaq Prolinea series. This can be easily solved by using the 
   Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD or downloading the 
   appropriate VESA driver from Compaq's BBS.

DELL
----
   
   Dracula Unleashed may have difficulty on some of the Dell multimedia
   machines that use the Sound Blaster 16 card. In some cases, the MPU
   401 UART address in the SET BLASTER command is not set to the address 
   the card is actually set to on the board. This occurs when the setup 
   software for the Sound Blaster 16 card is used to auto scan the card 
   for the current settings.

   To solve this problem, you will have to refer to your Sound Blaster 16
   Getting Started manual. First, check the SET BLASTER command in the 
   AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the current MPU 401 UART address. This address
   is identified by the starting letter "P" and then the address. 
   
		SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

   Next, determine the address setting on the board inside the machine
   by comparing the jumper setting on the board to what is in the manual. 
   If they do not match, change the SET BLASTER command to the setting on 
   the board.

TANDY SENSATION
---------------

   Dracula Unleashed does NOT support the Tandy Sensation's built-in 
   sound hardware. If you want to use the Dracula Unleashed, you must 
   install a sound board that is both compatible with Dracula Unleashed 
   and does not conflict with the sound hardware on the Sensation. 
   Dracula Unleashed has been tested with the Microsoft Windows Sound 
   System at its default settings and runs without conflict.


6. SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY 
   ----------------------

MICROSOFT WINDOWS
-----------------   

   Dracula Unleashed is a DOS-based program. It is not designed to be run 
   under Microsoft Windows nor OS/2. Please exit Windows or any other 
   shell program to a DOS prompt before playing the game. If any attempts 
   are made to run the game under Windows or OS/2, unique problems may 
   occur. In addition, if Windows is running, major demands will be placed 
   on the machine's processing power which can cause it to lockup.
   
   OS/2 users should create a DOS boot disk if the machine is not set up
   for a dual boot of OS/2 and DOS. This will allow the machine to
   boot without OS/2 and the game to run properly. 


MICROSOFT DOUBLESPACE
---------------------   

   Microsoft DoubleSpace is a hard disk compression program that 
   basically doubles the available space on your hard drive. DoubleSpace
   has been known to cause frequent lockups while running Dracula 
   Unleashed. It is recommended that DoubleSpace be removed from memory
   before running Dracula Unleashed by creating a boot disk which does 
   not contain DoubleSpace.

   To begin creating a boot disk without DoubleSpace, run the SETDRAC
   program on this CD and select the option to create a boot disk. When
   the boot disk program is complete, you must copy all the device drivers 
   listed in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the boot disk. Then
   use the EDIT program from DOS and edit the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT  
   files on the boot disk. Change the current paths listed to just "A:\";
   an example follows:

	Orig.        DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS

	New          DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS

   If you need help copying the files or using the EDIT program, refer to
   you DOS user manual. 
   

MEMORY MANAGERS
---------------

   A memory manager has a few functions: loading files above 640K, 
   converting ROM addresses into high memory, emulating expanded memory, 
   and maximizing available conventional memory. But by doing all this,
   the machine may become unstable and lockup. Some of the memory managers
   used are QEMM by Quarterdeck, 386MAX by Qualitas, and EMM386 by 
   Microsoft.

   If you experience frequent lockups and are using any of the above memory
   managers, try running the SETDRAC program and create a boot disk. This
   will eliminate these programs and hopefully make your machine more 
   stable for running Dracula Unleashed.

   If you must use a memory manager, then try to use it in its more basic
   or most stable form. QEMM, for instance, has an option called Stealth
   mode which will make most machines very unstable. EMM386 uses MemMaker
   to mix and match the best loading order of device drivers and TSR's in
   upper memory. As a result, MemMaker causes some difficulties with sound 
   and CD-ROM drivers operating properly. The SETDRAC program will use
   EMM386 if it is found and remove any MemMaker commands automatically.


