INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

We've set up menus to allow you to choose which games you want
to install to your hard drive.  All games have been pre-setup
to use a mouse and a Soundblaster-compatible sound card.

For MS-DOS installation:
Note:   If your CD letter is E:, type E: instead.
Type D: and press the ENTER key.
Type INSTALL and press the ENTER key.
Note: Don't type D:\INSTALL and press ENTER.

For Windows installation:
Note:	If your CD letter is E:, type E: instead.
- In Program Manager, click on FILE, then click on RUN.  Type  
  D:\SETUP  and click OK.
- In Windows 95, click START, then click on RUN.  Type  D:\SETUP  
  and click OK.

Note: QG1, QG2, and QG3 were designed as MS-DOS games.  Some 
customers may have problems running MS-DOS games from Windows.  
If this is the case, please refer the to section "RUNNING MS-DOS 
GAMES IN WINDOWS" in this README file.


GENERAL QUESTIONS

Question: Do you need the QG Anthology CD in the drive all
the time?
Answer: Not for QG1, QG2, QG3, and QG4 non-voice versions,
since these are installed to your hard drive.  You will need
the QG Anthology CD in the drive for any version of the voice
version of QG4.

Question: Do you have to install the games to your hard drive?
Answer: No, but we set up the games to install to your hard
drive anyway.  The games only require a few megabytes of hard
drive space.  Most of the QG games have never been programmed
to run directly from CD-ROM, and have not been fully tested this
way.
For Your Information: If you ran the game from the CD-ROM, the
default saved game directory would try to save to the CD-ROM
drive and display an error message "Your save game directory is
full".  If you ran the games from the CD-ROM, and you have a
Roland MT-32 or PAS-16, you couldn't pick these sound devices.
To keep things simple for everyone, the games run from the hard
drive, as they were designed.

Question: You've been saving only one saved game as you play,
and now you need to go back to an earlier point in the game, or
someone erased your only saved game.  What do you do?
Answer:  There's nothing you can do.  Each QG game allows you
to make lots of saved games in lots of different places.
Restart the game from the beginning.  If you save a game as
"Jester's Game", then want to save again after defeating the
Muckle Monster, save a new game called "Defeated the Muckle
Monster".
More Information:  Before you restart from scratch, there's
something you may want to try first.  We've included saved games
created on this QGA CD when we tested the QG Anthology to
assist Technical Support with troubleshooting problems.  Try to
restore the saved games found in the \SAVES directory on the QG
Anthology CD.  There is no guarantee that these will work
properly on your computer, but it won't hurt to try.

Question: You've been saving lots of saved games, and have run
out of room to save more games.  You don't want to delete or
overwrite the saved games you currently made, or another person
wants to play from scratch and make their own saved games.
What can you do?
Answer: Each directory can hold 20 Sierra saved games.  If you
change the saved game directory to another location, you'll be
able to save 20 more saved games. 
Example: Mom wants to play QG2.  Before she starts the game,
at the MS-DOS prompt, type the following:

C:
CD\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG2
MD MOM
CD MOM
MD 1
MD 2
MD 3

This will create a C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG2\MOM directory with
three subdirectories 1, 2, and 3.  This will let Mom save 60
saved game positions.  Now let's say Dad wants to join in the
fun.  Type the following:

C:
CD\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG2
MD DAD

This will create a C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG2\DAD directory that
will let Dad change his saved game directory from C:\SIERRA\
QGANTH\QG2 to C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG2\DAD to save his games
separate from Mom's saved games.

Question: You have a Roland MT-32 or similar device.  How do
you enable it for music in the games?
Answer: First make sure you installed the game to your hard drive.
Once the game is installed to your hard drive, do the following:
Go to the game directory on your hard drive by typing the following
commands.  In this example, you are trying to change the music for
Roland MT-32 for Quest for Glory 3 English version:
CD C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG3E
INSTALL
Use the arrow keys to highlight MUSIC, and press the ENTER key.
Select Roland MT-32, press ENTER, then highlight "ACCEPT THESE
CHOICES" and press ENTER.  Now you'll have MT-32 music support in
the game.

