Windows 95 Troubleshooting

I am running the game under Windows 95 but it
seems very slow/or have sound/memory problems:
----------------------------------------------

Depending on your Spec, Worms runs slightly
slower under Win'95. You will also have problems
running the game under Windows 95 with only 8Mb
of RAM or whilst other large applications are
running. It is recommended that you configure
Worms to run in DOS (Single Application Mode).
You can do this by selecting the WORMS icon
and selecting Properties.

Click on PROGRAM and then on ADVANCED. In here,
click on the MS-DOS mode button and USE CURRENT
MS-DOS configuration. You may also like to click
on the WARN BEFORE ENTERING MS-DOS MODE button
to skip the warning box.

Worms will then go to MS-DOS, run, then restart
Windows when you have finished playing.

Owners of higher spec machines (Eg. Pentium with
16Mb of Ram, should not encounter any problems
running Worms under Windows95).

Note that your MS-DOS must have appropriate
mouse drivers, sound-drivers and CD drivers
present, this should work automatically,
but you may find that you have to re-install
DOS versions of the drivers to re-enable them.


The game plays fine but I don't get any GAME
sound effects:
---------------------------------------------

Firstly check that your speakers are connected
correctly and that you can get sound on the
test software that came with the soundcard.

Make sure that you have a 100% compatible
soundcard and that you have chosen the correct
settings in the setup program. For example
if your test software states you have a
Soundblaster Pro set at A220 I5 D1 then you
must make sure that the settings in the setup
program match.

Make sure that if you are using a Soundblaster
or compatible sound card that you have a
"Set Blaster" command in the autoexec.bat file.

An example of this being SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1

If you have a printer connected and your sound
card is set to IRQ7, you will need to change this
to 5, assuming that this IRQ is free within
your system, as the printer is defaulted to this
interupt setting and may cause problems.

If your machine only just meets the minimum
system requirements, there may not be enough
performance/memory left to enable sound effects.


I get the sound effects during the game but I
do not get any music:
---------------------------------------------

Check that other programs (notably CD player
software) can get sound from the CD ROM.

Check that the cable that supplys audio signals
is connected from your CD ROM to your soundcard.
This is a small, thin cable with a small 3/4 pin
square connection.

If the CD ROM light is on, check the output by
plugging some personal stereo headphones into
the CD ROM jack on the front. (Be careful to
adjust the volume beforehand!)

Ensure that your soundcard mixer settings have
not got the sound volume for the CD ROM output
set to zero!
