SPECIAL UPDATE INFORMATION
--------------------------

CD READ ERRORS
--------------

  It was found that some CD-ROM drives had difficulty running Dracula
  Unleashed and caused the game to display a message that there had been
  a CD read error. In most cases this does not mean that the CD diskette
  is defective.
  
  Some of these errors were caused by false error messages by the CD-ROM
  drives or drivers. This new version should eliminate or greatly minimize
  the frequency of this error message on problematic drives.
  
  If you suspect that the CD is defective, check the under-side of the disk
  for any defects or scratches. If the disk is defective and without use,
  return it to the place of purchase for a replacement. Viacom will replace
  this CD if it becomes scratched for a fee of $10.00 and the return of the
  damaged CD. NOTE: THIS REPLACEMENT POLICY CAN CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.


ARIA SOUND CARDS
----------------

  The ARIA chipset was found to have a problem emulating Sound Blaster
  correctly. Due to the nature of the problem, versions 2.0 and greater
  of Draucla Unleashed have been changed to compensate for compatibility
  problem. See the ARIA section below for more information.


MICROSOFT SOUND SYSTEM
----------------------

  Microsoft Sound System verion 2 sound cards use a new sound chip from
  a different company. This new chip contains a different ID and therefore
  was not recognized by earlier verions of Dracula Unleashed. The 2.1
  version corrects this problem.

1. MANUAL ADDENDUM
   ---------------
   
DRACULA CONFIGURATIONS
----------------------

   Dracula Unleashed can run in one of two configurations: VGA or Super VGA.  
   When you type DRACULA, Dracula Unleashed examines your system's video 
   and audio configuration and starts in the appropriate one for your 
   system.
   
   Dracula Unleashed uses the following criteria when determining which
   configuration to use:
   
   *  Dracula Unleashed runs in Super VGA, if your system contains a 
      Super VGA video card with 512K of video memory (or more) and the 
      video card has built-in VESA compatibility or a VESA driver has 
      been loaded.

   *  Dracula Unleashed runs in VGA, if your system contains a Super VGA 
      video card with less 512K of video memory, or a standard VGA video 
      card. Dracula Unleashed also runs in VGA mode, if a Super VGA 
      video card with 512K of video memory is not VESA compatible.

   Dracula Unleashed will attempt to use which ever configuration it finds 
   first unless the -VGA switch is used. The default Dracula Unleashed 
   uses in determining the configuration is: 
	1. Check for a VESA driver
	2. Check the video chip set for compatibility
	3. Check for VGA compatibility 
   
   If the -VESA switch is used, the checking sequence changes to:  
	1. Check the video chip set for compatibility
	2. Check for a VESA driver
	3. Check for VGA compatibility 


DRACULA SWITCHES
----------------

   Sometimes you may want to run Dracula Unleashed in a specific mode
   or configuration, even if it is not the one the program chooses. To 
   ensure Dracula Unleashed runs in a particular configuration, include 
   the necessary switch on the Dracula Unleashed command line when you 
   start Dracula Unleashed. For example, to start Dracula Unleashed in 
   VGA, type DRACULA -VGA. You can specify one the following switches.

	   Use this switch      To do this
	   ---------------      ----------
	   -VGA                 Run Dracula Unleashed in VGA mode.

				This switch is useful if you are having 
				problems running Dracula Unleashed in
				Super VGA.

	   -VESA                Run Dracula Unleashed in Super VGA mode.

				This switch changes the order in which 
				video compatibility is checked. This mode 
				runs Dracula Unleashed at its optimum 
				video resolution of 640x480 with 256 
				colors provided the video card is 
				compatible. Some video cards may require 
				a VESA driver.

	   -DEMO                Run Dracula Unleashed in Demo mode.

				This switch runs the self running 
				demo of the Dracula Unleashed game. 
				Pressing the ESC key will exit the
				demo.
	   
	   -NoIRQCheck          Disable IRQ test on the sound card

	   -?                   Display the available switches and their
				descriptions.
   
   The -NoIRQCheck switch is used to turn off IRQ testing before
   Dracula Unleashed starts. See "COULD NOT INITIALIZE SOUND CARD" in the 
   Q&A section for more information.


CARRIAGE EXIT
-------------

   The Carriage screen is where you select your travel destination. Once
   you select the name of the person you wish to visit and confirm your
   destination, you have the option to exit the carriage without listening 
   to the entire sound clip. To exit the carriage in this way: click the 
   Door icon and then click any place else on the screen, except for 
   another icon.


KILLED IN DAYLIGHT
------------------

   It is Hollywood's vampires that can't kill in daylight. In true
   folklore, vampires can kill day or night.

   In Dracula Unleashed, you are required to accomplish certain tasks each
   day to stay alive. If you continue to be killed during a certain time,
   watch the death scene carefully for possible clues to your death and
   pay MORE attention to the video scenes as you replay the game again.