Problem: The game says you need more memory to run the game, but
you have 8 meg of memory installed in your computer.  Why?
For Your Information: Most of the QG games are MS-DOS based.  They
use MS-DOS type memory called "conventional" or "base" memory.  This
is the first 640K of memory installed in your computer.  if this
memory is being used by something else, like software drivers for a
mouse, a CD-ROM drive, a sound card, a scanner, or Windows, there may
not be enough free memory to run the game.  QG1 old and QG2 require
512k (out of 640k) of available conventional memory.  QG1 new and
QG3 require 580k (out of 640k) of available memory.  QG4 MS-DOS
version uses a DOS extender which may run fine as long as there's
plenty of extended memory free (but on some computers it may require
540k of base memory anyway).  QG4 Windows version uses the Windows
memory manager, so as long as Windows has enough memory and a swap
file, it should run fine.
Solution:  The fastest way to run the game is to make and use a
bootable floppy disk.  Look under the "Out of Hunk" question in this
README for more information to make a boot disk.

Problem: You have a Pro Audio Spectrum sound card.  The QG games
randomly lock up or won't start.
Solution: First make sure you installed the game to your hard drive.
Once the game is installed to your hard drive, do the following:
Go to the game directory on your hard drive by typing the following
commands.  In this example, you are changing sound card choices for
Quest for Glory 3 English version:
CD C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG3E
INSTALL
Use the arrow keys to highlight the MUSIC choice, and press the
ENTER key.  Select Pro Audio Spectrum and press ENTER. Do the same
for AUDIO (if it's a menu choice), then highlight "ACCEPT THESE
CHOICES" and press ENTER.

Question: Why is there no speech in some of the QG games?
Answer: The only QG game with speech is Quest for Glory 4 CD-ROM
voice version.  QG1, QG2, QG3, and QG4 floppy version were
never designed for speech.

Question: You log onto the Sierra BBS or an on-line service like
Compuserve or America On-line and notice patches for the QG games.
Do you need to download and use these patches?
Answer: No.  All the current patches for the QG games are already
installed on the CD-ROM.  The only patches you would need is if the
patch name or description said it was required for the QG Anthology.
Hopefully this Anthology won't need a patch :) <g> 

Problem: After running INSTALL inside a game directory on the hard
drive, a row of dots runs across the screen, then stops and locks up.
Solution: Type  INSTALL -m  and press ENTER.  If this doesn't work,
try typing INSTALL -f.  Please make sure the m or f are in lowercase.

Problem:  "Can't create output file" or "Not enough space" during
installation.
Solution:  You need to free up more hard drive space before instal-
ling the game.

Problem: We said "all games have been pre-setup to use a mouse..."
but your mouse doesn't work in QG1, 2, 3, or the DOS version of
QG4.  You see "No mouse driver was found in MS-DOS" error message
starting the games.
Solution: This means your MS-DOS mouse program was not run before
the game started.  Follow the instructions in the README to make a
boot disk.  This will automatically find and use your mouse driver
for you.
More Information: The games are set up to use a mouse if a DOS-based
mouse driver is loaded.  The confusing part is Windows will use a
mouse anyway, since has its own mouse driver that MS-DOS can't see
or use.  MS-DOS needs a mouse program to be run before it can use
the mouse.  To see if a mouse program is hidden on your hard drive,
type "DIR \MOUSE /S /P".  Let's say you see:
   Directory of C:\MSMOUSE
   MOUSE   COM
   Directory of C:\WINDOWS
   MOUSE   DRV
   MOUSE   INI
A mouse program will end in ".COM" or ".EXE", so the mouse drivers
in C:\WINDOWS in this example won't do.  To run the mouse driver in
MSMOUSE in this example, type "C:\MSMOUSE\MOUSE.COM".  You should
see a message saying your mouse is now enabled.  You can now play
the games.
 
Problem: You pick up something in QG3 or QG4, but it doesn't 
appear in your inventory.
Solution: If you have more than 18 items, you need to scroll or 
page down in inventory to see the extra objects.

Question: You keep climbing trees or throwing rocks, but your
character sheet stats always stay at "0" for CLIMBING and THROWING.
Why?
Answer: If you have "0" skill in something, you'll NEVER improve in
that skill, not matter how hard you practice.  Your character is
given a chance to acquire new skills before the game starts.  If you
didn't assign any points to Climbing or Throwing, then your hero
won't be able to climb or throw for the entire game.
More Information: You won't be able to acquire all the skills with
the limited "pool" of points at the beginning of each game.  Pick
and choose wisely, because it will affect how you complete the games.

