You’re Drew Blanc, but you wish you weren’t.
You used to be a wildly creative animator who dreamed of shaking up the sleepy world of Saturday morning cartoons. But tha-tha-tha-that’s all behind you now, folks.
Ten years of working on the sickly sweet Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show has left your self-esteem full of cavities and sent your imagination into insulin shock. Your life is slipping away frame by frame. You’re defeated, pathetic. A cowering, craven shadow of your former self. A husk. And there’s more degradation in store.
Your cheesy, creatively impotent, boss Sam Schmaltz, just ordered you to create a whole new show featuring...more bunnies.
“No,” you say. “I won’t. I have my dignity, and if I have to draw one more cute, cuddly, caring and sharing bunny I’ll puke pink putrescence!”
But what you really say is, “Sure, boss. Anything you say, boss.”
Back to the drawing board. But there’s nothing to draw on, and we don’t mean paper. You’re creatively blocked. Clueless. Dead from the neck up. So you do what any burned-out, under-appreciated employee would do. You fall asleep.
When you come to, a storm is brewing outside and the Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show is on TV. At 4:00 a.m.??? What’s that bunny doing? Why, she’s dancing, giggling. That rabbit is mocking your very existence! Suddenly, in a freak accident (that’s gamespeak for let’s not get bogged down by transportation details), you’re sucked into a toon world of your own creations.
3
It’s here where you find out if you’ve got strength of character or weakness of knees. Guts or hives.
And, if you’re up to it, fight a whacked-out war between good and evil.
But, of course, on a coloured monitor, nothing is really so black and white. See for yourself.

He once dreamed of shaking up cartoons. Now he’s just shaking in his boots.
While that may sound too depressing to some, an experienced gamer knows that the true Drew will prevail. A Drew recharged, restored, redeemed.

Flux is a twitchy, twisted, sarcastic purple...thingy.
Is it any wonder Drew had trouble selling the networks on his favourite cartoon creature?
As Drew’s lovable, laughable sidekick, Flux tells it like it is, isn’t and would never occur to be.
Although he lets every personal insult and indignity roll off his back, he’d lay down his life for Drew.

After you have installed the game for the first time and warned your housemates to “keep out or you’ll...you’ll...well, just keep out!” the Title Screen will appear with the following options for you to select: (P.S. The Title Screen will appear every time you run the game).

As odd as it may seem, selecting this option will magically transport you to the Load a Saved Game Screen.

Launch yourself straight into the whacked-out world we like to call Toonstruck by selecting Start a New Game at the Title Screen.
To get you acclimated to your new surroundings, you will be treated to a short featurette known as the intro sequence.
This is where you’ll get to meet Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show animator Drew Blanc, see where he works, see his boss Sam Schmaltz give him an impossible deadline to draw up a whole new line-up of cloying bunnies, and see him get zapped into a cartoon world of his own insane creations. From here, Drew meets up with his favourite character, Flux, and the monarch of Cutopia, King Hugh.
Movie sequences like the intro will pop up periodically throughout the game. These short animated sequences are a great source of clues and information about your surroundings and other characters. When you are viewing a movie sequence, you do not direct the action.
After the intro sequence has played, Drew and Flux will be seen entering the scene from the Throne room (back centre upstairs). As soon as this happens, you’ll see the Throne room door open slightly and King Hugh’s yellow hand zoom out and place a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the outside of the door. The hand will then retract back behind the door, which closes quickly.
Here’s where you come in, as Drew, and begin your interactive adventure through Toonstruck.

Cursor Controls
The cursor is your best friend in Toonstruck. Learn its ways and treat it right and you’ll avoid a mountain of mayhem (or it can guide you right into a lot of trouble, if that’s what you’re looking for!)
Depending on what the cursor is pointing at and which mouse button you press, you can use the cursor to:
Walk To Look At Pick Up Use Talk To Exit Scene
When the cursor is a diagonal arrow pointer:
Left or right click to move Drew to that point in the scene.