2. VIDEO CARD/CHIPSET COMPATIBILITY  
   --------------------------------

   Dracula Unleashed supports VGA and Super VGA with a minimum of 512K 
   of memory on the card. The ATI Mach32, ET4000, and some Headland 
   chipsets are directly supported by Dracula Unleashed without a VESA 
   TSR. However, if you have difficulties with any video card, try the 
   Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD.
   
   Some video cards may produce what looks like static or lines in parts 
   of the video scenes. Usually this is due to a slow video card or a 
   slow CD-ROM drive. Random pixels of red, blue, or green may appear 
   when Dracula Unleashed is used with old video cards.
    
   The following video cards/chipsets have been tested with Dracula 
   Unleashed and will work in their compatible modes.

	Make/Model                         Chipset         Mode
	---------------------              ------------    ----------
	ATI Graphics Ultra Pro             ATI             VGA / SVGA
	Diamond Speedstar Pro              Cirrus Logic    VGA / SVGA
	Generic                            Trident         VGA / SVGA 
	Orchid Pro-Designer II             ET4000          VGA / SVGA
	Orchid Pro-Designer IIs            ET4000          VGA / SVGA
	Orchid Fahrenheit 1280             S3              VGA / SVGA
	Paradise SVGA                      WD90c3x         VGA / SVGA
	STB Systems Power Graph HiColor    ET4000          VGA / SVGA
	Video Seven VRAM II                Headland        VGA / SVGA
	Willow                             ET3000          VGA / SVGA
	
	ATI Graphics Ultra XLR             ATI             VGA
	Diamond Viper VLB                  Weitek P9000    VGA
	Paradise VGA                       Paradise        VGA
   

CIRRUS CL-GD5424
----------------

   Video cards using the Cirrus CL-GD5424 chipset display triple screens
   making the game unplayable. Running the Universal VESA TSR on this
   CD may fix the problem. If problem continues with the VESA TSR, run
   the game in VGA. Before running the game each time, turned off for 
   about 10 seconds and then reboot.


DIAMOND BOARDS
--------------

   The Diamond Speedstar cards may require the use of a compatible 
   VESA driver. Some VESA drivers may cause Dracula Unleashed to fill 
   the screen with the upper left portion of its video, cause the mouse 
   to leave trails on the screen, or cause the machine to lockup. Try 
   using the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD before running 
   Dracula Unleashed.

   The Diamond Viper card, as of 1/94, will only run in VGA. If a VESA
   driver has been loaded, the -VGA switch must be used to force Dracula
   Unleashed into VGA compatibility.


ET3000 BOARDS
-------------
   
   Video cards that use the ET3000 chipset will require the use of a 
   compatible VESA driver. Without the VESA driver, Dracula Unleashed
   fills the screen with the upper left portion of its video. Try using
   the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD before running Dracula
   Unleashed.


HERCULES GRAPHITE
-----------------

   In some cases, the Hercules Graphite VL cards may cause squealing or 
   static in the audio. This happens for one of two reasons: the sound 
   card is too close to the video card or the card may require a PAL 
   chip upgrade from Hercules. Contact Hercules for further information.


PARADISE BOARDS
---------------

   The Paradise SVGA card uses a Western Digital chipset (WD90c30 or 
   WD90c31). The built-in VESA compatibility tends to cause a "Memory
   Allocation Error" when Dracula Unleashed attempts to use extended
   memory. If this happens, run the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) 
   on this CD before running Dracula.


TRIDENT BOARDS
--------------

   The Trident Super VGA boards, 8800 & 8900, cause the mouse pointer to 
   leave trails on the screen when using built-in VESA. In most cases 
   this is solved by running the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this 
   CD before running Dracula. If you continue to have mouse trails or 
   other video problem, contact Trident for an updated VESA driver.
   
   The Trident 9200cx VL may require a VESA driver from Trident as it is
   not supported by the Universal VESA TSR.


VIDEO 7 BOARDS
--------------
   
   The Video Seven VRAM II card may have some difficulty operating in
   Super VGA on some machines. Dip switch 8 must be ON and some machines 
   may require Dip switch 7 OFF for the Super VGA mode to work.

   Some Packard Bell machines have built-in Video 7 Super VGA. The
   built-in video uses a newer version of the Headland chipset and is not 
   supported 100% by Dracula Unleashed as of 1/94. One result of this 
   incompatibility is that the mouse leaves trails on the screen. To 
   minimize this annoyance, move the mouse off to the side of the screen 
   during the video scenes and keep it still when the journal is being 
   written to. To read names in the Address Book that have been corrupted, 
   click on the name.


VESA COMPATIBILITY
------------------

   Many Super VGA video cards come with VESA compatibility built into 
   the card's hardware. Although, old Super VGA cards may only be compatible 
   with an old revision of the VESA standard. In this case, a VESA driver 
   may need to be loaded before playing Dracula Unleashed. Try running 
   the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD or contact the video 
   card manufacturer for a VESA driver. You will find a list for some of 
   the manufacturers with BBS numbers at the end of this section.


VGA COMPATIBILITY
-----------------

   With some VGA video cards, the display of the Dracula Unleashed video 
   may be darker than that of other video cards. This is not due to the 
   game, but due to the color palette that video card uses. 