Problem:  "This game was saved under a different interpreter" when 
restoring a saved game.
Solution #1: If you have saved games from the floppy version of the 
QG games, you may have problems using them with the QG Anthology 
games.  This is because the QG Anthology games have all the patches 
and updates installed.  Your saved games may have been created with 
the unpatched versions of QG and are therefore incompatible.
Solution #2: If you copied the {gamename}.CAT or {gamename}.DIR file 
from a friend or another computer but didn't copy the {gamename}.000, 
.001, .002, etc. files, you'll get this error message.  Make sure you 
have all the saved game files before trying to restore.

Problem: Running the games in Windows, the colors on the Sierra logo 
at the start of the game look weird, or when you Task Switch back and 
forth, the colors in the games are messed up.
Solution: You'll notice that the game itself will run fine.  The 
colors on the Sierra logo use "palette cycling".  This allows us to 
make colors sweep across the Sierra logo.  If you're running in 
Windows, the video hardware may not handle to color animation 
properly.  As for the colors not restoring when you Task Switch, 
there is no solution to this.  The games' colors are set up when the 
game starts.  When you Task Switch out of and back to the game, the 
game's palette is not restored.  Don't Task Switch in the middle of 
the game.  If you quit, then restart the game, the colors will be 
back to normal.

Problem: "Out of Hunk" error message
Solution:  If your computer is close to the minimum "free memory" to
run this game, you may experience slowdowns in some areas or receive
the error message "Out of Hunk".  If this occurs, try running the game
from a boot disk.  To check free memory, type "chkdsk" from MS-DOS.
If the "bytes free" number reported is less than 583,000, you may need
to use a boot disk.
Create a Boot Disk:  Sierra has included a boot disk maker with the QG
Anthology CD.  You can access the boot disk maker from the MS-DOS
prompt.  If your CD-ROM drive is D:, type one of the following commands
in lowercase letters:
bootdisk    and press ENTER (for QG1, QG2, and QG3)
bootdisk -p    and press ENTER (for QG4 non-voice versions)
bootdisk -c -p  and press ENTER (for QG4 voice DOS version) 
bootdisk -c -w  and press ENTER (for QG4 voice WIN version)
If you want to see all the bootdisk options, type   bootdisk /?
and press ENTER.
For Win95: View the file "BDWIN95.TXT" located on the QG Anthology 
CD for more information.

Question: Why don't the games' volume control work for PC Internal
Speaker?
Answer: The PC Internal speaker has two options: Loud and Off.
The games' volume control is for sound card control, such as
the Sound Blaster and Roland MT-32.

Note: For MS-DOS games, check if your SET BLASTER environment variable
is enabled and at the correct setting.  To check this, at the C:
prompt, type SET and press <ENTER>.  You should see a line that says
BLASTER = A220 I7 D1 (or something similar).  If you do not see such a
line and your sound card is on Address 220, IRQ 10, and DMA 1, at the
C: prompt, type SET BLASTER = A220 I10 D1 and press <ENTER>.  This
line tells MS-DOS how to access your sound card and may prevent lockups.

For Your Information: The Quest for Glory Anthology contains a list
of BBS and Tech Support Numbers for Sound Card, Video Card, and
Miscellaneous Computer Peripheral / Software Manufacturers.  To view
this file in Windows, run SETUP.EXE, select SUPPORT, click on CONTENTS,
then select CONTACT INFORMATION.  To view this file in MS-DOS, type
EDIT D:\CONTACT.TXT and press ENTER (if your CD-ROM drive is D:).


RUNNING MS-DOS GAMES IN WINDOWS
Many customers want to run our MS-DOS based games in Windows.  Some
have no problems doing this.  Others have lots of problems doing this.
Here is a list of common questions and answers we have been asked before:

- Are there Windows-specific versions of QG1, 2, and 3 ?  No.

- What kind of problems might happen?  Windows and MS-DOS might fight over
  sharing the sound card and memory, preventing the games from running,
  or making the games run very slowly.

- Why can others run the MS-DOS games fine under Windows?  Each computer
  is set up differently.  One type of sound card might share tasks differ-
  ently than another.

