During the installation of Woodruff and the Schnibble, a Sierra message
popped up telling me that the game *required* 256 colors and 640x480
resolution. I finished the install, then found out that on my computer the
display options were limited to 16 or 32 bit color and 800x600 or 1024-768
resolution. A very nice person in the 24hoursupport.helpdesk newsgroup sent
me a little program, QuickRes2, not unlike the power toy for earlier
versions of Windows. Now I am able to adjust the display to accommodate the
game BUT am getting a Divide-by-Zero error message.
I have set the Compatibility Mode to reflect these requirements and have
tried it in W98 and W95 emulation. Still get the overflow message and am
bounced back to the desktop.
I have a Compaq Presario 5106, 1.2 GHz AMD. All drivers are up to date. Is
there any hope? I have my grandchildren coming for a visit and really wanted
this ready for a rainy day. Thanks.