   
UNIVERSAL VESA TSR
------------------

   The Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) is a special VESA driver that will 
   determine the video chipset used on your video card. If it recognizes 
   the chipset, it will load a VESA driver specifically for that chipset, 
   allowing Dracula Unleashed to run properly in Super VGA. 
   
   If you have a VESA TSR for your video card, or your video card has a 
   VESA compatible BIOS already, you may want to use the Universal TSR
   instead. Many of the TSR's that exist today and many of the older
   Super VGA cards implement an older version of the VESA programming 
   standard (if any at all). Some of these older drivers may also contain
   bugs that will cause problems running Dracula Unleashed. The Universal 
   VESA TSR on this CD has been tested and works with Dracula Unleashed.
   
   The Universal VESA TSR contains 386 dependent code; and like Dracula 
   Unleashed, it will only run on a machine that has a 80386 CPU or better. 
   Currently, the Universal VESA TSR supports the following Super VGA 
   chipsets:
   
	 - ATI Technologies 18800, 28800
	 - Ahead A & B
	 - Chips & Technologies 82c451/452/453
	 - Everex
	 - Genoa Systems GVGA
	 - OAK Technologies OTI-037C, OTI-067, OTI-077
	 - Paradise PVGA1A, WD90C00/10/11/30/31
	 - NCR 77C20/21/22E
	 - Trident 88/8900
	 - Video7 V7VGA versions 1-5
	 - Tseng Labs ET3000, ET4000
	 - AcuMos AVGA2
	 - S3 86c911/924/801/805/928
	 - Advance Logic AL2101 SuperVGA
	 - MXIC 86010 SuperVGA
	 - Primus 2000 SuperVGA
	 - RealTek 3106 SuperVGA
	 - Cirrus CL-GD 5422 SuperVGA
     
   The Universal VESA TSR seems to have problems with QEMM, since QEMM 
   does something unusual with the Video BIOS. In order to fix this 
   problem, you should either create a boot disk using SETDRAC found 
   on this CD or use the QEMM "EXCLUDE" options to exclude the Video 
   BIOS area. Do this by including the following in the QEMM options.

	 EXCLUDE=C000-C1FF

   To run the Universal VESA TSR, type UNIVESA at the CD-ROM DOS prompt
   and hit Enter. It will return a message indicating the type of video
   card found and amount of memory on the video card.

3. SOUND CARD COMPATIBILITY
   ------------------------

   Dracula Unleashed has a volume control by using the CTRL-PgUp and
   CTRL-PgDown keys on your key board. Volume control is only usable
   for those sound cards that have software volume control support.
   If you card does not work with the Dracula Unleashed volume
   control, check with your sound card manufacturer for the proper
   way to change the volume.


ADLIB GOLD
----------

   The AdLib Gold card requires a "SET GOLD=" command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT 
   file to allow programs like Dracula Unleashed to identify the settings 
   on the card. If you have difficulty running Dracula Unleashed with the
   AdLib Gold, try running the AdLib setup program.


MICROSOFT SOUND SYSTEM
----------------------

   The Microsoft Sound System board may require an environment variable 
   that lets Dracula Unleashed know the card's settings. If you have this
   sound card or a compatible and are having difficulty, insert the 
   following lines into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set the Port Address, 
   IRQ, and DMA.

			SET WSS_IRQ=xx
			SET WSS_DMA=xx
  
   Substitute "xxx" with a valid Port Address, IRQ, or DMA. Dracula 
   Unleashed supports the following settings as long as they do not 
   conflict with other cards in the machine.
					  
	       IRQ channels: (16-bit slot) 7,9,10, or 11
			     (8-bit slot) 7 or 9
	       DMA channels: 1 or 3


PRO AUDIO SPECTRUM
------------------

   The Pro Audio Spectrum (PAS) setup inserts a device driver, MVSOUND.SYS, 
   in your CONFIG.SYS file that sets the PAS and Sound Blaster compatibility.
   Dracula Unleashed requires this variable be set so that the PAS and 
   Sound Blaster portions of the card do not conflict. Dracula Unleashed 
   supports the following PAS and Sound Blaster settings.
  
      Pro Audio Spectrum                          Sound Blaster
   --------------------------------------   -----------------------------
   Port Address: 220,230, or 240            Port Address: 220,230, or 240
    DMA channel: 1 or 3                      DMA channel: 1 or 3
    IRQ channel: 2,3,5,7,10,11,12, or 15     IRQ channel: 2,3,5, or 7

   Dracula Unleashed will not support an IRQ if it is shared with another 
   card in the machine. PAS Plus cards may need the SB_ON command removed 
   from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for Dracula Unleashed to work properly. 
   Loading the MVSOUND.SYS driver high in memory may cause problems on 
   some machines. Using a DMA channels 5-7 will cause an "IRQ or DMA
   conflict" error.

   When attempting to run Dracula, if the screen clears and then redisplays 
   the DOS prompt: check the MVSOUND.SYS driver for compatible IRQ and DMA 
   channels and look for the letters "u" or "w" at the end of the 
   MVSOUND.SYS device line.


