Problem: My Screen goes blank after intro
or Game runs in quarter of the screen
or The Screen is a mass of corrupted lines (just looks a mess)

Solution: This is a graphics card non-compatibility, the following drivers will fix it for you.

My computer is less than one year old (download Sdd file)1.36mb

My computer is more than one year old (download Vesa.exe with readme file) 602kb

For graphics cards SIS 6502 and TRIO 64 S3 you will have to contact your supplier for the latest driver

Problem: The Game returns to Win95 for no reason

Solution: You need to check your dos prompt properties

If running in Win95 DOS prompt there are a number of setting you must turn off before the game will work properly in windows, The setting and how to set them are as follows

1. If they run the game by clicking on the "START" button and then selecting the "MS-DOS PROMPT" we will need to make a copy of the icon if not goto step 7
   
   
2. Right click on the "START" button left click on the "OPEN" menu option.
   
   
3. double click on the "PROGRAMS" folder
   
   
4. In this folder there should be a icon the same as the one you would normally double click on left click on this to hi light it and then right click and hold the right button down as you drag this icon onto your desk top.
   
   
5. When you let go of the mouse button with the icon on the desk top you will have a dialogue box will be displayed on the screen by the icon with a list of options, You must select the option "MOVE HERE"
   
   
6. When that is done you can now change the properties of this icon.
   
   
7. Left click on the icon to hi light it and when it is hi lighted right click on the icon
   
   
8. A dialogue box will be displayed on the screen by the icon and you should select the option properties ( usually last in list )
   
   
9. In the properties box you will have a list of things you can change about the way the programme can be run and other misc. stuff I will list them in order of the list from left to right
   
   
10. "GENERAL" no change is needed
    
    
11. "DATES" no change is needed
    
    
12. "PROGRAM" change "working" to be the directory the game was installed to (normally c:\animal ) and then click on "advanced" The only box that should have a tick in is "Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary".
    
    
13. "FONT" no change is needed
    
    
14. "MEMORY" all set to auto and "uses hma" should NOT have a tick in the box next to it.
    
    
15. "SCREEN" "full-screen" should have a dot in the circle next to it, only other option that should be set on the screen is "restore setting on start-up"
    
    
16. "MISC" In this screen the only two that should have a tick next to them are "warn if still active" and one of the windows shortcut keys ( I have this set to alt+tab )
    
    
17. Last click on apply button and then on the OK button and you are done.

Solution: You may need to free up some memory (This only ever happens if running with 8Mb on the computer) The best way to do this is to create a boot disk, Follow the next list of instructions.

1. Format a blank floppy disk with the following command from Dos C:\ FORMAT A: /S
   
   
2. Copy from the root directory of the hard drive of the computer the following two file onto the floppy disk with the command "COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT A:[ENTER]" and "COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS A:[ENTER]"
   
   
3. Next you will need to edit the two files to remove unneeded program's from being loaded at start-up on the computer, below is a sample before and after of the above, To remove a line form being run just place "REM " at the start of the line you wish to remove from the file
   
   
4. If this still does not let the game run then they must all so type "VMM" in the game directory before running game and also possibly set the game to use no sound by running "SETSOUND" in the game installed directory and selecting "none" from the main setsound menu. From Dos type
