Common questions and answers:

Q: Locking up going into Windows or being sent back to the Dos prompt when 
   typing, 'win.'
A: The following settings should be changed in the System.ini

     1.  Edit the system.ini (either through windows or in the DOS editor)
     2.  Find the [Sndsys.drv] section
     3.  Change the Interrupt to something other than 7 (5,9,10,11,12)
           If there is no network card in the system, 10 is the best choice.
     4.  Change the line that says:
           OldMSDosGameCompatibility=1 to =0
     5.  Save the changes and reboot

Q: I have already started to re-install and get stuck during installation.
A: Follow the directions above.  Until you make these changes, you will not 
   be able to complete the install.  Also, make sure the the Windows 
   directory is in the Path statement in the Autoexec.bat.  Don't be too 
   quick to re-install. Many problems can be taken care of with simple edits 
   rather than complete installations.

Q: Error messages in DOS or when entering Windows
A: Below are the most common, tested settings for a Zeos Pentium.

     BIOS:  

       1. Set the LPT1 setting under Integrated Peripherals back to 'Auto.'  
          For the settings below, it is not necessary to disable the Parallel 
          port interrupt.

       2. Make sure that Audio Port or Audio Device is set to 'disabled'

     TZACDOS.INI (this file will be in the c:\tropez\dosapps directory 
                  after installation)

          [MAD16]
          MIDI=DISABLED
          MIDI_IRQ=5
          MIDI_PORT=330

          [SBPRO]
          PORT=220
          IRQ=10              *or 10 if network card is not installed.
          DRQ=1

          [WSS]
          PORT=530
          IRQ=10*             *unless network card is installed. 11 can be 
                               used if no SCSI chip.
          PDRQ=1
          CDRQ=0

     System.ini

        [sndsys.drv]
        IOAddress=530
        Interrupt=10         *unless network card is installed...other 
                              choices: 5 or 11
        DMAADC=1
        DMADAC=1
        DUPLEX=Half
        OldMSDosGameCompatibility=0

        [tropmidi.drv]
        PortAddr=330
        IrqNum=5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Computer locks when trying to execute the 'tzmode' line in the config.sys.
A: This is probably due to a video IRQ conflict in the TZACDOS.INI file. 'F5' 
   past the config.sys and autoexec.bat file and edit the TZACDOS.INI file. 
   Check the following settings:

     1.  Make sure that MIDI=DISABLED, then make sure that the line below 
         that says MIDI_IRQ is set to something OTHER than 9.  Setting this 
         to 5 will allow the computer to boot properly.  Also, make sure that 
         the IRQ in the [WSS] section is not at 9.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Error message, "CS4231 not present," after executing the MCMODE.EXE line.
A: The incorrect install software may being loaded for the card.  Contact the 
   vendor who you purchased the system from or Turtle Beach for the correct 
   drivers.  The Tropez install is available on the FTP, BBS, and website.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Partial or no sound in DOS games.
A: Make sure that if it is a S.B. compatible game, that the Tropez is in the 
   S.B. mode by typing:
       tzmode -s
   The card will stay in S.B. mode until it is changed to WSS mode by typing:
       tzmode -w
   Sometimes it is necessary to "refresh" the driver between games.  This can 
   be done by running the tzmode line before entering a new game.

   Also, change the S.B. interrupt to 10 instead of 7.  This will avoid any 
   sharing conflicts with the Parallel port. Also change the "Set Blaster" 
   line in the Autoexec.bat to match the change (i7 to i10)

   Other Considerations:

     For games in Dos that have support for General Midi, you have to make 
     sure that the synth. on the Tropez is enabled before entering the game.  
     Put the following line in your autoexec.bat or simply run it at the dos 
     prompt

       c:\tropez\dosapps\setupsnd /a330 /i5 c:\tropez\dosapps\oswf.mot

     In the game itself, choose port 330 and irq 5 for the General Midi 
     settings.

Q: Error code 266 when trying to play an audio CD through TBCD or the Sierra 
   Audio Rack.
A: Two possibilities:
     1.  Make sure that the [MCI] CD-Audio driver is loaded in drivers in the 
         Control Panel.  If it is not on the list, click on the 'add' button 
         and choose it from the list.  You will be prompted to insert one of
         your original Windows disks.  The driver will then be loaded and you 
         will be able to play an audio CD.

     2.  This same error will occur when trying to access TBCD or Sierra 
         without an audio CD in the CD-ROM drive.
