TOPIC


    I have a PowerBook computer with the PowerBook Mobility Bundle, which includes the game, Spin Doctor v1.2. I tried to use that game on my Macintosh Performa 5215, but I notice that when I turn the sound all the way down using the "-" key, I can no longer use the sound. I should be able to turn the sound back up using the "+" key, but this does not work. I have tried quitting the application and relaunching the game, but I still do not hear sound. How do I correct this problem?


DISCUSSION


    Callisto Corporation (the developer of Spin Doctor) states that this is a known issue with the native version of Spin Doctor (v1.2) on the Power Macintosh and Performa 5200, 5300, 6200, 6300 series computers*. However, this problem does NOT occur with the Spin Doctor Challenger game that is included with the Macintosh Performa 630 and 6100 series computers. To correct this problem, follow these steps:

    Step 1
    ------
    Delete the Spin Doctor Settings preference file. You can find it at the following path:

    System Folder -> Preferences -> Spin Doctor Settings


    Step 2
    ------
    Select the preferred sound level from the Sound control panel before relaunching Spin Doctor.


    Spin Doctor will now match the settings on the Sound control panel.
