Erratic sound and animation can be caused by the following phenomena:
1) The CD-ROM itself may be dirty (fingerprints, dust, etc.). Clean your CD-ROM with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Be sure to wipe from the center of the CD straight out (not in a circular motion around the disk).
2) There may be applications running in the background on your Macintosh. You must quit other all applications.
3) You may have turned on File Sharing. Ensure that File Sharing is off before running Peter's Adventure.
4) You may turned on Virtual Memory. Ensure that Virtual Memory is off. If you do not have enough memory, add additional memory
5) If you are using an older and/or slower Macintosh such as an LC or LC II, Peter's Adventure may occasionally behave erratically. If you are planning on using a significant amount of CD-ROM multimedia and want optimum performance, consider upgrading.
6) If you are using an early or single speed CD player, such as an AppleCD SC, AppleCD 150, or PowerCD, Peter's Adventure may behave erratically. You may want to consider upgrading to an AppleCD 300.
7) The Sound Manager 3.0 extension may cause erratic sound with Peter's Adventure Series CD-ROM discs. The only workaround is to remove the Sound Manager 3.0 extension from the Extensions folder of your System Folder and restart your computer before running a Peter's Adventure disc.