- What can we tell you to make the MS-DOS games run better in Windows?
  First, don't make huge changes to your system.  It's working fine now,
  and that's the way we want to leave it.

  For insufficient memory problems: If you are using Windows 95,
  you can configure each game's icon to set up the computer's memory.
  If you are using Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups, you can make a
  boot disk to boot Windows with more available memory.

  For hardware sharing problems: You could go to the hard drive directory
  where the game is installed, rerun INSTALL inside that directory and
  try ADLIB or IBM PC INTERNAL SPEAKER to try to avoid sound card conflicts.
  If you have Windows 95, you can reboot to MS-DOS mode to avoid conflicts.


GAME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS


Quest For Glory 1: So You Want To Be A Hero

Problem: You get an "Oops Error" message asking about the "Dag-Nab-It"
game in the Thieves' Guild in the original (16 color) version of the
game.
Solution: Don't ask about the rules of the game.  The rules are easy:
Try for a bull's eye and the highest score wins.

Problem: Your hero is unable to get past the Brigands' dining room in
the 256 color version.
Solution: You must free up more conventional memory.  At least 580K of
free memory is needed to get past this part of the game in the 256
color version.  Rerun INSTALL from the \SIERRA\QGANTH\GQ1NEW directory
on your hard drive and choose MAKE A BOOTABLE FLOPPY DISK.  Follow the
instructions to make a boot disk to free up more conventional memory.


Quest For Glory 2: Trial By Fire

Problem: You keep reading the message "You must lure the Fire Elemental
further into the alley" when fighting the fire elemental.
Solution: You must buy only one bag of incense.  If you buy more than
one bag, drop all but one bag before luring the fire elemental into
the alleyway.  Then, after luring the fire elemental into the
alleyway, type USE INCENSE, then DROP LAMP, then USE WATER.

Problem: The afternoon hours just drag on and on while you wait for
night to fall.
Solution: Adjust the time scale in QG2 to the fastest setting.

Question: What are "Silly Clowns" ?
Answer: Random funny stuff that won't affect gameplay.


Quest For Glory 3: Wages Of War

Problem: Your hero can't find the blue orchid.
Solution: Go to the tree and ask the Guardian about "wood".  After
this, the blue orchid will randomly appear in the jungle.

Problem: Magic users can't levitate during the Shaman duel, and fall
into the pit.
Solution: Turn the DETAIL and SKILL levels all the way down and try
again.

Problem: Magic users can't obtain the Juggling Lights spell.
Solution: Open the gift you start the game with.  It will explode in
your wizard's face.  Click the hand icon (not the eye icon) on the
gift wrapping to get the spell.

Problem: Your hero can't finish talking to Arne the Aardvark.
Solution: Click the talk icon on your hero and say "Goodbye".

Problem: Thieves can't cross the chasm.
Solution: Click the hand icon on the pillar in from of the chasm
first.

Question: Where is the Thermonuclear Attack spell?
Answer: There is no Thermonuclear Attack spell in QG3.

Question: Why does my hero see weird stuff when he's starving in the 
savanna?
Answer: He's starving.  Go feed the poor guy.

Question: When you click the eye icon on the map, you see the message
"You are looking at the 'Tarna and Vicinity' map that came with your
'Famous Explorer's Guide to East Fricana.' ".  Where is the map in
the guide?
Answer: There never was a map in the Famous Explorer's Guide.  You
won't need one anyway.

Problem: You can't use the keyboard to put the game cursor directly
on top of something.  It jumps over the thing.  The mouse works OK.

Answer: Hold down the shift key on your keyboard as you press the
arrow keys to move the pointer.  This will let the pointer move in
smaller increments.


Quest For Glory 4: Shadows Of Darkness

A NOTE ABOUT SAVE GAMES:  Games saved while playing under DOS cannot
be restored under Windows and vice versa. If you play the game for
awhile under DOS or Windows and then decide to switch to the other,
you must restart from the beginning. If you do not know which one
you prefer, we recommend playing the game under MS-DOS.

Question: Dr. Cranium is asking for formulas.  Where do you find the
formulas?
Answer: Look in the QG Anthology documentation on page 30.

Question: There is French documentation for QG4 in the \DOCO
directory on the QG Anthology CD, but there is no QG4 French game
on the CD.  Why?
Answer: The documentation was printed in French, but we never released
a French versionof QG4.  We included the French documentation on the
CD in case someone needed it.