6
When the cursor is a pointing hand (over exits, paths, doors, etc.):
Left click to walk towards exit and leave scene, right click to leave scene immediately (when possible).
When the cursor is a magnifying glass:
Right click to get a description of whatever the cursor is over. Left click does the same thing.
When the cursor is an opening and closing hand:
Left click to “use”, & right click to get a description of whatever the cursor is over.
When the cursor is chattering teeth:
Left click to talk to, & right click to get a description of the character the cursor is over.
When the cursor is a ‘picking up’ hand:
Left click to pick up & right click to get a description of whatever the cursor is over. (The cursor turns into the object which is picked up.)
Looking At Objects
In your travels throughout Toonstruck, you’ll encounter beaucoup d’objects—in other words, a whole world full o’ useful stuff. If you come across an object with which you can interact, you will see its name appear on the sentence line (the text subtitle at the bottom of the screen).
To get a more in-depth description of an object in which you’re interested, use the mouse to move the cursor over the object, and then single-click the right mouse button.
Using objects
Once you have picked up an object, you can “use” it by moving it over another object or person in the current scene and clicking on the left mouse button.
You will hear a silly noise if the object cannot be used over that area of the scene.
Alternatively, move the cursor over the inventory bag (see below) and left click to place the object in your inventory.
Shortcut: while the cursor is an object, right click at any time to instantly place object in inventory bag.
7
Storing objects
When you begin your adventures in Toonstruck, you will be given a “bottomless”, blue bag to carry all the important knickknacks and whatnot you pick up. In the bottom left of the screen, you will see the small, blue bag (don’t worry, it’s bigger than it looks). Left or right click on the bag to bring up a close-up of its contents.
This close-up serves as the inventory screen where useful objects may be stored for future use.
Right click to closely examine an object in the inventory.
Left click on a object to pick it up, the cursor will become that object.
Left or right click again (when over an empy slot) to return the object to the bag.
With or without an object, move the cursor away from any of the slots and left or right click to exit the inventory screen and return to the game.
Combining objects
Some objects can be combined with other objects to create a third, different object.
Combining objects is done by clicking one object (when the cursor is that object) over an object in the inventory screen.
If the objects can be combined, you will see a different object appear in the inventory.
If no combination is possible, you will hear a silly noise.
Flux Wildly
Flux is the purple guy following you around in the game (see more on him in the character section).
At some points during your adventure, you will be able to direct Flux’s actions to help Drew out in a particular situation — in other words, you can get him to do the dirty work!
And that’s a good thing, because being a cartoon character, Flux is able to do things that would wipe out a non-
8
invincible human being-type such as yourself. (Some of Flux’s stunts include falling from great heights or getting into places Drew can’t reach.)
Left click on Flux to turn the cursor into a Flux icon.
In some locations, you can left click the Flux icon over a given area or object to “use” Flux with that area or object.
You will hear a silly noise if nothing useful can be done with Flux over that part of the scene.
Left click the Flux icon on top of Flux or right click anywhere to return to the normal cursor.
Click right on Flux (when not holding an object) to get a description of your purple friend.
TTaallkkiinngg ttoo SSttrraannggeerrss
Forget what your mother said. You’ll need to talk to a lot o’ weirdoes if you intend to unravel the mysteries of Toonstruck.
Almost all of the weird and wonderful characters that Drew and Flux meet will have something to say… whether helpful, hostile, or just plain gibberish!
Sometimes you can return to a character that you have previously spoken to and get new information from them. Additional conversational topics may open up as a result of something you have learned or discovered in another area.
To talk with a character, move the cursor over them and left click when you see the cursor change to a set of Chattering Teeth.
Note: If the cursor does not change to the Chattering Teeth, then you cannot converse with that character.
After an exchange of greetings, an Ice Cube and a Hand icon will appear at the bottom of the screen.
You control the flow of the conversation by clicking on these icons.