7. DRACULA UNLEASHED BOOT DISK
   ---------------------------
   A CD-ROM boot disk is a system disk that contains the least amount of
   system software to start a machine with a CD-ROM drive attached. If you 
   are having difficulty playing the game or cannot free the conventional 
   memory required to load the program; we strongly recommend that you 
   create a CD-ROM boot disk as described below.

   There are two ways to create a boot disk for Dracula Unleashed: manually
   or using the SETDRAC program. Creating a boot disk in either case will 
   require a blank floppy disk that must be used in your A: drive. 
   
   If you are not sure how to create a boot disk, then run SETDRAC at the 
   CD-ROM DOS prompt and follow the instructions on the screen. This
   program will prompt you for the necessary information. When the boot
   disk is complete, leave the disk in the A: drive and reboot your
   machine.
   
   If you are using DOS 6.0 with DoubleSpace - first run SETDRAC, next 
   copy the device drivers needed to the floppy disk, and then edit the 
   device path statements in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on 
   the boot disk. See the Microsoft DoubleSpace section above for more
   information.
   
   In order to create a system disk manually, you will need to format a 
   disk in your A: drive using the "/s" command. From a DOS Prompt type:

				FORMAT A:/S

   This will erase whatever data is on the disk in your A: drive and 
   automatically copy the essential system files to the boot disk.

   Next, you should copy the "CONFIG.SYS" and "AUTOEXEC.BAT" files on your
   hard drive to the A: drive. From a DOS Prompt you would type:

			 COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS A:\CONFIG.SYS
			 COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

   You will need to use a text editor or word processor to modify these
   two files on your A: disk. Use whatever text editing program you feel 
   most comfortable with, but be certain to save the files out as TEXT 
   files and not in the word processor's or text editor's proprietary 
   format. Try using the DOS 5.0 or 6.0 EDIT program; you will find 
   instructions in your DOS manual.
   
   The files should match the sample CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files 
   that are listed below as closely as possible. Depending on your
   hardware setup, the filenames will differ from what is listed, so do 
   not be alarmed if you can not find the specific line that's shown.

   The "path" to the files will vary, depending on your machine's
   particular setup; so do not modify the lines unless necessary. If you 
   move a file from your hard drive onto the boot disk, then you would 
   need to edit the path portion of the affected line(s) to reflect its 
   new location and/or name. Normally, this is not necessary if you leave 
   the path and filenames in their original state.
        
	Sample CONFIG.SYS
	
	FILES=30
	BUFFERS=30
	STACKS=9,256
	DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
	DOS=HIGH
	DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
	DEVICE=C:\CD\SBPCD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
	DEVICE=C:\MOUSE\MMOUSE.SYS

   Explanation of the above:

   The first line, FILES=30, sets up a DOS environment variable which sets
   the maximum number of open files.

   The second line, BUFFERS=30, sets up a DOS environment variable which
   sets aside a portion of memory for caching data off any DOS drive.

   The third line, STACKS=9,256, sets up a DOS environment variable which
   will put aside a portion of memory for a table which is used by some 
   DOS TSR's and device drivers. In no case should you use the command 
   STACKS=0,0.

   The fourth line, HIMEM.SYS, loads the "High Memory manager" which allows 
   DOS 5.0 and DOS 6.0 users to load DOS into the High Memory area, freeing 
   up more conventional memory for use by DOS programs.

   The fifth line, DOS=HIGH, tells DOS to load into the High Memory area.

   The sixth line, SETVER, loads "Set Version", a driver which tricks a 
   program into thinking that you are using an earlier version of DOS. If
   you're using MSCDEX 2.20 and DOS 5.0 or greater, you'll need to load 
   SETVER.

   The seventh line, SBPCD, loads Creative Lab's Sound Blaster CD-ROM 
   driver into memory. Replace this line with your CD-ROM driver if you 
   are using a different drive.

