Q:When I save a game in Gateway to the Savage Frontier and later try
to call it up, the computer asks me to "Insert Disk 3 in drive C:".
What's going on here?
A:If you save your game after creating characters but before you begin
adventuring, you will get this message.  All you need to do is begin
adventuring after creating a set of characters, read the messages
setting up the adventure, and save at the earliest possible opportunity.
You do this by encamping and choosing the save option.  You are now
free to quit or adventure to your heart's content.  Good Luck!

Q:I'm Playing Gateway to the Savage Frontier or Treasures of the Savage
Frontier and my mouse Disappears!  Where'd it go?
A:Nowhere.  It's still there, it's just invisible.  If you click around
enough, you'll see you still have it.  The next time you call up the
game, it'll be back.  You don't even have to reboot your computer.
It seems to happen if you stop using the mouse for a while, especially
if you last moved it off the screen  and left it there.  There does
not seem to be a way around this other than occasionally moving the
mouse and making sure you don't let it rest off the edges of the screen
for more than a couple of minutes.

Q:I'm playing Secret of the Silver Blades or Champions of Krynn.  The
copy-protection asks for a word in a journal entry on a specific page,
but the journal entry is on a different page!  What's up?
A:No sweat, just use the journal entry number and don't worry about
the page number. 

Q:I'm playing Secret of the Silver Blades or Death Knights of Krynn.
I type in the copy-protection word the game asks for, but it doesn't
accept it.  What's wrong with this thing?!
A:Be sure to count the words in the title of the journal entry.  For
instance, if Secret of the Silver Blades asks for word five of journal
entry three, you type "black" because you include the words "Sir Dedrick's
Story" in your word count.

Q:My characters have loads of experience, but the game won't let me
train them up to the next level!  Help!
A:One of two things is happening here.  First, a long-standing rule
of the Dungeons and Dragons games is that characters of non-human
races can only advance to limited levels in any class other than thief.
The level limits are listed in the adventure journals.  Also, each
game has a level for any character past which they may not train.
For instance, in Gateway to the Savage Frontier, no Magic-User may
advance past fifth level.  The game designers did not anticipate the
high amounts of experience the most diligent players would amass.
Also, another long-standing rule of Dungeons and Dragons is that
no character may advance in level past the level of the person training
them, and this is the rule rationalization for the limit.  Your experience
will be saved, however, and when you advance to the next game in whichever
series you are playing you will be allowed to advance in level when
you go to train.

Q:I begin playing and my computer freezes up if I try to move.  Now
what?
A:There are several solutions to this problem.  
1.The first thing to do is check and make sure that you are not in
Windows.  These games (especially Pool of Radiance) do not like to
be combined with Windows.  They are older programs and do not have
the complicated memory-management abilities that modern Windows and
DOS programs have, so they try to use memory that Windows needs to
run.  You may get them to run for a while, but once you get to a particularly
large battle or complex graphic, your computer WILL freeze up.
2.You may also have some sort of DOS shell active; you need to shut
this off as well, for the same reason that you cannot combine these
programs with Windows.  (One way to check if you have Windows or a
DOS shell active is to type EXIT at the C:\> prompt.  If your computer
suddenly goes into Windows or some other program (such as Navigator),
you have not exited that program.  Check your manual for that program
to determine how to quit.)
3.The next thing to check is if you are playing the game or games
off the CD-ROM.  Some computers do not seem to like this.  Try playing
the game or games off your hard drive instead.  (The Play option in
the INSTALL program on the CD-ROM does not access the installed game.)
4.If it is already installed, the next thing to try is reinstalling
the game onto your hard drive.  You should either delete the game
from your hard drive using DOS commands or use the Uninstall function
in the INSTALL program on the CD-ROM before reinstalling the game.
5.The last thing to try is making a boot disk to maximize your available
memory.  Please consult your DOS manual for instructions on doing
this.  The process is relatively simple but you need the exact commands
and file names for your computer.

Q:I installed the games to my hard drive, but now I can't find them.
Where did they go?
A:This depends on which type of disk the games were on when you bought
them.  The CD-ROMs and the diskettes install the games to different
locations. All nine games install to a master directory called WIZWORX.
Each individual game installs to its own sub-directory.
The DOS command for changing directories is CD.  To play Pool of
Radiance installed on drive C: from the nine-game collector's edition,
for example, you would start with a C:\> prompt, then type the following:
CD\WIZWORX\POOLRAD, press [Enter]
START, press [Enter].  (The command to begin all AD&D games is START.)

The following table shows which commands to type for each game.
--------------------------------------------------------
Pool of Radiance
CD\WIZWORX\POOLRAD [Enter] START [Enter]

Curse of the Azure Bonds
CD\WIZWORX\CURSE [Enter] START [Enter]

Champions of Krynn
CD\WIZWORX\COK [Enter] START [Enter] 

Death Knights of Krynn
CD\WIZWORX\DKK [Enter] START [Enter] 

Dark Queen of Krynn
CD\WIZWORX\DQK [Enter] START [Enter] 

Gateway to the Savage Frontier
CD\WIZWORX\GATEWAY [Enter] START [Enter] 

Treasures of the Savage Frontier
CD\WIZWORX\TREASURE [Enter] START [Enter] 

Pools of Darkness
CD\WIZWORX\POOLS [Enter] START [Enter]