Problem: "Error 47: Not an object: $0  Script 64997/$146" message
while trying to slide down the slimy slope near the beginning of the
game.
Solution: In the QG4 control panel, turn DETAIL all the way down
and SPEED all the way up.  If that doesn't help, walk the hero in
small increments until the computer takes over and slides the hero
down to the bottom of the path.

Problem: "Error 52: A script is being disposed and there is a cloned 
object that is still using a class in it".  Happens in the swamp while 
fighting the Chernovy.
Solution: Exit the game.  From the Quest for Glory 4 directory on your 
hard drive, run INSTALL and choose IBM PC INTERNAL SPEAKER for MUSIC 
and NO AUDIO for SPEECH.  Save these choices, restart the game, and 
restore a game before the swamp.  From the swamp, go left three screens, 
then down two screens.  Kill the monsters and get out as fast as you 
can.  If this doesn't work, restore a game saved earlier and try again.
If it still doesn't work, delete the MS-DOS version, install the 
Windows version, and play the game in Windows.  The error only happens 
in the MS-DOS version of the game.  Be aware that if you want to play 
the Windows version, you'll have the start the game over from the 
beginning, since the saved games are not compatible between DOS and 
Windows.

Problem: You can't solve the tentacles puzzle in the Breath room near
the end of the game, even after following the ritual instructions to
the letter.
Solution: Blow on the small BOTTOM tentacles, not the large UPPER
tentacles.

Problem: You can't summon Erana's staff near the end of the game to
break the crystal.  The game says "You're too busy right now".
Solution #1: In the QG4 control panel, turn DETAIL all the way down
and the SPEED all the way up.  Try again.
Solution #2: This can happen if you're running low on free memory.
Make and use a boot disk, then restore a saved game prior to the
point where you're stuck.

Problem: "DOS/4GW Professional Loader Error" message starting the
game.
Solution: You are probably running low on available memory.  Rerun
INSTALL from the \SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4WIN35 or \SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4CD
directory on your hard drive and choose MAKE A BOOTABLE FLOPPY DISK.
Follow the instructions to make a boot disk to free up more memory to
run the game.

Problem: "Error 106" when starting the game
Solution: You need to load your MS-DOS mouse driver before starting
the game.  For more information about this, please read the "GENERAL
QUESTIONS" section of this README file.

Problem: "Unable to allocate 6746358 (or some number) bytes"
Solution: You may be running in a Windows MS-DOS shell, or you are
probably running low on available memory.  Rerun INSTALL from the
\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4WIN35 or \SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4CD directory on your hard
drive and choose MAKE A BOOTABLE FLOPPY DISK.  Follow the instructions
to make a boot disk to free up more memory to run the game.

Problem: "<Messager> msgType set to 0 or 579: 13,4,67,1 not found",
then "An Internal Game error has occurred...Error number 126..
\list.cpp: 420:64999:43e" while clicking on the Leshy Bush the fourth
time you talk to the Leshy (after planting the bonsai tree in Erana's
Garden".
Solution: Don't click on the Leshy bush.  Click on each bush the Leshy
bush hides behind.

Question: What's the difference between using Arcade / Strategy modes
in combat?
Answer: Strategy mode means combat is in automatic mode.  Arcade mode
means you have to do everything.  If you click the left mouse button in
Strategy mode, you can make your hero more aggressive, use more magic,
etc.  If you right click, you can enter Arcade mode at any time.  If
you are in arcade mode, a button with an "S" appears to the right of
the combat bar at the bottom of the screen.  Clicking on this button
puts you in strategy mode.

Question: Where is the Whirlwind spell?
Answer: There is no Whirlwind spell in QG4.

Problem: Magic Users can't cast spells at the Chernovy while gliding 
in the swamp.  The iconbar's magic button is dimmed out.
Solution:  That's right.  You can't.  Your magic points are being used 
for the glide spell.  Once you stand on the ground, or those grassy 
areas in the swamp, the glide spell ends, and you'll be able to 
magically fight again.

Question: Why does a Magic User do an acrobatic flip when you try to
"Say Magic Phrase" to the magic bush clocking the way to Baba Yaga's
place?
Answer: Fighters, Thieves, and Paladins will say the magic phrase to
get in.  Magic Users will need to cast the Trigger spell to get in.

