OPERATING SYSTEM AND CD-ROM DRIVE

Chaos Control is designed to run under DOS.  If you are in Windows, 
exit all applications and then choose EXIT WINDOWS from the FILE menu 
to get to the DOS prompt.  To access the game, you will need to change 
to the CD-ROM drive.  On most systems, the CD-ROM drive is signified by 
the letter D.  Assuming drive "D" is your CD-ROM drive, type D:" and 
press the ENTER key.  If your CD-ROM drive is a letter other than D, 
substitute that letter followed by ":" and press the ENTER key.

Throughout this manual, CD-ROM drive will be used to indicate the DOS drive 
holding your game disc.  Again, on most systems the CD-ROM will be 
designated by the letter D.


CONFIGURATION CHECK

The INSTALL program on the CD will test the transfer rate of your CD-ROM 
drive and the performance of your CPU and video card.  It does not install 
software or other files since Chaos Control runs from the CD.  This program 
will check to make sure that your system can run Chaos Control acceptably.  
Change to the CD-ROM drive (see previous section for more information).  At 
the prompt, type "INSTALL" and press ENTER.  Do not interrupt the program 
while it is testing your system.  If you encounter any problems or if an 
error message is displayed, refer to the following Troubleshooting section 
(page X).


STARTING THE GAME

Chaos Control only operates under DOS.  If you are in Windows, exit all 
applications and then choose EXIT WINDOWS from the FILE menu.  At the 
DOS prompt, change to your CD-ROM drive, type "CHAOS", and press the 
ENTER key.


TROUBLESHOOTING

The error messages listed below may appear during the game or while the 
Install program is testing your hardware.

E1000 or E1006:  PROGRAM NOT LOADING CORRECTLY

PROBABLE CAUSE:  Your hardware does not meet the minimum requirements 
of the game.  

SOLUTION:  Check to make sure that your system meets the Configuration 
Requirements listed on page X, and follow the instructions to verify 
that your system is correctly setup in the Configuration Check section 
on page X.

E1000 or E03:  INSUFFICIENT MEMORY

PROBABLE CAUSE: Not enough free conventional memory.

SOLUTION:  Your system must have 550KB free memory (see Configuration 
Requirements listed on page X).  To verify the amount of free conventional 
memory, check the Largest Executable Program Size from the MEM display.  
Type "MEM" at any DOS prompt and press the ENTER key.  You must have at 
least 550KB (563,200 bytes) available.

If you use MS-DOS 6.0 or later:
The MEMMAKER command should be able to free enough space by loading 
your device drivers into upper memory.  At a DOS prompt, type "MEMMAKER" 
and press the ENTER key.  Choose EXPRESS SETUP and answer NO when 
asked if you have any programs that require expanded memory.  
Follow the on-screen instructions.  MEMMAKER will reboot your system twice, 
and when it is finished, you should have enough memory to run Chaos Control.  
If you still have trouble getting enough memory, check the boot disk section 
below.

For other versions of DOS:
Consult your DOS manual about how to load device drivers into upper memory.  
MS-DOS 5.0 uses the LOADHIGH and DEVICEHIGH statements in the 
Autoexec.Bat and Config.Sys files, respectively.  If you still cannot free 
up enough memory, check the following instructions on how to disable 
EMS and create an optimized boot disk.

Disabling Expanded Memory (EMS)
Chaos Control is compatible with but does not require expanded memory (EMS), 
and expanded memory fills 64KB of upper memory.  Therefore, to free up the 
maximum amount of conventional memory, expanded memory should be 
inactive.  To check your computer’s EMS status, type "MEM" at a DOS prompt 
and press the ENTER key.  If EMS does not appear, expanded memory has 
already disabled.  However, if EMS is listed, follow the instructions 
below to disable it, or consult your DOS manual for further instructions.

Note: Some other programs, most notably other games, do require EMS memory 
to run.  MEMMAKER can be used to enable or disable EMS,  or you can follow 
the instructions below to create a boot disk without EMS for Chaos Control. 

Without MEMMAKER, you must modify the EMM386 line in Config.Sys to 
disable expanded memory.  To edit this file, type "EDIT CONFIG.SYS" 
at a "C:\" prompt.  
Expanded memory may be disabled by checking the EMM386 line and 
verifying that NOEMS is included.  If the command is not present, 
replace "RAM" with "NOEMS".  If neither command is present, add "NOEMS". 
You can also edit any DEVICE= line to DEVICEHIGH= (except for the HIMEM.SYS 
and EMM386.EXE lines,) to try to load drivers into upper memory, out of 
the way of Chaos Control.  Finally, select SAVE from the FILE menu, and 
then select EXIT to return to the DOS prompt.  You must then reboot the 
system to enable these changes.