Click on the Ice Cube to “break the ice” with whomever you are currently conversing. This will initiate a general conversation with that character.
When the ensuing conversation ends, the Ice Cube and Hand icons will reappear at the bottom of the screen.
Notice that the Cube has melted a little. Each time you click on the Cube it will melt some more.
When the Cube is reduced to a pool of water, you have exhausted the general topics of conversation with that character.
During the conversation, you may also see other icons appear on the dialogue icon line.
These icons represent specific topics for conversation. Click on a topic icon to initiate conversation about that particular subject.
Clicking on the hand icon will end a conversation.
Shortcut: To end a conversation, left or right click anywhere other than over a conversation icon.

IF TOONSTRUCK IS YOUR FIRST ADVENTURE, WE’RE VERY SORRY. YOU PROBABLY SHOULD TRY TO GET OUT MORE. THERE’S NOT MUCH MORE WE CAN TELL YOU. HOWEVER, IF IT’S YOUR FIRST GAME ADVENTURE, OR YOU’RE FEELING AS IF YOUR PROGRESS THROUGH TOONSTRUCK IS AS SLOOOOOW AS MOLASSES IN JUNE, PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING EASY SUGGESTIONS IN MIND:
Look closely at everything: Clues are sometimes staring you right in the face, so forget your manners (like you
1.
had any to begin with): stare at everything, touch everything and familiarise yourself with all possible exits. If there is a loss of cabin pressure, Halloween masks will drop down.
2.
Be nosy! Go ahead! Grill everyone you come across about anything that pops into your pretty little head. Request information on every possible subject under the sun and all the objects in your possession. Broach a
previously discussed subject, if you want. (You’ll know fast enough if you’re barking up the wrong tree!) Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
3.
Save your game regularly: This game’s tricky and one way to stay ahead is to not fall behind. Save your progress...however pathetic.
4.
Keep notes: This game is humungous, spanning several wild locales and countless personalities (and personality disorders.) Be sure to note crucial information and clues for later reference.
5.
Use the cursor to search: Move the cursor over objects that may be of significance to search for “hot spots” with which you can interact later.
6.
And....Remember to floss.

HELLO! THE FOLLOWING FEW PAGES CONTAIN A STEP-BY-STEP PLAYTHROUGH OF THE FIRST COUPLE OF SCENES. DON’T READ THIS IF YOU LIKE TO BE SURPRISED (OR IF YOU GET NECKACHES FROM STANDING ON YOUR HEAD!)
King Hugh’s Engineer
From the Palace Hallway (the opening location in the adventure) walk Drew and Flux down the stairs and through the door to the right of the screen (Drew and Flux will pass a Cabinet on their way there).
Move the cursor over the door and press the left button.
Drew and Flux are now in the Laboratory.
They will be greeted by a flustered, funny-looking bird wearing a lab coat.
Apparently, the poor bird has misplaced his glasses.
As Drew will discover later, this is in fact Bricabrac, King Hugh’s engineer.
Attempt to talk to Bricabrac.
To talk, move the cursor over Bricabrac, left click when you see the chattering teeth.
Unfortunately, Bricabrac has no time to chit-chat—finding his glasses is a tippy-top priority!
Bricabrac will not brief Drew and Flux on their mission until he finds his glasses. Leave the Laboratory and head back into the Palace Hallway.
Drew needs a Mission!
Try leaving the palace by exiting down the stairs to the south.
You will discover that Drew won’t leave the palace until he knows what his mission is.
So you must first help Bricabrac find his glasses before being able to leave King Hugh’s palace.
14
The Footman
Walk Drew and Flux up the stairs and through the doorway to the left of the screen Drew and Flux are now in the Trophy Room.
There is an odd, foot-shaped character polishing King Hugh’s trophies.
As Drew and Flux will discover, this is the palace Footman... and a pretty sad pun!
Talk to the Footman and ask him about Bricabrac.
Having attracted the Footman’s attention, an Ice Cube and a Hand icon will appear at the bottom of the screen.
