CAESAR II
94
MSCDEX, you cannot access a CD-ROM drive through
DOS or Windows.
To make sure Smartdrive and MSCDEX are set up
properly, check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. So long as your
CD drive has been properly installed, there should be a line
that loads in MSCDEX and possibly a line that loads in
Smartdrive, or some other cache program that might have
come with your drive. Make sure the line that loads in the
caching program comes after the line that loads in
MSCDEX; if you don’t do this, the caching software will
not work.
The line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file that loads MSCDEX
looks something like: “C:\DOS\MSCDEX...”, and usually
includes other things after the “MSCDEX” such as the
DOS name of the CD device and a number of other things;
assume all these things after the “MSCDEX” are necessary
if you are going to cut and paste between configuration
files. The line that loads in Smartdrive should look
something like: “C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE”.
7. MEMORY MANAGERS
Memory Managers like HIMEM.SYS, EMM386.EXE,
QEMM, and 386Max are not needed by this program.
They may cause conflicts with the Protected Mode Runtime
program. If you experience any problems running this
program, we ask that you disable any Memory Managers
and then try loading the game again.