Problem: The thief's dagger throwing and acrobatic attack is not
documented in close combat arcade mode.
Solution: To throw daggers, right-click on the control panel bar at
the bottom of the QG4 screen between the "retreat" button and the
strategy mode button.  To use the acrobatic attack, left-click and
drag the thief onto the monster.  The thief's dagger throwing and
acrobatics will not work if the monster is too close or if stamina
is too low.

Problem: "Error 126" message while throwing daggers at the ghosts
in the castle hallway.
Solution: There is no need to throw daggers at the ghosts. 

Problem: "Fatal Not an Object:$0 Script 64998/$78f" message while
using the fetch spell on the ring in the Guild Hall.
Solution: You don't need to "fetch" the ring for any reason.  The
ring is used by Thieves and Fighter/Paladins for improving climbing
skills.

Problem: Thieves can't open the safe in the Thieves' Guild.
Solution: This isn't a bug.  It's a puzzle.

Problem: Your Sound Blaster compatible card is on an I/O address
other than 220.  QG4 doesn't work with it.
Solution: Look in the \SBSCI32 directory on the QG Anthology CD.
The file "dacblast.drv" is an updated SoundBlaster driver that
will recognize sound cards on I/O addresses other than 220. 

For this driver to work properly, you must have the correct SET BLASTER 
statement in your autoexec.bat file.  For more information on this 
setting, please refer to your sound card documentation.

To install this new driver, copy it to the game directory on your
hard drive.  For example:

COPY D:\SBSCI32\DACBLAST.DRV C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4E35

If this is the talking version of QG4 and you did a small install,
you will need to change the RESOURCE.CFG file.  Use a text editor
to modify the RESOURCE.CFG file in the game directory and add the
path to the new driver.  For example:

Change this:   audioDrv = DACBLAST.DRV

To This:   audioDrv = C:\SIERRA\GKCD\DACBLAST.DRV

If you did a medium or large install, all you need to do is copy the
new driver into the game directory.

Problem: There is no support for your Gravis Ultrasound card in DOS
for QG4.
Solution: We have provided Gravis Ultrasound drivers that will try
to add support our 32-bit DOS Extended game Quest for Glory 4.  Full
details can be found in the \GRAVIS directory on the QG Anthology CD.
These drivers will not work on earlier Sierra games, such as QG1,
QG2, and QG3.

From DOS, copy the contents of the QGA's \GRAVIS directory into the
game dir.  Example: COPY D:\GRAVIS\*.* C:\SIERRA\QGANTH\QG4E35
Change to the game directory on your hard drive.  MS-DOS users can
edit the RESOURCE.CFG file by using the EDIT  command.  While in the
game directory  type:  EDIT RESOURCE.CFG
Edit the RESOURCE.CFG file and change the soundDrv and audioDrv lines
to read as follows:
    
soundDrv  = GUSMIDI.DRV
audioDrv  = GUSDAC.DRV
    
SPECIAL NOTE FOR the QG CD "talking" version:  If you have installed
the game using the tiny installation, you will need to include the
full path to the sound driver files, as follows:
    
soundDrv  = C:\SIERRA\QG4CD\GUSMIDI.DRV
audioDrv  = C:\SIERRA\QG4CD\GUSDAC.DRV
    
Save the RESOURCE.CFG file.  If you are editing the file with a word
processor such as WordPerfect, be sure and save the file as an ASCII
file.
   
Before playing a game the LOADPATS.EXE program must be run with the
corresponding INI file for the game.  For example:

C:\> LOADPATS -IQG4.INI <ENTER>

The -I[filename] option lets loadpats know which set of patches 
to load into the Gravis card for the game.
   
The other .INI files on this disk are for the other Sierra 32 bit
games:

     LL6.INI         (Leisure Suit Larry 6 CD VESA version)
     QG4.INI         (Quest for Glory 4)
     PQ4.INI         (Police Quest 4)
     GK1.INI         (Gabriel Knight 1 disk and CD)

Now start the game according to the instructions in your game manual.


Information: Quest for Glory 4 supports the Logitech Cyberman mouse.  
Here are the controls:

- To jump, lift up
- To duck, push down
- To retreat, bank left
- To move forward, bank right
- To slash, swing (turn the mouse right)
- All normal mouse controls are also supported.  These are described 
  on page 41 of the Quest for Glory Anthology manual.

