                          TROUBLESHOOTING MatchMe

ALL THE COLORS KEEP CHANGING AND ARE EXTREMELY WEIRD:
  This happens because the BMP images supplied with MatchMe each use a
  different 256 color palette.  To fix this you can do one of the following:
  1. Change your number of desktop colors to at least 32K. (recommended)
  2. Substitute BMP's that all use the same palette.
  3. Substitute BMP's that use a 16 color palette.

FILE ERROR: CANNOT FIND AAPLAY.DLL
  MatchMe 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.

FILE ERROR:  Error loading animation file:  <filename>
  The animation load routine was unable to locate the animation or script
  file, or there was an error in the script file.  Use a text editor 
  (Notepad) to verify the file path and name in the matchme.ini file are OK.
  If the file is a script, use the text editor to verify each line in the 
  script file contains a valid path and file name.

CORRUPTED DISPLAY or WON'T DISPLAY ANIMATIONS PROPERLY.
  Try changing the Int 2f setting.  You may also need to restart Windows.

SCREEN GOES BLANK AND/OR SYSTEM LOCKS UP WHEN MatchMe PLAYS ANIMATION
  If you have already tried changing the Int 2f setting, your hardware may
  be incompatible with the animation player routines in AAPLAY.DLL.  Cirrus
  Logic and S3 chipset video cards (Diamond Stealth) appear to work fine
  with the AAPLAY routines.  If you aren't going to change video cards soon,
  and still want to play the animation, 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.

ANIMATION IS NOT PLAYING FULL SCREEN
  Make sure that AAVGA.DLL is in the C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  Sometimes
  changing the Int 2f setting helps.  If not, your video card or drivers may 
  be incompatible with the animation player routines in AAVGA.DLL.  Win95 
  users may need to disable any desktop "Navigator" type programs to get full 
  screen animation.  

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, MatchMe
  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 MatchMe.  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 entry:  disablewarning=true  
  and change it to read:   disablewarning=false
  Save the file and exit.  The warning will now reappear.