SOUND BLASTER
-------------

   The Sound Blaster setup provides an environment variable, SET BLASTER,
   in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Dracula Unleashed requires that this variable 
   to be set so that it can identify the type of sound card to use. 
   
	      SET BLASTER=Axxx Ixx Dxx Txx
   
   Substitute each "xxx" with the appropriate Port Address, IRQ, or DMA.
   Dracula Unleashed supports all the Sound Blaster revision 1.0 settings 
   but only supports the following Sound Blaster Pro, 16, and 16asp settings.

	     Port Address:  220 or 240
	      DMA channel:  1 or 3
	      IRQ channel:  2,3,5,7, or 10

   Dracula Unleashed will not support an IRQ if it is shared with another 
   card in the machine. Original 8-bit Sound Blaster customers must add
   the SET Blaster line manually to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

   If you have an IBM PS/2 machine and are using the Micro-channel version
   of the Sound Blaster card, it is recommended that the card be a 
   revision 5 card or greater. Revision 4 cards are known to have problems
   and may not work properly with Dracula Unleashed. Contact Creative Labs
   or IBM for more information.

   NOTE: IF THE SET BLASTER ADDRESS DOES NOT MATCH THE HARDWARE JUMPER
	 SETTING, DRACULA UNLEASHED WILL INDICATE THAT IF FINDS AN ADLIB 
	 GOLD SOUND CARD AND THAT THERE IS AN IRQ OR DMA CONFLICT.


SOUND MASTER II
---------------

   Dracula Unleashed has no means to detect the COVOX Sound Master II sound
   board directly. We have provided three environment variables (SMIIPORT, 
   SMIIDMA, and SMIIIRQ) that you can set to tell Dracula Unleashed what 
   port, DMA and IRQ your board is set to.

   Insert the following lines into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to set the boards 
   Port Address, IRQ,  and DMA:

			   SET SMIIPORT=xxx
			   SET SMIIDMA=xxx         
			   SET SMIIIRQ=xxx      

   Substitute "xxx" with a valid Port Address, IRQ, or DMA. The following 
   is a list of valid settings.

		 Port Address:  220, 240, 280, or 2C0
		  DMA channel:  1 or 3
		  IRQ channel:  2,3,5, or 7
  
   Dracula Unleashed will not support an IRQ if it is shared with another 
   card in the machine.
  

GRAVIS ULTRASOUND
-----------------

   The Advaced Gravis Ultrasound card supports Sound Blaster compatibility.
   To do this, the SBOS driver must be loaded using the "-X2" switch and
   EMM386.EXE must be remarked (REM) or removed from the CONFIG.SYS file.
   The Ultrasound card only support the following Sound Blaster settings:

	     Port Address:  210, 220, 230, 240, 250, or 260
	      DMA channel:  1
	      IRQ channel:  2,3,5,or 7
   
   The Port Address is set using a hardware jumper on the card and the IRQ
   and DMA channels are set using software settings in the CONFIG.SYS and
   AUTOEXEC.BAT files. The MIDI IRQ channel is also used as the Sound 
   Blaster mode IRQ.

   Dracula Unleashed was tested with the Ultrasound card using the SBOS
   driver version 2.08. However, due to the SBOS Sound Blaster emulation
   the audio quality was not 100%


ARIA SOUND CARDS
----------------
 
  Due to Sound Blaster incompatibilities, Dracula Unleashed 1.0 would not
  run with sound cards using the Aria chipset. The problem has been fixed
  in this version of the Dracula Unleashed program. However, Aria type
  sound cards which use an older ROM versions will need to download a
  speacial ROM patch: SB195.ZIP or SB199.ZIP. This patch will fix the
  high pitch audio problem which makes the characters in the game sound
  poorly.

  The following is a list of known companies with their respective sound
  card names which use the Aria chipset.

4. CD-ROM DRIVE COMPATIBILITY
   --------------------------

   Dracula Unleashed requires a CD-ROM drive that meets or exceeds 
   a continuous-read data transfer rate of 150K per second. Although,
   some drives may have difficulty when used with a slow machine and 
   video card. 
   
   CD-ROM drives may be slow because either the hardware itself is
   slow or because the device drivers require to much processing time
   to find and transfer data. Drives with an average seek time of 
   approximately 380-400 milliseconds (ms) tend to have both better
   hardware and device drivers. The following drives are known to have
   difficulty on slow machines.

	CHINON  :   CDA-431, CDS-435
	PHILIPS :   CM-205, CM-206
	PIONEER :   DRM-600 (6-disc Jukebox drive)
	MAGNAVOX:   CDD-461
	MITSUMI :   CRMC-LU005
	NEC     :   CDR-25, CDR-36, CDR-37, CDR-38
	SONY    :   CDU-31a, CDU-535
  
   NOTE: Dracula Unleashed will not work with the Tandy 1000, 
	 the Mitsumi CRMC-LU002, or the BSR 6800MX CD-ROM drives 
	 on most machines. These drives have a very slow seek time
	 and use device drivers that require too much processing 
	 time.
   
