SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP2818 PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: MC.ZIP TITLE: Fix MS-DOS Shortcut for Magic Carpet (Finland) VERSION: N/A LANGUAGE: Finnish (Finland) CATEGORY: Software Solutions/Desktop PRODUCTS AFFECTED: Compaq Presario 4760, 4788 OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows 95 (OSR2.0) SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: Finland image (246) of Windows 95 EFFECTIVE DATE: 29 Jan 1997 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SUPERSEDES: N/A DESCRIPTION: Creates a diskette containing an update to fix the problem of starting Magic Carpet using the Magic Carpet icon from the Start menu (KäynnistÄ- valikko/Viihde/Magic Carpet/Magic Carpet), from My Computer, or from a shortcut. Magic Carpet is a DOS-based game. Its original properties are set for "MS-DOS mode," which forces the computer to shutdown and restart in MS-DOS mode when the Magic Carpet icon is selected and the user responds "Yes" to the warning displayed about closing all other programs. The system shuts down Windows 95 but is unable to start Magic Carpet in MS-DOS mode and restarts Windows 95. This patch solves the problem by allowing Magic Carpet to run in a DOS window within Windows 95. It changes the program's properties to "Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary." HOW TO USE: 1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is SP2818.EXE. 3. From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file: SP2818 [ENTER] You will be prompted to place the formatted 1.44-MB diskette into a diskette drive to create the diskette. 4.
