ZoneAlarm). <ul> <li>See the Uthernet network card section for details.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> AppleWin doesn't startup. <ul> <li>It could be being blocked by your anti-virus software. There is a known problem with Constant Guard Protection Suite. <ul> <li>From your anti-virus software, unblock AppleWin to allow it to run.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> When using a non-US (or UK) keyboard, certain keys can't be typed. <ul> <li>AltGr (or right Alt) needs to be used to type certain keys, eg: <ul> <li>'@' is AltGr+2 (for a Canadian-French keyboard).</li> <li>'[' is AltGr+� (for an Italian keyboard).</li> </ul> </li> <li>Some games or productivity software have an action based on the Open Apple (Alt) or Solid Apple (AltGr) keys, eg: <ul> <li>Lode Runner uses CTRL+@ to increase the lives.</li> <li>AppleLogo // and AppleWorks 5.1 have problems when using an Italian keyboard.</li> </ul> </li> <li>This dual function for AltGr (to both type a key and emulate Solid Apple) can cause problems such that the key (eg. '@') can never be typed.</li> <li>The workaround is to use the `-no-hook-alt` command line switch and configure Joystick 1 = "Keyboard (numpad)"; and then use the '0' and '.' keys for Open/Solid Apple.</li> </ul> No Apple II speaker sound, but Mockingboard sound is working! <ul> <li>Check the Volume Control for the Speaker, under the <a href="cfg-sound.html">Configuration->Sound tab</a>.</li> <li>Try installing the Realtek-specific audio driver supplied by ASUS (as opposed to the default Win10 driver).</li> </ul> Color (RGB Card/Monitor) and title compatibility issues: <ul> <li>Dragon Wars: double hi-res bit7 needs inverting, so use the -rgb-card-invert-bit7 command line switch.</li> <li>Renegade: switches to 160x192 mode at the title screen and then B&W (at the title screen) after game play.</li> <li>Apple's AppleColor card or Video7's RGB-SL7 card: corruption for titles/demos that accidentally switch to foreground/background hi-res mode, eg. French Touch DIGIDREAM demo.</li> </ul> Can't switch to 2x windowed mode: <ul> <li>If the resolution isn't high enough to support 2x windowed mode, then AppleWin will refuse to switch.</li> <li>For different versions of Windows this is slightly different:</li> <ul> <li>Windows 7 requires: 1181 x 808</li> <li>Windows 10 (1909) requires: 1181 x 818</li> </ul> </ul> Can't set bookmark 0 in the debugger / CTRL+SHIFT+0 not working: <img style="FLOAT: right;" src="img/Change Key Sequence.png" alt="Configuration settings" hspace="5" vspace="5"> <ul> <li>From Control Panel...".</li> <ul> <li>Windows 7: Change keyboards or other input methods -> 'Keyboards and Languages' tab -> Change Keyboards -> 'Advanced Key Settings' -> Change Key Sequence...</li> <li>Windows 10: Typing -> Advanced Keyboard Settings -> Input language hot keys -> Change Key Sequence...</li> </ul> <li>Finally set "Switch Keyboard Layout" to "Not Assigned".</li> </ul> </body> </html>
