I want to run The Digital
Field Trip to The Wetlands on a machine without a sound card.
You will have to edit the file "Wetlands.ini" on your
hard drive. Open it using the notepad, and change the line:
;RequireSound=yes or no
to
RequireSound=no
When I run The Wetlands, I get the message, "Please
select Wetlands.ini."
The application wants to know where the original media is. You need to
select the "wetlands.ini" file on the CD, in the WETLANDS
directory.
I keep getting the message, "QuickTime
is required to run this application."
You must install the 16-bit version of QuickTime (QT16.EXE in the
QUIKTIME directory) for The Digital Field Trip to The Wetlands to work
properly. It is important that the 16-bit version be used, even on systems
capable of running the 32-bit QuickTime.
When I go to the field trip section
of the CD, the application quits.
Your computer is having trouble with the QuickTimeVR portion of the field
trip. If you are using Windows 95 and the creation date of the QTVR.QTC
file in The Wetlands directory is August 15, 1996, download the latest QTVRW.QTC file
and replace the existing one on your computer.
The movies and Field Trip VR
don't display correctly when I run The Wetlands in Windows 95.
To correct this problem, open the Windows 95 Control Panels from the "Settings" option
of the "Start" menu. Open "QuickTime" and click on
the "More" button at the bottom of the window. Select the "Video" tab
and change the Draw Method to "Bitmap."
The Wetlands crashes when I try to
launch it
This is caused by the video acceleration used by the video card. There
are three possible solutions to this problem:
The program runs fine, but the text isn't
formatting properly.
The fonts Helvetica or Times may be corrupted or not installed on your
computer. Both are required for the proper running of The Digital Field
Trip to The Wetlands. To fix the problem, simply re-install the fonts from
your original system disk.
The program appears in a box
surrounded by black
The Digital Field Trip to The Wetlands was designed to run at a screen
resolution of 640 x 480. To use the program full screen, you may need to
change the screen resolution. This can be done with the "Displays"
settings in your system's 'Control Panels".