You control the flow of the conversation by clicking on icons.
Click on the Ice Cube to “break the ice” with the Footman.
When the ensuing conversation ends, the Ice Cube and Hand icons will reappear at the bottom of the screen.
Click on Bricabrac when his face appears as a conversation topic.
The Footman informs Drew that Bricabrac is forever “losing” his glasses in his inside pocket.
End the conversation with the Footman.
Click on the hand icon to end the conversation.
Shortcut: Click over anywhere other than on a conversation icon to end the conversation.
Back to the Lab
Head back to the Palace Hallway.
Go back down the stairs and return to the Laboratory.
Shortcut: Once you have left the Trophy room and are back in the Palace Hallway, move the cursor over the lab door and right click to warp immediately to the Laboratory.
Talk to Bricabrac again.
This time Drew suggests that Bricabrac should look inside his pocket for his glasses.
Bricabrac looks inside his pocket and finds his glasses and puts them on.
Drew and Flux introduce themselves and Bricabrac briefs them on their tippy-top secret mission.
15
During this discussion, Bricabrac will hand Drew a Blueprint for the Malevolator and a Bottomless Bag in which to keep all the objects he collects during his mission.
Notice that, as Bricabrac hands over the Bottomless Bag to Drew, an icon of the Bag appears in the bottom left corner of the screen.
By left clicking on the Bag icon, you can look inside the bag to check its contents.
At the moment, the only thing in the bag is the Blueprint that Bricabrac handed to Drew.
Once Bricabrac has finished briefing Drew and Flux, leave the Laboratory.
A Locked Door
Walk Drew and Flux across the Hallway to the door on the left (directly below the Trophy Room).
Try to open the door.
Move the cursor over the door, it will change to a Grabbing Hand—left click to try “opening” the door.
Drew discovers that the door is locked.
Head down the stairs at the bottom of the screen.
The Palace Guards
Drew and Flux are now outside King Hugh’s palace.
Talk to the palace guards.
They perform their little “hello” dance for Drew and Flux.
The Guard on the left, Sparky, drops a Key.
At the end of their dance, Sparky notices the key on the ground and picks it up.
16
Talk to the guards again, this time left click on the Smiling Guard conversation icon.
The guards will perform their terribly cute dance again...try not to hurl!
Sparky will also drop his key again.
This time, before the dance finishes, pick up the Key from the steps and put it in your bag.
Move the cursor over the key, the cursor changes into a Picking Up hand.
Left click to pick up the key.
Move the Key icon over the bag and left click.
Shortcut: Right click anywhere and the key will automatically be put into the bag.
King Hugh’s Bedroom
Go back inside the Palace and try the Key on the locked door to the left of the screen.
Click on the bag to bring up the close-up screen showing the bag’s contents.
Right click on the Key to get a description of it.
Then left click on the Key to pick it up.
Move the Key icon away from the slot (its place in the bag) and left or right click.
This will return you to the Hallway scene. The cursor should still be the Key icon — Drew is “holding” the key.
17
Move the Key over the locked door and left click.
The key fits—Drew unlocks and opens the door.
You are now in King Hugh’s bedroom.
There is a Music Box on a dresser to the right of the scene.
Pick up the Music box.
Move the cursor over the Music Box—the cursor will change into a “picking up” hand.
Left click to pick up the box.
The cursor should now look like the Music Box—Drew is “holding” the box.
Use the right click shortcut to quickly store the Music Box in Drew’s Bag.
18
Flux Wildly to the Rescue
Look around the bedroom some more.
There is a small Ladder leading up to the King’s Bed. If Drew “looks” at the ladder (right click over the Ladder) he will discover that it is unlikely that the ladder would take his weight. Perhaps it could take Flux’s weight.
Ask Flux to search King Hugh’s bed.
Left click on Flux to change the cursor into a Flux icon.
Move the Flux cursor over the ladder and left click to ask Flux to climb the ladder and search the bed.