   The eighth line, MMOUSE, loads a Microsoft Mouse driver into memory. 
   If you are using a different mouse driver, then replace this line 
   with your mouse driver.

	Sample AUTOEXEC.BAT:

	@ECHO OFF
	SET BLASTER=A220 I10 D3 T6
	PROMPT $P$G
	PATH=C:\DOS;C:\
	C:\CD\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001

   The first line, ECHO OFF, stops DOS from echoing the contents of your
   AUTOEXEC.BAT to the screen.

   The second line, SET BLASTER, sets a DOS environment variable which 
   allows programs to know how your Sound Blaster card is configured. This 
   line is not needed if you are not using a Sound Blaster card or a 
   Sound Blaster compatible card. This line will vary depending on the 
   type of card you have installed and how it's configured. A220 I10 D3 T6 
   means the Sound Blaster is at Address 220, Interrupt (IRQ) 10, DMA 3, 
   and is "type" 6 (6th revision). If you ever change the settings on a 
   Sound Blaster compatible card, you will need to modify this line to 
   reflect the changes.

   The third line, PROMPT, sets up the command prompt's "formatting".
   
   The fourth line, PATH, sets up the directory areas that DOS will scan 
   when you type in a filename at the command prompt. This should be 
   left "as is" from your existing AUTOEXEC.BAT.

   The fifth line, MSCDEX, loads Microsoft's CD Extension into memory. 
   The "/D:MSCD001" will vary depending on your CD-ROM drive, do not 
   modify that portion. If you need to set up "buffering" for your CD-ROM 
   drive, add the command "/M:xx" where xx is the number of 2K pages you 
   wish to have set aside for a buffer. If you still have difficulty,
   we recommend starting with /M:10 and slowly increasing the number.
   By increasing the MSCDEX buffer you will also decrease the available
   conventional memory.

   If you are using a memory manager such as QEMM, 386MAX, or EMM386, see
   the Memory Manager section above for more information. Users of EMM386 
   should use only the NOEMS switch when running Dracula Unleashed.


8. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
   -------------------
   
   Q.  I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FREE MEMORY TO PLAY DRACULA UNLEASHED.

   A.  Dracula Unleashed requires approx. 450K of free conventional memory 
       and 2MB of extended memory to load the program. Free the amount 
       of memory needed by removing any unnecessary device drivers/TSR's 
       from memory or create a CD-ROM boot disk using the SETDRAC program
       found on the CD.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT DETECT A MOUSE..."

   A.  Make sure that the mouse is connected and that a DOS mouse driver 
       is loading in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS. Read your mouse's 
       users manual for directions on how to load a mouse driver for 
       DOS programs.
       

   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT FIND COMPATIBLE SOUND CARD."

   A.  Possibility 1. The sound card is set to an Interrupt that is already
       in use by another part of your machine's hardware. The most common
       conflict occurs on Interrupt 7, which is the default on Sound Blaster
       cards. IRQ7 is reserved by some machine's BIOS' for LPT1 (The 1st
       printer/parallel port). Check your sound card's user manual for the 
       method of changing IRQ's and set the sound card to use another 
       interrupt. 

       Possibility 2. If you are using a Sound Blaster or compatible sound
       card, the "SET BLASTER" line may be either missing from your 
       AUTOEXEC.BAT file or it does not reflect the actual hardware settings
       on the card. This line tells a DOS program what settings your sound 
       card is set to and is normally created when you install the card's 
       drivers onto your hard drive. Either re-install the drivers for your 
       sound card according to the directions in the manual or write a 
       SET BLASTER line yourself based on the card's settings. For a 
       description of the SET BLASTER line, see the sample AUTOEXEC.BAT in
       the Boot Disk section of this text.