For example,

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 2048 X=C901 
DEVICE=C:\SNDCARD\BOBCD.SYS /D:MSCD001
becomes 
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS 2048 X=C901
	DEVICEHIGH=C:\SNDCARD\BOBCD.SYS /D:MSCD001

If, after trying the above suggestions, your free conventional memory is 
still less than 550K and you have problems running the game, create a DOS 
boot diskette that you can use to start your PC prior to running 
Chaos Control.
To create a boot diskette follow these steps:

1. Insert a blank diskette into your A:\ floppy disk drive.  You cannot boot 
   from the B:\ drive.
2. At the DOS prompt type "FORMAT A: /S", and press the ENTER key.  
   The disk will be formatted and the DOS boot files will be copied to it.  
   When finished, do not format another, and you will return to the DOS 
   prompt.
3. Type "COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS A:" and press the ENTER key.
4. Type "COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT A:" and press the ENTER key.
5. Change to the A:\ drive by typing "A:" and pressing the ENTER key.  
6. To edit the Config.Sys file, type "EDIT CONFIG.SYS" at the A:\ prompt 
   and press the ENTER key.  Remove drivers and variables not 
   necessary to the correct functioning of your sound card, CD-ROM 
   drive and mouse. Some Config.Sys lines which may be safely deleted 
   include lines beginning with DEVICE= and DEVICEHIGH= and ending 
   with SETVER.EXE, IFSHLP.SYS, and ANSI.SYS.  Be sure to leave 
   the lines with HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE!
7. Now, please verify that HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE lines are the 
   first and second DEVICE= lines, respectively, and change any 
   following lines that still begin with DEVICE= to DEVICEHIGH=.  This 
   will load these drivers into upper memory. 
8. Make sure there are both DOS=HIGH and DOS=UMB lines. If not, 
   insert them.  (You can also have a combined DOS=HIGH, UMB.)  
   These lines can appear anywhere in the file.
9. When you are finished, select SAVE from the FILE menu and then 
   select EXIT to return to the A:\ prompt.
10. To edit the Autoexec.Bat file, type "EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT" at the A:\ 
    prompt and press the ENTER key.  Autoexec.Bat lines which may be 
    safely deleted include SMARTDRV or SHARE.  You should also 
    delete lines for network drivers, virus protectors, scanner/fax drivers, 
    and any lines that begin with "CALL" or "WIN".  Be sure to Leave in 
    lines that refer to PATH, SET SOUND, SET BLASTER, MSCDEX, and 
    MOUSE.
11. For any lines that begin with C:\, insert a LOADHIGH and a space at 
    the beginning of the line, before the C:\. (C:\DOS\MOUSE becomes 
    LOADHIGH C:\DOS\MOUSE.)
12. When you are finished, select SAVE from the FILE menu, and then 
    select EXIT to return to the A:\ prompt.
13. Leave the finished boot disk in the A drive and reboot your system.  
    Your computer should start up from this disk.  Type "MEM" at a DOS 
    prompt and press the ENTER key to check the largest executable 
    program size.  If you do not yet have at least 550KB of free memory, 
    check your DOS manual, or contact our Technical Support department 
    at 310-576-1885. 

E09 or E10:  SOUND CARD PROBLEMS

PROBABLE CAUSE:  Your sound card is incompatible or it is not correctly 
installed.  Chaos Control only works with Sound Blaster(TM) 2.0 or 100% 
compatible cards.

SOLUTION:  Most problems with sound cards result from incorrect setup 
stemming from a conflict with another device.  Run your sound cards setup 
program and enable the standard Sound Blaster(TM) settings.  
Check your sound cards manual for details on enabling Sound Blaster 
emulation.  

E1002: SAVE PROBLEM

If the program was unable to create the save file or the score file, your 
hard disk may be full.

E1001, E1004, E01 or E02:  PROGRAM UNABLE TO READ CD-ROM DATA

PROBABLE CAUSE:  Your CHAOS CONTROL disc may be dirty.

SOLUTION:  Take the disc out of the drive and clean it with a dry, 
clean, soft and lint-free cloth, wiping in a straight line starting from 
the center outwards to the edge of the disc.

ANIMATION SEQUENCES ARE NOT FLOWING SMOOTHLY

PROBABLE CAUSE: Your CD-ROM drive’s transfer rate may be too slow.  See 
Configuration Requirements and Configuration Check sections on page X.  If 
you are using a portable CD-ROM interface connected to the printer port, 
this reduces the CD-ROM transfer rate considerably.

SOLUTION:  Check the settings for MSCDEX in your Autoexec.Bat file.  To edit 
the Autoexec.Bat file, type "EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT" at a "C:\" prompt, or "A:\" 
if a boot disk.  Look for a line that has MSCDEX on it.  Change the number 
of CD extension buffers on the MSCDEX line (the /M:xx setting).  

For example, in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, 

C:\DOS\MSDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:15 

indicates that the buffer is set at 15 giving you 30KB buffer.  
The maximum is 32 or 64KB buffer.  For Chaos Control, we recommend a setting 
of 15.  Higher or lower numbers may help to speed up the games CD access, 
depending on your hardware.

Note: Some CD-ROM drives have a similar buffer setting for their Config.Sys 
driver that can help access times.  Check your CD-ROM drive manual for 
details.