Flux will climb up the ladder and look under the pillow.
There Flux finds a piece of paper.
When Flux comes down from the ladder, he hands the paper to Drew The paper appears to be some kind of Voucher from a Costume Shop.
The cursor should now look like the Voucher—right click to put it away in your bag.
19
The Dresser Drawers Puzzle
Go back over to the dresser.
There is a Note to the right of the mirror.
Move the cursor over the Note until it changes into a magnifying glass.
Right click to “look at” the Note.
Drew will read the Note out loud.
Move the cursor down over the dresser Drawers.
The cursor should change to a Grabbing Hand animation.
Left click to “use” the Drawers—this will bring up a close-up of them.
Notice that the cursor changes whenever you move it over any of the Drawer Handles.
Try left clicking when the cursor is over a closed drawer handle, notice the drawer opens.
Try left clicking when the cursor is over an open drawer handle, notice the drawer closes.
You may also have noticed that other drawers open and/or close at the same time as the one you are directly controlling.
20
Exit from the close-up of the Drawers.
Move the cursor to the edge of the screen and left or right click.
Take another look at the Note by the mirror.
Perhaps this has something to do with the drawers...

This section provides trouble-shooting techniques to get Toonstruck running and achieve optimum game performance. Please also refer to the readme.txt file for last minute trouble-shooting tips discovered just prior to release.
Configuration
If you need to alter the configuration settings installation, run SETUP.EXE from your Toonstruck directory.
It is possible to manually configure many of the settings within Toonstruck in order to overcome a problem. Before trying any of these, please read the Problems & Solutions section below. The use of these switches should not be necessary if the install program was followed correctly.
Command Line Switches (override TOONSTRK.CFG):
Usage: TOONSTRK [options]
-h Help
-? Help
-u Disable UniVBE
-v Install UniVBE using existing VESA 2.0 Drivers
-w Do not sync to monitor refresh
-6 Force 6-bit DAC palette data
-p Do not program the palette (colours)
Most of the configuration information is obtained from the TOONSTRK.CFG file. You may change video modes by setting the Width and Height fields within this file using a text editor. Supported resolution are: 640x400 640x480 320x200.
UniVBE
UniVBE is a generic video BIOS extender compatible with VESA 2.0. It enables quick, linear access to your video card’s memory. For Toonstruck to run optimally, either UniVBE has to be installed correctly or you have to be using a VESA 2.0 video driver supplied by the manufacturer of your video card. UniVBE is constantly being revised and upgraded as more and more video cards become available. If you have problems installing UniVBE, your video card may not be supported by the version of UniVBE shipped with Toonstruck. For more information look in the SciTech software web site WWW.SCITECHSOFT.COM. To obtain a compatible VESA 2.0 driver contact the manufacturer of your video card. File System - CD-ROM. If you do run under a Windows® 95 DOS box, be sure to disable the Screen Saver option under the Misc tab of the DOS box Properties dialog.
Windows® 95
To attain optimum performance from Toonstruck, we recommend running from MS-DOS mode. If you have an 8 MB system you may find that Toonstruck will not run under a DOS box. If you are experiencing low sound volume, or no sound, make sure the volume control slider, accessible from the taskbar, is turned up. If you have trouble installing the sound card, make sure the auto-detection settings in the install program are the same as the Windows® 95 settings or simply run from MS-DOS mode. The Windows® 95 sound settings are found in the Sound card properties section under the Device Manager tab in the System icon of the Control Panel. If you are experiencing poor CD performance make sure the settings are correct for your CD-ROM drive. These settings appear under Control Panel - System ­Performance -
21
PPrroobblleemmss && SSoolluuttiioonnss
The install program will not enter the configure sound section or displays an Out of Memory error.
There may be a conflict between the DOS extender used in Toonstruck and EMM386. Try removing, or remarking out, EMM386 from the file CONFIG.SYS and rebooting your machine.
The install program did not auto-detect the sound card correctly.
