Troubleshooting
(Mac OS 9.x only)
If BOOM crashes
at startup or during game, please try the following things:
- Make sure you installed the latest available version of the Sound Manager,
currently 3.4. In general, you should upgrade to the latest available version
of the Classic Mac OS, currently 9.2.2.
- Turn off virtual memory or RamDoubler.
- Try starting up your machine with the system extensions disabled (hold
the shift key down while turning on the computer). If you feel that you have
installed a system extension that is causing trouble, try disabling all the
non-Mac OS extensions and then enabling them one at a time to find out the
conflicting one (use Apple's Extensions Manager or an equivalent utility,
like Symbionts, Conflict Catcher or NOW Startup Manager).
- Finally, try zapping the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down command-option-p-r
at startup (or use an utility like TechTool).
If you still
can't get BOOM to run properly, please contact me (see "Contact
info").
