TROUBLESHOOTING GODDESS

GODDESS STOPS PLAYING AND ANOTHER SCREENSAVER STARTS PLAYING:
  Be sure to disable any other Windows screensavers before you use
  GODDESS.

FILE ERROR: CANNOT FIND AAPLAY.DLL
  GODDESS requires the files AAPLAY.DLL and AAVGA.DLL to be present 
  in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory to run properly.  If these files 
  have been removed from this archive or diskette, you may be able to find 
  them on a local BBS.  They are also in the ASOFT forum on Compuserve.

SCRIPT FILE ERROR:  AALOAD COULD NOT LOAD THE SCRIPT FILE
  Use a text editor (Notepad) to examine the currently selected script.
  Verify the paths for each line in the script file are correct, and 
  the animations exist in the specified directory.

CORRUPTED DISPLAY or WON'T DISPLAY ANIMATIONS PROPERLY.
  Try changing the Int2f setting.  Restart GODDESS to enable new 
  setting.

ANIMATION IS NOT PLAYING FULL SCREEN
  Make sure that AAVGA.DLL is in the C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  Also
  use the script editor to verify the Use Full Screen setting for the 
  animation is enabled.

ANIMATION IS JERKY
  The FLI animations should play smoothly on a 386-33 or better machine
  with 2 MB free RAM.  If the hard drive is being accessed (drive light
  will flicker) while the animation is playing, use the script editor to 
  enable the Load Into Memory setting for that animation.  If only one 
  animation is present in the script, and you want looping, use the 
  script editor to change the Duration setting for that animation to 
  Forever, instead of using a looping script.

MIDI WARNING DIALOG APPEARS BUT NO CURSOR IS PRESENT
  This annoying problem occurs when Windows detects a non-standard header
  on the MIDI file being accessed by your script.  Unfortunately, GODDESS
  has hidden the cursor at this point, making it nearly impossible to 
  select the little checkbox that will disable the warning.  Fear not, the 
  solution is at hand.  Hold down the <Alt> key and press <F4>.  A dotted 
  line will appear around the checkbox and its associated text.  Now press 
  the spacebar.  An "X" will appear in the little checkbox.  Press enter 
  and the warning will be gone the next time you start GODDESS.  Should 
  you wish to reenable the warning:  Open the file c:\windows\system.ini in 
  any text editor (like Notepad).  Find the section beginning with:
  [mciseq.drv]  
  Find the line:  disablewarning=true  
  Change it to read:  disablewarning=false
  Save the file and exit.  The warning will now reappear.

SCREEN GOES BLANK AND/OR SYSTEM LOCKS UP WHEN GODDESS IS RUN
  If you have already tried changing the Int2f setting, your hardware may
  be incompatible with the animation player routines in AAPLAY.DLL.  You 
  won't be able to use GODDESS to play the animation, but there are 
  other FLI animation players available.  Check around on local BBS's for 
  AAPLAY.EXE or QUICKFLI.EXE, two great freeware DOS animation players.
  You can also probably find a player by checking on Compuserve, AOL, or
  other online information services.