Try manually selecting your sound card settings, if you know them, from within the installation program by running SETUP.EXE. Select Configure Sound then Select Digital and enter your sound card specifics. If you still cannot hear sound, you may need to disable sound altogether for Toonstruck to run. Select No Digital Device from the Select Digital menu.
No sound is heard when Test is selected in the installation program.
See above.
The machine locks-up after displaying the UVBELib banner.
There is a conflict between UniVBE and one or more programs running on your system. Try disabling UniVBE by typing TOONSTRK -U unless you have one of the specific components mentioned next. If you have Windows for Workgroups on your system the program EMM386.EXE could be causing the conflict. You should try removing, or remarking out, EMM386 from the file CONFIG.SYS and rebooting your machine.
The screen goes blank and sound is not heard or stops playing.
The video setup is causing a conflict with your system. Try disabling UniVBE by typing TOONSTRK -U. If this does not work, try disabling the video card from trying to sync to the monitor by typing TOONSTRK -W or failing that, type TOONSTRK -U -W.
The screen goes blank and sound continues.
The palette (colours) are not being programmed properly into your video card. UniVBE may have detected your video cards DAC incorrectly. Try selecting a generic DAC by typing UVCONFIG -d7 then running the demo. Failing that, try disabling UniVBE altogether by typing TOONSTRK-U.
The palette (colours) are displayed incorrectly.
See above.
The palette (colours) appears too dark.
You may have a 6-bit DAC video card that requires specific palette data. Try forcing to a 6-bit palette by typing TOONSTRK -6. The sound stutters or ‘click’ and ‘pop’ distortion can be heard.
You may need to alter the rate at which sound gets streamed to your sound card or you may need to select mono sound rather than stereo. The value ‘TimerRate’ in the file TOONSTRK. CFG sets the rate at which sound gets streamed. The higher the value the clearer the sound but the slower the game will run overall. The average setting for mono is 60 and for stereo 120. Your machine may need a higher rate so adjust it accordingly. If you are running in stereo mode with a rate of 150 or more and the sound still breaks up, alter the ‘Stereo = 1’ entry to ‘Stereo = 0’ and confirm ‘TimerRate = 60’ to select mono.
An error message appears saying Toonstruck may play slow or flicker.
The optimal video configuration could not be set up on your machine. Toonstruck requires a 1 MB video card to run optimally. If you have a 1 MB video card and you still get this error message, there is a possibility that UniVBE did not detect your video card correctly. This may be because your video card is too new to be supported by the version of UVCONFIG.EXE shipped with this demo. See the section on UniVBE for more details.
An error message appears saying Could not configure linear access.
The optimal video configuration could not be set up on your machine. Toonstruck requires either UniVBE correctly installed or VESA 2.0 driver support from your video card manufacturer. See the section on UniVBE or contact your video card manufacturer for details on obtaining a VESA 2.0 driver for your specific video card.
An error message appears saying Out of memory.
You do not have enough memory to play Toonstruck, memory is being used by other software or your memory is configured incorrectly. Toonstruck requires a minimum of 6 MB free. If you are running from a Windows® 95 DOS box, restart in MS-DOS Mode if you have an 8 MB system, or, if you have more, try altering the memory allocation in the DOS session properties box by setting the DPMI section under the Memory tab to 8192. If your system is running using the memory manager EMM386.EXE try adding the switch /NOEMS to the command line in CONFIG.SYS. If your system is using another memory manager, such as QEMM, try disabling the expanded memory option using the memory managers setup utility. Failing this try removing, or remarking out, references to EMM386 or QEMM in the file config.sys.
The movies sometimes become jerky.
On some machines (mostly 486’s) you may see a drop in resolution or frame-rate while watching some of the movie sequences (flicks). If you see this, don’t panic, it is simply because the game is trying to keep picture and sound in sync so that you can enjoy the acting, musical score and animation in Toonstruck at its best.