       Possibility 4. If you are using PAS16/PAS Plus cards (Pro Audio
       Spectrum 16), the device driver loaded to enable the PAS portion of 
       the card may be using the same IRQ and DMA that the Sound Blaster 
       portion is currently using. Change the settings of the MVSOUND.SYS 
       driver to IRQ 7 and DMA 3 or any other available setting. IRQ 5 and 
       DMA 1 are already used by default for the Sound Blaster portion of 
       the card and, therefore, cannot be used.

       Possibility 5.  You are using an incompatible sound card or do not
       have a sound card installed. Dracula Unleashed requires a 100% 
       compatible Sound Blaster card or one listed on the outside of its
       box in order to play.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT INITIALIZE SOUND CARD."

   A.  Possibility 1. This may be an indication that you have a DMA or
       IRQ conflict with your sound card. Check the IRQ and DMA settings
       on the sound card, make sure they are not being used by any other
       hardware on your machine.

       Possibility 2. You may get this message on some occasions, if you
       do not have enough free conventional memory. Try removing some
       TSR's not used to play Dracula Unleashed to free up additional 
       memory.

       Possibility 3. You may have an older sound card that Dracula 
       Unleashed is having difficulty testing or thinks there is an 
       IRQ conflict. If you know the card is compatible and is set
       properly, try using the switch -NoIRQCheck. This will tell
       Dracula Unleashed to ignore testing the IRQ.

   
   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT FIND A COMPATIBLE VIDEO CARD."

   A.  This message may appear on a few old VGA video cards and with
       some of the new VL-Bus video built into the Compaq machines.
       Try loading the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) or a VESA 
       driver from the manufacturer of the machine or video card.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT FIND DATA FILES."

   A.  This may be an indication that you have a TSR conflict or you
       did not load Dracula Unleashed from the CD-ROM DOS prompt.       
       Exit any shell programs and try running Dracula Unleashed from
       the CD-ROM drive.


   Q.  MY SYSTEM IS LOCKING OR CRASHING AT, BEFORE, OR DURING THE TITLE
       SCREEN.

   A.  Possibility 1. This is a sign that the sound card is set to an 
       IRQ already in use by another part of your machine's hardware. 
       It is very important to set the IRQ on the sound card to one that
       is only used by the sound card.
       
       Possibility 2. Using DOS 6.0 with the DoubleSpace feature causes
       random locking on many machines. To eliminate DoubleSpace, first
       create a boot disk with the SETDRAC program found on the CD. Next,
       copy the necessary device drives to the boot disk. Finally, update 
       the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the boot disk to reflect 
       the new location of the device drivers.
       
       Possibility 3. Dracula Unleashed will not work with the buffered 
       DMA setting on the ATI Stereo FX card. Disable the "Buffer DMA Play" 
       setting using ATI's setup program.
       
       Possibility 4. Dracula Unleashed may be receiving device driver 
       interference due to the drivers using too much processor time, 
       attempting to screen incoming data for viruses, tracking system 
       activity, etc. Try creating a CD-ROM boot disk by running SETDRAC
       at the CD-ROM DOS prompt.

       Possibility 5. If you use a Pro Audio Spectrum Plus card, make 
       certain that the "SB_ON" file is not loading in your AUTOEXEC.BAT 
       file. This is not required for Dracula Unleashed to use your sound 
       card. This line may be removed or commented out, with a REM 
       statement, from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file; then restart your machine.

       Possibility 6. Using a Pro Audio Spectrum card's SCSI port
       with a Toshiba XM-3301 or XM-3401 may cause garbage on the screen
       during the video scenes. Try adding "/S30" to the TSLCDR.SYS 
       driver: 
			
		   DEVICE=C:\PAS\TSLCDR.SYS /D:MSCD001 /S30


   Q.  MY SCREEN DISPLAYS UNREADABLE TEXT, THE AUDIO REPEATS, AND THE SYSTEM 
       LOCKS UP.

   A.  This is an indication that there may be an IRQ conflict between  
       your sound card and some other board on your machine. Try changing
       the IRQ on the sound card.