   The following drives are known to cause Dracula Unleashed to display
   a message "There has been a CD read error":

	NEC     :   3XE, 3XI
	PHILIPS :   CM-206, CM-206
	TEXEL   :   DM-3024, DM-5024

   Some CD-ROM drives may have difficulty reading a CD containing 600MB
   of data or more. This is because the laser head may not be capable of 
   reading the outermost part of the CD disc. Other drives may cause the 
   message "There has been a CD read error"; this can not be help with
   the drives listed above. Check with the CD-ROM manufacturer for 
   information regarding your drive's capability.


OPTIMIZING YOUR CD-ROM DRIVE
----------------------------
   
   So, you purchased a CD-ROM drive or a complete multimedia PC machine 
   and Dracula Unleashed does not work properly. Have you checked for 
   IRQ or DMA conflicts? Are you trying to run the game from Windows 
   when it is a DOS game? Have you checked to make sure the device 
   drivers are up-to-date? Any one of these could cause poor performance 
   in this game.
   
   One of the most common problems is that the CD-ROM drive may not 
   meet the game's requirements. Check the average access time and 
   data transfer rate to make certain it is compatible with the game. 
   The CD-ROM drive's ability to locate and transfer data accurately 
   and quickly may make a difference in many multimedia games. Here
   are a few more suggestions: 
   
   *  Check the CD-ROM manual for setting a buffer size in the 
      CD-ROM's device driver

   *  Close any TSR or menu programs before running the game

   *  Create a system boot disk with only the device drivers needed 
      for the sound card, CD-ROM, and mouse

   *  Remove any expanded memory managers such as QEMM or 386MAX; or
      add the NOEMS switch to EMM386

   *  Remove any disk cache software such as Smartdrive

   *  Remove any CD cache software such as Lightning CD or CD Speedway, 
      if your machine is slow

   *  In your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, set the buffer setting used by the 
      MSCDEX.EXE driver to /M:10

5. MACHINE COMPATIBILITY
   ---------------------

386dx40
-------

   Some 386dx40 machines may have difficulty running Dracula Unleashed. 
   This type of machine uses a higher bus speed of 10MHz instead of the 
   standard 8MHz. What this means is that some hardware devices, such as 
   a sound card or CD-ROM interface, may not work properly when the IRQ 
   and DMA channels are used. This is a RARE problem and the only solution 
   may be to try a different board from different manufacturer.



COMPAQ
------

   Dracula Unleashed may have troubles identifying video compatibility on
   the Compaq Prolinea series. This can be easily solved by using the 
   Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) on this CD or downloading the 
   appropriate VESA driver from Compaq's BBS.

		Technical Support: 800-345-1518
		   Bulletin Board: 713-378-1418


DELL
----
   
   Dracula Unleashed may have difficulty on some of the Dell multimedia
   machines that use the Sound Blaster 16 card. In some cases, the MPU
   401 UART address in the SET BLASTER command does not match the hardware
   jumper address set on the card. This occurs when the setup software 
   for the Sound Blaster 16 card is used to auto scan the card for the 
   current settings.

   To solve this problem, you will have to refer to your Sound Blaster 16
   Getting Started manual. First, check the SET BLASTER command in the 
   AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the current MPU 401 UART address. This address
   is identified by the starting letter "P" and then the address. 
   
		SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

   Next, determine the address setting on the board inside the machine
   by comparing the jumper setting on the board to what is in the manual. 
   If they do not match, change the SET BLASTER command to the setting on 
   the board.

		   Bulletin Board: 512-338-8528



PACKARD BELL
------------

   Some Packard Bell machines have built-in Video 7 Super VGA. The
   built-in video uses a newer version of the Headland chipset and is not 
   supported 100% by Dracula Unleashed as of 1/94. One result of this 
   incompatibility is that the mouse leaves trails on the screen. To 
   minimize this annoyance, move the mouse off to the side of the screen 
   during the video scenes and keep it still when the journal is being 
   written to. To read names in the Address Book that have been corrupted, 
   click on the name.

   Some of the Packard Bell multimedia machines come with Aztech Labs' 
   Sound Galaxy NX Pro 16 sound card. This card may require the SETMODE
   program to change the card to be Microsoft Sound System compatible.
   This program can be found in the "C:\MMP16P\UTILITY" directory. Run
   SETMODE if the game does not play any audio.



TANDY SENSATION
---------------

   Dracula Unleashed does NOT support the Tandy Sensation's built-in 
   sound hardware. If you want to use the Dracula Unleashed, you must 
   install a sound board that is both compatible with Dracula Unleashed 
   and does not conflict with the sound hardware on the Tandy Sensation. 
   Dracula Unleashed has been tested with the Microsoft Windows Sound 
   System at its default settings and runs without conflict.



6. SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY 
   ----------------------

MICROSOFT WINDOWS
-----------------   

   Dracula Unleashed is a DOS-based program. It is not designed to be run 
   under Microsoft Windows nor OS/2. Please exit Windows or any other 
   shell program to a DOS prompt before playing the game. If any attempts 
   are made to run the game under Windows or OS/2, unique problems may 
   occur. In addition, if Windows is running, major demands will be placed 
   on the machine's processing power which can cause the system to lockup. 
   OS/2 DOS will not allow the DOS extended memory program used by Dracula
   Unleashed to use extended memory.
   
   OS/2 users should create a MS-DOS or PC-DOS boot disk if the machine is 
   not set up for a dual boot of OS/2 and DOS. This will allow the machine 
   to boot without OS/2 and the game to run properly. 


MICROSOFT DOUBLESPACE
---------------------   

   Microsoft DoubleSpace is a hard disk compression program that 
   approximately doubles the available space on your hard drive. DoubleSpace 
   has been known to cause frequent lockups while running Dracula Unleashed. 
   It is recommended that DoubleSpace be removed from memory before running 
   Dracula Unleashed by creating a boot disk which does not contain 
   DoubleSpace.

   To create a boot disk without DoubleSpace, run the SETDRAC program 
   on this CD and select the option to create a boot disk. Then turn
   off the computer for 10 seconds and then reboot with the boot disk.
   When saving a game, save it to the boot disk. Saving games to a
   DoubleSpace drive without DoubleSpace running may damage the compressed
   files already on the hard drive.
   

MEMORY MANAGERS
---------------

   A memory manager has a few functions: loading files above 640K, 
   converting ROM addresses into high memory, emulating expanded memory, 
   and maximizing available conventional memory. But by doing all this,
   the machine may become unstable and lockup. Some of the memory managers
   used are:  QEMM by Quarterdeck, 386MAX by Qualitas, and EMM386 by 
   Microsoft.

   If you experience frequent lockups and are using any of the above memory
   managers, try running the SETDRAC program and create a boot disk. This
   will eliminate these programs and hopefully make your machine more 
   stable for running Dracula Unleashed.

   If you must use a memory manager, then try to use it in its more basic
   or most stable form. QEMM, for instance, has an option called Stealth
   mode which is not compatible with Dracula Unleashed. EMM386 uses MemMaker
   to mix and match the best loading order of device drivers and TSR's in
   upper memory. As a result, MemMaker causes some difficulties with sound 
   and CD-ROM drivers operating properly. The SETDRAC program will use
   EMM386 if it is found and remove any MemMaker commands automatically.


7. DRACULA UNLEASHED BOOT DISK
   ---------------------------
   A CD-ROM boot disk is a system disk that contains the least amount of
   system software to start a machine with a CD-ROM drive attached. If you 
   are having difficulty playing the game or cannot free the conventional 
   memory required to load the program; we strongly recommend that you 
   create a CD-ROM boot disk as described below.

   There are two ways to create a boot disk for Dracula Unleashed: manually
   or using the SETDRAC program. Creating a boot disk in either case will 
   require a blank floppy disk that must be used in your A: drive. 
   
   In any case it is recommended that SETDRAC be used to create the boot
   disk. To run SETDRAC, go to the CD-ROM DOS prompt, type SETDRAC and 
   press the Enter key. Follow the instructions on the screen to create a
   boot disk. This program will prompt you for the necessary information. 
   When the boot disk is complete, leave the disk in the A: drive and 
   reboot your machine. If Dracula Unleashed still won't load, turn off 
   the computer for 10 seconds and then reboot and run DRACULA.


8. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
   -------------------
   
   Q.  I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FREE MEMORY TO PLAY DRACULA UNLEASHED.

   A.  Dracula Unleashed requires approx. 450K of free conventional memory 
       and 2MB of extended memory to load the program. Free the amount 
       of memory needed by removing any unnecessary device drivers/TSR's 
       from memory or create a CD-ROM boot disk using the SETDRAC program
       found on the CD.

       If the DOS 6 MemMaker program has been used to optimize the memory
       configuration, some machines may not allow extended memory to be
       used with Dracula Unleashed. Try running the SETDRAC program to
       create a boot disk without the MemMaker commands.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "Memory Allocation Error."

   A.  This error is most often the result of an incompatible VESA driver
       built-in to the video card. Try running the Universal VESA TSR
       (UNIVESA.EXE) before running Dracula Unleashed.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT DETECT A MOUSE..."

   A.  Make sure that the mouse is connected and that a DOS mouse driver 
       is loading in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS. Read your mouse's 
       users manual for directions on how to load a mouse driver for 
       DOS programs. 

       If you have Windows, check your Windows' diskettes for the file
       MOUSE.CO_ or MOUSE.SY_. Use the EXPAND utility that comes with
       DOS to decompress one of the files to your hard drive.

		Example:  EXPAND A:\MOUSE.CO_  C:\MOUSE.COM
       
       Then add the driver to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or CONFIG.SYS depending
       on the type of driver.

