Solution: INSTALL.EXE requires 420 KB of free memory to run properly. Remove one or more applications from memory to make at least 420 KB of memory available before running INSTALL.EXE again. To check the amount of memory that is available, type mem at the DOS prompt and press ENTER. The system displays the memory that is available. The value for the largest executable program size must be more that 430080 bytes. PROBLEM: The message “Out of environment space” is displayed. Cause: The system environment space is insufficient. Solution: Add the following statement to the CONFIG.SYS file: Windows 3.1 Applications SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:512 /P The /E switch sets a new size for the system environment space. If you get the message again after changing the size to 512, reset it at 1024. Check your DOS manual for information about the Shell command. PROBLEM: Windows refuses to install a device driver, or the error message “Device not found” appears when you try to play CD audio. Cause: The SYSTEM.INI file may not contain the appropriate settings. Solution: Display the SYSTEM.INI file: 1. Choose Run from the Program Manager's File menu, then type sysedit and choose OK. 2. Make sure you have the following setting in the [mci] section of the SYSTEM.INI file: CDAudio=mcicda.drv Troubleshooting A-3
DOS Applications PROBLEM: There is no CD audio sound. Cause: The volume is not turned up. Solution: If your speakers or headphones are connected to the front audio jack, adjust the volume control on the front of the CD-ROM drive. Or, use the volume control or mixer application for your audio card to adjust the volume. Check the speaker connections and power supply if you are using powered speakers or an external amplifier. PROBLEM: When running QuickCD, the following error message appears at the top of the screen: “BLASTER setting error. I/O base set to 220 hex.” Cause: The BLASTER environment is not set in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. When you start QuickCD from the DOS command line, the program attempts to set the volume control from the BLASTER environment line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Solution: If you have Sound Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 installed, reinstall the software. If you have no Sound Blaster card installed, ignore the message—the operation of QuickCD is not affected. CTCU Configuration Utility PROBLEM: Not enough conventional memory to run CTCU. Cause: CTCU requires 561K of conventional memory. Solution: Reboot your system and press the F5 key when the “Starting MS-DOS” message appears. This bypasses the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to leave you enough conventional memory. Troubleshooting A-4
