Q&A
Q: The game says that I have less than 200MB of Virtual
Memory free.
How do I fix this so that Winthorp's
Mansion runs best?
A: Select Control Panel, then System, then
Performance, then Virtual
Memory. It is best to change this setting
so that Windows manages
virtual memory.
Q: The models are all white, without any textures on him.
Sometimes other
characters turn all white.
A: Most likely you have a card based on a
Rage chipset, which has
problems with DirectX 6 and beyond causing
this kind of problem.
Check for the latest drivers.
Q: My computer crashes when trying to run WM.
A: You must have Direct X 6 or 7 and download
the latest drivers for your hardware. (Included on the CD)
Q: Sometimes when I start a level, I move forward
automatically with out using controls.
A: Save game and reload. Check Virtual
Memory.