Question: In the CD-ROM ("talking") version of QG4, when you speak
to the three men in the inn, they don't speak the displayed text
word-for-word.
Answer: The actors playing the parts of the three townsmen did a lot
of hilarious adlibbing. and we decided it was too good not to use.
There is one part that's wrong: When Franz first introduces himself.

SETTING MONITOR BRIGHTNESS LEVEL in DOS:  On some monitors, you may
find the video brightness to be a little too dark for your tastes. If
this is not due to the brightness control setting on your monitor
being set too low, or you do not wish to change this setting, it is
possible to change the default brightness setting in the game
configuration file. To change this setting, edit the file
'RESOURCE.CFG' in the game directory using any text file editor, such
as the DOS EDIT program (just type EDIT at the DOS prompt). Go to the
line that says 'brightness = 0', change the 0 to a 1 and save the file
to the game directory.  If this is still too dark for you, try 2, 3
or even 4 for an extreme increase in brightness.

Problem: "BYTES CAN'T BE ALLOCATED" error message in MS-DOS only.
Solution: Edit the file 'RESOURCE.CFG' in the game directory using
any text file editor, such as the DOS EDIT program (just type EDIT at
the DOS prompt). At the end of the file,  add the line
'STATICMEMORY = 250K'.  The default for this setting is 200K so if
250K doesn't do the trick, increase it again.

ISSUES WITH THE AUTOSAVE FEATURE:  If the Autosave feature of the game
is causing any kind of unusual problems, we recommend that you turn off
the Autosave feature in the control panel.  Since this is a specialized
save of the game, we sometimes have encountered unusual side effects of
using this feature.


SOUND CARD CONFIGURATION AND SOUND ISSUES

MS-DOS and PAS:  If you are using a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 or Plus
card and experience problems during the game,  try running the
PAS SETUP software and try selecting a DMA setting of 5.  MediaVision
has suggested that you may experience better performance at this
setting.  If you still experience sound problems, re-run the INSTALL
utility from the game directory and select "Sound Blaster" as your
audio device.  Selecting Sound Blaster will utilize the PAS card's
built-in Sound Blaster emulation for digitized audio effects.

If you are using a Pro Audio Spectrum Plus sound card, you will want
to run the 'SB_ON' program before you start QG4. You should do this
each time you play the game to ensure that you are getting the best
possible sound.


DOS Mixer Control, especially for QG4 CD voice: The game's control
panel can adjust the volume control in the game.  If you need more
control, most sound cards' speech and music volume can be controlled
separately through software provided by the sound card
manufacturer.  Here is a list of some common sound cards' mixer volume
control commands in MS-DOS.

Sound Blaster 16:
Type C:\SB16\SB16MIX

Vibra 16 in AST Advantage: 
Type C:\VIBRA16\MIXERSET

Sound Galaxy 16 in Packard Bell: 
Type C:\SOUND16A\UTILITY\MIXTSR or type C:\SOUND144\MIXTSR

Ensoniq Soundscape:
Type:  SSINIT

Compaq Presario CDS 524, 920, etc.: 
If DEVICE=C:\CPQDOS\VOLCTRL.EXE is in CONFIG.SYS on the boot disk, then:
Press CTRL-RIGHTSHIFT to increase volume
Press CTRL-LEFTSHIFT to decrease volume

Proaudio Spectrum Family:
Type PAS * to bring up the mixer controls
Press CTRL-ALT-U to increase the master volume level
Press CTRL-ALT-D to lower the master volume level

Sound Blaster 8 bit: 
No software control. Adjust thumbwheel on card.

Thunderboard: 
No software control. Adjust thumbwheel on back of card.


TROUBLESHOOTING HELP

A collection of saved games was included on the QG Anthology CD to 
assist Technical Support in troubleshooting problems in the QG Anthology.  
These can be found for each QG game in a directory called \SAVES on the 
game CD.

Please note that when saved games are made, it saves the environment, 
memory setup, heap space, and lots of other tiny but important information.  
You may or may not be able to use the saved games provided with the CD on 
your particular computer.  However, we've successfully restored and tested 
these saved games on several computers.  If you can't use the saved games, 
you'll see the error message "This game was saved under a different 
interpreter".
