WW and a
Sound Blaster 16 with a Wave Blaster
The problem that you are having is due
to a hardware error on the Wave Blaster card. Creative Labs did come
out with a patch that will correct this problem, and it is available
on there web page. The file name is WAVEPTCH.ZIP. This TSR should
solve the problem.

WW and Lockups or Memory errors
The problem that you are having with
Wacky Wheels is caused by not having enough available memory when
running the game. Wacky Wheels requires two megabytes of memory
available in order to run. As DOS itself takes up memory, Wacky Wheels
requires a machine with more than two megabytes of memory.
If you do have more than two megabytes
of memory available, then you are loading up TSRs and device drivers
that are taking up memory that the game needs in order to run
properly. To run the game, you will need to boot your computer in a
special manner.
If you have MS-DOS version 6.0 or
greater and you do not have a Sound Blaster compatible sound card,
reboot your computer, and as soon as it says "Starting
MS-DOS", hit the F5 key on your keyboard. This will bypass your
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files and place you directly at the dos
prompt.
If you have MS-DOS version 6.0 and you
have a Sound Blaster compatible sound card, reboot your computer, and
as soon as it says "Starting MS-DOS", hit the F8 key on your
keyboard. This will step through your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
files and ask you whether to load each statement. The only lines that
you will want to answer "Yes" to is "Process
AUTOEXEC.BAT?", and the SET BLASTER statement. Answer no to every
thing else.
Wacky CD without the manual
Due to the problems with lost manuals
in the past, we have opted to make a card copy of the Wacky Manual on
the CD-ROM. You can get to it via Windows or dos.
In windows open up the cd-rom. And
double click on the file called Manual.
In dos you will need to switch to your
CD-ROM Drive and type in Manual.
C:/> d: <Enter>
D:/> manual <Enter>
This will bring you to the full color
manual that is on the CD-ROM.