   Q.  WHEN I MOVE THE MOUSE, MY MACHINE LOCKS UP.

   A.  If your mouse is using the same IRQ as your sound card or CD-ROM
       drive, the interrupt conflict will cause the machine to lock up 
       when the mouse is moved. Change the IRQ's so that each device 
       has its own unique interrupt. See the manual of your mouse, 
       sound card or CD-ROM drive for instructions on changing the IRQ's.


   Q.  THE PROGRAM'S SOUND AND MOTION HESITATE MOMENTARILY. WHY?

   A.  Possibility 1. There is device driver interference with data transfer 
       from CD-ROM. Try creating a CD-ROM boot disk with the SETDRAC program.

       Possibility 2. The CD-ROM drive or its device driver cannot keep up
       with the demands placed upon it by Dracula Unleashed. Check with the
       manufacturer of your CD-ROM drive or interface for a software or
       hardware update.

       Possibility 3. If you load an Expanded Memory Manager such 
       as EMM386, QEMM, or 386MAX, you may experience problems because 
       your machine is too slow when an memory manager is loaded. Expanded 
       memory managers tend to slow the machine by approximately 25-40%. 
       Try disabling or removing the memory manager from the CONFIG.SYS 
       file and reboot before playing Dracula Unleashed. EMM386 users 
       should try using the NOEMS switch.


   Q.  I DON'T GET SOUND WHEN THE VIDEO IS PLAYING.

   A.  If any device is sharing the DMA channel with the sound card, 
       you will not hear any audio. See your sound card's manual for 
       instructions on changing the DMA and make sure the speakers 
       are plugged into the correct port on your sound card.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "THERE HAS BEEN A READ ERROR ON THE CD"

   A.  Possibility 1. Dracula Unleashed requires a continuous-read 
       CD-ROM drive with a 150 KB/sec data transfer rate. Some CD-ROM 
       drives, such as the NEC 25, 35, 36, 36M, 37 drives, are known 
       as "packet-read" drives, which may corrupt the data coming 
       off the CD-ROM drive when used with Dracula Unleashed. 
    
       Possibility 2. The CD may be dirty or damaged and can cause read
       errors. Visually check the underside of the CD for smudges, 
       scratches, etc.. If it's not scratched, you should be able remove 
       the smudges with a clean cloth.


   Q.  THE PROGRAM QUITS AND DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE "3 POINTERS LEFT
       ALLOCATED."

   A.  There aren't enough FILES allocated in the CONFIG.SYS file. Add the 
       statement "FILES=20" to the CONFIG.SYS file or modify the existing 
       "FILES" statement.


   Q.  THE VIDEO SCENES NEVER PLAY.

   A.  There are not enough FILES or BUFFERS allocated in the CONFIG.SYS 
       file. Add the statement "FILES=20" and "BUFFERS=20" to the 
       CONFIG.SYS file or modify the existing "FILES" and "BUFFERS" 
       statement.


Q.  THE GAME WILL NOT LET ME SAVE MY GAME AND GIVES ME A MESSAGE, 
    "PERMISSION DENIED"

A.  If you get this message, you are probably trying to save the game
    to a write-protected disk or your CD-ROM drive. If it is a floppy
    disk you are saving to, check the write-protect tab on the disk;
    a 5 1/4" disk should have a notch cut out on the right hand side and
    a 3 1/2" disk should have a small square on the right hand side that
    has been closed so you cannot see through it. You cannot save to
    your Dracula Unleashed CD, you will have to select another drive.
     

Q.  I'VE DONE EVERYTHING SUGGESTED, AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK.

A.  Check the Appendix B and Appendix C in the back of the Dracula 
    Unleashed user manual for more information. If you are still having 
    difficulties, please contact technical support for any additional 
    information on possible Dracula Unleashed disc updates or problem 
    solutions through the methods listed below. Have the following 
    information ready when you call:

    * Name and model of the computer    * Brand and model of CD-ROM drive
