disk cacheing programs such as SMARTDRV.EXE or
Opticache and anything else you don’t explicitly need to
run the game. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT to create a
configuration path that removes references to disk caches
and all other TSRs beside your mouse driver and, if
necessary, your VESA driver.
2. WHAT IS A VESA DRIVER?
To access the extended VGA mode used by the game, you
may need to load a VESA graphics driver to enhance the
functionality of your video card. Consult the manual of your
video card to find out whether or not you need to run such a
driver, what the name of the driver is and the location of it on
your hard disk or on a floppy.
3. WHY DOESN’T MY MOUSE WORK?
If your mouse does not work at all:
- Is the mouse installed for DOS? Windows uses its own
drivers, and therefore works without a properly installed
DOS mouse driver; For this reason, you cannot assume that
because a mouse works with a Windows system that a
mouse driver for DOS programs is currently installed.
To find out whether or not such a driver is installed: -enter a
DOS application that supports a mouse, such as the EDIT
utility (DOS 5.0 or later) or a DOS word processor (or
anything else, besides Windows, that loads from the DOS
prompt and uses a mouse). If the mouse does not respond
at all in such a program, then the DOS driver is not
properly loaded. Check the disk or manual that came with
your mouse for instructions on how to install it.
If the mouse works sporadically (jumping around, not
clicking properly, etc.):
- You may not have a 100% Microsoft compatible mouse
driver (this has nothing to do with hardware, only software).