	1. At the DOS prompt "C:\", type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT
	2. Add the line C:\MOUSE.COM
	3. Save and exit the Edit program
	4. Reboot the computer
       

   Q.  I GET A DOS/4GW ERROR.

   A.  This is an indication that some driver or TSR is conflicting
       with the Dracula Unleashed when it tries to allocate memory. Create 
       a CD-ROM boot disk using the SETDRAC program found on the CD.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT FIND COMPATIBLE SOUND CARD."

   A.  Possibility 1. If you are using a Sound Blaster or compatible sound
       card, the "SET BLASTER" line may be either missing from your 
       AUTOEXEC.BAT file or it does not reflect the actual hardware settings
       on the card. This line tells a DOS program what settings your sound 
       card is set to and is normally created when you install the card's 
       drivers onto your hard drive. Either re-install the drivers for your 
       sound card according to the directions in the manual or write a 
       SET BLASTER line yourself based on the card's settings. For a 
       description of the SET BLASTER line, see the sample in the Sound
       Blaster section of this text.
   
       Possibility 2. The sound card is set to an Interrupt that is already
       in use by another part of your machine's hardware. The most common
       conflict occurs on Interrupt 7, which is the default on Sound Blaster
       cards. IRQ7 is reserved by some machine's BIOS' for LPT1 (The 1st
       printer/parallel port). Check your sound card's user manual for the 
       method of changing IRQ's and set the sound card to use another 
       interrupt. 

       Possibility 3. If you are using PAS16/PAS Plus cards (Pro Audio
       Spectrum 16), the device driver loaded to enable the PAS portion of 
       the card may be using the same IRQ and DMA that the Sound Blaster 
       portion is currently using or is using a 16-bit DMA. Change the 
       settings of the MVSOUND.SYS driver to IRQ 7 (Q:7) and DMA 3 (D:3)
       or any other available setting. IRQ 5 and DMA 1 are already used 
       by default for the Sound Blaster portion of the card and, therefore, 
       cannot be used. DMA channels 5-7 are not supported by Dracula 
       Unleashed.

       Possibility 4.  You are using an incompatible sound card or do not
       have a sound card installed. Dracula Unleashed requires a 100% 
       compatible Sound Blaster card or one listed on the outside of its
       box in order to play.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT INITIALIZE SOUND CARD."

   A.  Possibility 1. This may be an indication that you have a DMA or
       IRQ conflict with your sound card. Check the IRQ and DMA settings
       on the sound card, make sure they are not being used by any other
       hardware on your machine.

       Possibility 2. You may get this message on some occasions, if you
       do not have enough free conventional memory. Try removing some
       TSR's not used to play Dracula Unleashed to free up additional 
       memory.

       Possibility 3. You may have an older sound card that Dracula 
       Unleashed is having difficulty testing or thinks there is an 
       IRQ conflict. If you know the card is compatible and is set
       properly, try using the switch -NoIRQCheck. This will tell
       Dracula Unleashed to ignore testing the IRQ.

   
   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT FIND A COMPATIBLE VIDEO CARD."

   A.  This message may appear on a few old VGA video cards and with
       some of the new VL-Bus video built into the Compaq machines.
       Try loading the Universal VESA TSR (UNIVESA.EXE) or a VESA 
       driver from the manufacturer of the machine or video card.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "COULD NOT FIND DATA FILES."

   A.  This may be an indication that you have a TSR conflict or you
       did not load Dracula Unleashed from the CD-ROM DOS prompt.       
       Exit any shell programs and try running Dracula Unleashed from
       the CD-ROM drive.


   Q.  MY SYSTEM IS LOCKING OR CRASHING AT, BEFORE, OR DURING THE TITLE
       SCREEN.

   A.  Possibility 1. This is a sign that the sound card is set to an 
       IRQ already in use by another part of your machine's hardware. 
       It is very important to set the IRQ on the sound card to one that
       is only used by the sound card.
       
       Possibility 2. Using DOS 6.0 with the DoubleSpace feature causes
       random locking on many machines. To eliminate DoubleSpace, create 
       a boot disk with the SETDRAC program found on the CD.
       
       Possibility 3. Dracula Unleashed will not work with the buffered 
       DMA setting on the ATI Stereo FX card. Disable the "Buffer DMA Play" 
       setting using ATI's setup program.
       
       Possibility 4. Dracula Unleashed may be receiving device driver 
       interference due to the drivers using too much processor time, 
       attempting to screen incoming data for viruses, tracking system 
       activity, etc. Try creating a CD-ROM boot disk by running SETDRAC
       at the CD-ROM DOS prompt.

       Possibility 5. If you use a Pro Audio Spectrum Plus card, make 
       certain that the "SB_ON" file is not loading in your AUTOEXEC.BAT 
       file. This is not required for Dracula Unleashed to use your sound 
       card. This line may be removed or commented out, with a REM 
       statement, from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file; then restart your machine.

       Possibility 6. Using a Pro Audio Spectrum card's SCSI port
       with a Toshiba XM-3301 or XM-3401 may cause garbage on the screen
       during the video scenes. Try adding "/S30" to the TSLCDR.SYS 
       driver: 
			
		   DEVICE=C:\PAS\TSLCDR.SYS /D:MSCD001 /S30


   Q.  MY SCREEN CLEARS AND THEN DISPLAYS THE DOS PROMPT AGAIN

   A.  Possibility 1. There may be a driver conflict with the game. If
       you are using a Pro Audio Spectrum card, check the MVSOUND.SYS
       driver in the CONFIG.SYS file for the letters "u" or "w". If either
       of these characters is found, remove it.
   
