| 3355.1 | I needed more than 1 meg of memory to run it. | CSC32::K_APPLEMAN | | Wed Jan 17 1990 13:47 | 13 |
| Yes, I have gotten VAUX-killer to run. One thing I needed to run it
was more than 1 meg of memory. I have 3 meg, but wanted to send a copy
to my brother who only had 1 meg, so I disabled the expansion memory
and tried to run the demo. It failed with a "can't load xxxxxx"
insufficient memory. The message wasn't exactly like that. It only
stayed on the screen for a couple of seconds so I can't remember
exactly what it was.
You might also have to move the files from the subdirectory they are in
to the top directory. Don't recall if this is necessary, but I've
found that to be the case on a couple of these demo's.

| 3355.2 | Problems with hard drive | SMURF::DCJ | | Wed Jan 17 1990 14:03 | 17 |
| I have managed to get VAUX-killer to run off of floppies, but not when
I install it on my hard disk. I think there might be some interaction
problems with VirusX (just a guess, until I manage to determine what
works reliably).
The symptoms are having the program load completely and giving me the
white screen. Pressing 'p' has no effect. Sometimes I can get the
workbench back, and sometimes the machine gurus. It does run if I
cold-boot with Kickstart 1.3 (I have an A1000), and boot with a plain
Workbench 1.3.2 without any of the hard drive startup routines.
I would really like to be able to load off the hard drive, as 11
minutes is just too long to wait for a demo. Has anyone else succeeded
in running off of a hard drive? Any suggestions?

| 3355.3 | Also only on floppies - but worth it. | UBEAUT::MANDERSON | Monday oneday, Tuesday the next | Wed Jan 17 1990 16:16 | 12 |
| Like Dave in .2 I have only got it to run off floppies. I couldn't get
the logicals and directories to work with it from my HD - it deletes
some as it gets going.
11 minutes has to be for 2 floppies - try it on a single floppy system
and it takes 'somewhat' (!)longer than that because of the heaps and
heaps of disk changes.
persevere - it's worth it - a great, amusing demo.

| 3355.4 | DOes it work with a 1MEG A500?? | GIDDAY::MORAN | I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way! | Wed Jan 17 1990 20:00 | 10 |
| With the people who have got the demo to run off floppies how much
memory have you got as I have 1 meg 500 and I cannot get the demo to
run off floppies. It comes up with some ever when it runs out of
memory.
This is a REAL shame as I would like to see the demo as everyone says
it is fairly amusing.
Shaun.

And How! I have 3 Meg and had to boot minimum. It soaked every bit of
spendable cash (RAM) I had!

| re .4
Don't worry too much. It's a neat demo but it's not THAT great in my
opinion. (I wouldn't buy an extra 2 mb just to see it).
