WARNING:This information is preliminary and has not been confirmed or tested by Microsoft. 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
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:
- Copy the file QCMC.QTC from the HHOUSE folder on the Haunted House CD
to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder on the hard drive.
- 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. - 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- Click Start.
- Click Shut Down, and click Restart In Ms-Dos
Mode.
For Windows 3.1- From the File Manager, click File and click Exit
Windows.
- Type CD\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and press
ENTER.
- From the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM> prompt, type the following commands:
NOTE: It is important to rename the QuickTime version 2.0 files
instead of deleting them, because they may need to be renamed back to
be used with other applications using QuickTime version 2.0.
REN QCMC.QTC QCMC.QT2 press ENTER
REN QTHNDLR.DLL QTHNDLR.QT2 press ENTER
REN QTIM.DLL QTIM.QT2 press ENTER
REN QTIMCMGR.DLL QTIMCMGR.QT2 Press ENTER
- Place the Haunted House CD in the CD-ROM drive.
- Type the following commands:
(Where D: is the correct drive letter for your CD-ROM drive)
COPY D:\HHOUSE\QCMC.QTC press ENTER
COPY D:\HHOUSE\QTHNDLR.DLL press ENTER
COPY D:\HHOUSE\QTIM.DLL press ENTER
COPY D:\HHOUSE\QTIMCMGR.DLL Press ENTER
- Restart Windows.
- Start The Ultimate Haunted House and play the movies and the
television clips.
STEPS TO RENAME THE FILES BACK
Exit Windows to a DOS prompt.
Windows 95- Click Start.
- Click Shut Down, and click Restart In Ms-Dos
Mode.
For Windows 3.1- From the File Manager, click File and click Exit
Windows.