       Possibility 2. There may be an incompatible mouse driver loading. 
       If you are using a Microsoft or Logitech mouse, try loading
       a Microsoft Mouse instead of the current mouse driver. If you are 
       not using a Microsoft or Logitech mouse, try loading a Microsoft 
       Mouse driver version 8.20 or greater instead of the current mouse 
       driver.


   Q.  MY SCREEN DISPLAYS UNREADABLE TEXT, THE AUDIO REPEATS, AND THE SYSTEM 
       LOCKS UP.

   A.  This is an indication that there may be an IRQ conflict between  
       your sound card and some other board on your machine. Try changing
       the IRQ on the sound card.


   Q.  WHEN I MOVE THE MOUSE, MY MACHINE LOCKS UP.

   A.  If your mouse is using the same IRQ as your sound card or CD-ROM
       drive, the interrupt conflict will cause the machine to lock up 
       when the mouse is moved. Change the IRQ's so that each device 
       has its own unique interrupt. See the manual for your mouse, 
       sound card or CD-ROM drive for instructions on changing the IRQ's.


   Q.  THE PROGRAM'S SOUND AND MOTION HESITATE MOMENTARILY. WHY?

   A.  Possibility 1. There is device driver interference with data transfer 
       from CD-ROM. Try creating a CD-ROM boot disk with the SETDRAC program.

       Possibility 2. The CD-ROM drive or its device driver cannot keep up
       with the demands placed upon it by Dracula Unleashed. Check with the
       manufacturer of your CD-ROM drive or interface for a software or
       hardware update.

       Possibility 3. If you load an Expanded Memory Manager such 
       as EMM386, QEMM, or 386MAX, you may experience problems because 
       your machine is too slow when an memory manager is loaded. Expanded 
       memory managers tend to slow the machine by approximately 25-40%. 
       Try disabling or removing the memory manager from the CONFIG.SYS 
       file and reboot before playing Dracula Unleashed. EMM386 users 
       should try using the NOEMS switch.


   Q.  I DON'T GET SOUND WHEN THE VIDEO IS PLAYING.

   A.  Possibility 1. If any device is sharing the DMA channel with 
       the sound card, you will not hear any audio. See your sound 
       card's manual for instructions on changing the DMA and make 
       sure the speakers are plugged into the correct port on your 
       sound card.

       Possibility 2. Some sound cards may have multiple sound card
       support in which one may not be 100% compatible. Try setting
       the card for a different sound card compatibility. The
       Sound Galaxy NX Pro 16 and the Sound FX 16 cards need to be
       set for Microsoft Sound System compatibility using the SETMODE
       program which came with the cards.


   Q.  I GET THE MESSAGE "THERE HAS BEEN A READ ERROR ON THE CD"

   A.  Possibility 1. Dracula Unleashed requires a continuous-read 
       CD-ROM drive with a 150 KB/sec data transfer rate. Some CD-ROM 
       drives, such as the NEC 25, 35, 36, 36M, 37 drives, are known 
       as "packet-read" drives, which may corrupt the data coming 
       off the CD-ROM drive when used with Dracula Unleashed.

       scratches, etc.. If it's not scratched, you should be able remove 
       the smudges with a clean cloth.


   Q.  THE PROGRAM QUITS AND DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE "3 POINTERS LEFT
       ALLOCATED."

   A.  There aren't enough FILES allocated in the CONFIG.SYS file. Add the 
       statement "FILES=20" to the CONFIG.SYS file or modify the existing 
       "FILES" statement.


   Q.  THE VIDEO SCENES NEVER PLAY.

   A.  There are not enough FILES or BUFFERS allocated in the CONFIG.SYS 
       file. Add the statement "FILES=20" and "BUFFERS=20" to the 
       CONFIG.SYS file or modify the existing "FILES" and "BUFFERS" 
       statements.


Q.  THE GAME WILL NOT LET ME SAVE MY GAME AND GIVES ME A MESSAGE, 
    "PERMISSION DENIED"

A.  If you get this message, you are probably trying to save the game
    to a write-protected disk or your CD-ROM drive. If it is a floppy
    disk you are saving to, check the write-protect tab on the disk;
    a 5 1/4" disk should have a notch cut out on the right hand side and
    a 3 1/2" disk should have a small square on the right hand side that
    has been closed so you cannot see through it. You cannot save to
    your Dracula Unleashed CD, you will have to select another drive.
     

Q.  I'VE DONE EVERYTHING SUGGESTED, AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK.

A.  Check the Appendix B and Appendix C in the back of the Dracula 
    Unleashed user manual for more information. If you are still having 
    difficulties, please contact technical support for any additional 
    information on possible Dracula Unleashed disc updates or problem
