Peter‘s Adventures CDs: System Freeze (3/94)

This article describes a problem with Peter's Adventures CDs with Virtual Memory (VM) running on a LC II. The system freezes.

On an LCII with 4 MB RAM running System 7.0, with Virtual Memory is active
(4 MB real memory and VM set to 8 MB). When Peter's Alphabet Adventure is launched, the system locks or freezes when the first QuickTime element is played (at the first musical note).

This does not occur on the same Mac LCII running with VM turned off.

This occurs for Peter's Alphabet, Peter's Magic, and Peter's Number Adventures (versions that do not include the Sound Manager 3.0 fix).

There is no known workaround other than to turn VM off. In general, MultiMedia CDs should not be used in conjunction with VM since this will severely degrade the performance.
