     PROGRAM LOCKS UP 
                      
    
      

If you are using a Sound Blaster 16 or compatible sound card and your
computer locks up after only a few minutes of game play, you may have
incorrect settings in the SETUP program.

If your computer does lock up,  we suggest that you try the following
steps  BEFORE you  call  Broderbund's Technical Support.  If you call
Technical Support,  you will be asked  to try these steps before they
can further help you.


   1) Begin at the C:> prompt.  If you are running Windows, then EXIT
      from Windows.  Do not just  go into a DOS shell  by clicking on
      the DOS icon,  but exit  Windows  completely by  selecting EXIT
      WINDOWS from the FILE menu in PROGRAM MANAGER.


   2) Obtain the settings for your Sound Blaster 16 card by doing
      the following:

       Type 'SET' and press <ENTER>

       Look for a line that looks like this:
        BLASTER=A220 I5 D1

       The A??? is the Port Address. In the example
        above, the Address is 220 Hex.

       The I? is the IRQ, or Interrupt, Number.  In
        the example above, the IRQ is 5.

       The D? is the  DMA Channel.  In the  example
        above, the DMA Channel is 1.

       All  other  parameters  on  that line can be
        ignored.

        You will need to write  down the numbers for
        Port, IRQ and DMA.

        If you don't have a BLASTER line, we suggest
        that you  recheck the  installation  of your
        sound   card,   or  call   your  sound  card
        manufacturer's Technical Support  department
        for appropriate assistance.



   3) Rerun the SETUP program for Carmen.

       Change  to  the  Carmen directory  by typing:
        CD\WORLDD and press <ENTER>.

       Type SETUP and press <ENTER>.



   4) Use the arrow keys to select SOUND DEVICE and press <ENTER>

       Use the  arrows  to select  SOUND BLASTER 16
        and press <ENTER>.

       At the CURRENT AUDIO PARAMETER screen, check
        to see  if  your  settings  are  the same as
        those you wrote down in step 2.

       If the settings are correct, press enter and
        go to step 5.

       If the  settings  do not  match,  press M to
        modify your settings.

       At  the  SELECT  I/O  PORT  ADDRESS  screen,
        select  the  Port Address you  wrote down in
        step 2 and press <ENTER>.

       At  the  SELECT IRQ screen,  select  the IRQ
        Number you  wrote  down in  step 2 and press
        <ENTER>.

       At the SELECT DMA CHANNEL screen, select the
        DMA Channel  you wrote  down in  step 2  and
        press <ENTER>.



   5) Use the arrow keys  to select  MUSIC SYNTHESIZER and  press
      <ENTER>.

       Use the  arrows to  select  SOUND BLASTER 16
        and press <ENTER>.



   6) Use the  arrows to  select  SAVE THE CONFIGURATION AND EXIT
      and press <ENTER>.

       Type Y to exit to DOS.


   7) Type CARMEN to run the game.

     PROGRAM DOES NOT MUTE 
                           
    
      

Currently our SOUND BLASTER 16 driver does  not properly MUTE all
sounds.  For example,  when  pressing  the  MUTE  button  on  the
Videophone, the folk music will  shut off,  but other  sounds may
not.  If you would like to  disable all program sounds,  you have
three options:

   1) Lower the volume on your speakers to where no
      sounds can be heard.

   2) Run the Carmen SETUP program  and select  NO DEVICE
      for the SOUND and SYNTHESIZER options.


   3) Or, consult your  sound  card manual for the
      availability of software volume control.
