USE ONLY ** ** WITH DISCRETION. ** ********************************************************************* SYMPTOMS ======== You may receive the following error message when you try to view the movies with the film projector, or try to watch the television clips, in the Haunted House Viewing Room: Windows 95 message ------------------ Your program is making an invalid dynamic link call to a .dll file Windows 3.1 message ------------------- Call to undefined Dynalink -or- The screen will stay blank. CAUSE ===== The error message or blank screen occurs if there is a newer version of QuickTime for Windows installed on the computer. The Ultimate Haunted House uses QuickTime version 1.0 to view the movies and television clips that are seen in the viewing room. If there has been an application installed on the computer that installs version 2.0 of QuickTime, the DLL files in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder will not be compatible with the version of QuickTime Haunted House uses. RESOLUTION ========== Try these steps first. They usually resolve most of these conflicts: 1. Copy the file QCMC.QTC from the HHOUSE folder on the Haunted House CD to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder on the hard drive. 2. Rename the file to QQCMC.QTC. When you rename the file, you may receive an "access denied" error message. Make sure you've changed the file attributes from read-only to archive. For information about how to change file attributes in Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or online Help. 3. Restart Haunted House and try playing the movies or television clips. If the problem still occurs, there are certain QuickTime version 2.0 files in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder that need to be renamed and then replaced with the QuickTime version 1.0 files. Here are the steps to accomplish this: Exit Windows to a DOS prompt. Windows 95 ---------- 1. Click Start. 2. Click Shut Down, and click Restart In Ms-Dos Mode. For Windows 3.1 --------------- 1.