Epilepsy Warning
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain light patterns on backgrounds on a television screen or while playing computer games may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce undetected epileptic symptoms in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your doctor prior to playing. If you experience any of the following symptoms while playing a computer game: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions, immediately discontinue use and consult your doctor before resuming play.
ADDITIONAL TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Before calling technical support for help, first verify that your computer configuration matches or surpasses the product requirements listed on the product packaging.
CREATING A BOOT DISK
If you do not have enough memory, or if you are running into inexplicable lock-ups or getting an EMM386 error #12, try using a boot disk.
Getting Started
Before making a boot disk, you will need the following:
• A blank disk for your A: drive.
• The current contents of your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. An easy way to get this information is to go to a C:\> prompt and type EDIT CONFIG.SYS . Click on File then Print. Once its contents have been printed, click on File then Exit and do the same for your AUTOEXEC.BAT file by typing EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT . (If you do not have a printer, you can also copy these files down by hand. It is not necessary to copy the whole file. Continue reading to determine which lines you will need.)
To make the disk a “boot disk,” insert it into drive A and type FORMATA:/S. This formats a system (i.e., bootable) disk. When it asks for the volume label, just press <enter>.
The CONFIG.SYS File
You will now need to create a new CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEX EC.BAT file for your boot disk. Let’s start with the CONFIG.SYS. Go to your A:\> prompt by typing A: and pressing <enter>, and then type EDIT CONFIG.SYS .
Here is a sample of what the final CONFIG.SYS should look like: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS DEVICEHIGH=YOUR CD-ROM DRIVE R DEVICEHIGH=YOUR SOUND DRIVER DOS=HIGH,UMB BUFFERS=40,0 FILES=40
Type each line as it appears above. For the CD-ROM driver, you will need to get this information from your current CONFIG.SYS file. It is the line containing “/D:MSCD001” or similar. Some example driver names are “DD260.SYS”, “MTMCDAE.SYS”, and “TSLCDR.SYS”. Keep all of the parameters after the “xxx.SYS” the same. Before the “=” sign, you should only have the DEVICEHIGH statement. (If this is a “/L:1,xxx”, do not include it.)
If your sound card requires a driver, such as the ProAudio Spectrum’s MVSOUND.SYS, you will need to include that as well. Again, copy all of the parameters after the driver’s name, but make sure that the line begins with just “DEVICEHIGH=C:\...” If you use DoubleSpace, you will need to add the following line: DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE If you use any other disk compression software, you will need to consult your manual for what lines you need to include.
23
Save this file by clicking on File then Save... Now exit by clicking on File then Exit.
The AUTOEXEC.BAT File
The next step is to create a new AUTOEXEC.BAT file. At the A:\> prompt, type EDIT AUTOEXEC.BATand enter the following lines:
PROMPT$P$G SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T3 (Additional sound card information) SET PATH=C:\DOS;C:\ LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:20
The “SET BLASTER” line should match the one in your current AUTOEXEC.BAT file; do not change the settings. (However, do make sure that this statement is capitalised.) Some sound cards, such as the SoundBlaster 16, have additional lines. You should include every line for your sound card in your new AUTOEXEC.BAT.
The line for your mouse driver may vary, and you should copy this line from your current AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The line should consist only of “LH” followed by a space, followed by the path and name of the mouse driver. If, for example, you have a line that currently reads: LH+/L:1,25343 C:\MSMOUSE\MOUSE you will need to add the following line to your new AUTOEXEC.BAT: LHC:\MSMOUSE\MOUSE
The line for MSCDEX will also vary by system. Make sure that the path matches the one in your current AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For example, it might be located at “C:\CDROM\DRV\MSCDEX.EXE”. You should only include two parameters: “/M:20” and “/D:xxx”. The /D: statement should match the one in your CONFIG.SYS file.
Once you have finished your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, save it by clicking on File then Save.... Now exit by clicking on File then Exit.
Your boot disk is now complete. Keep it in your A: drive, and reboot your computer. Your computer should now boot with the new configuration.
