General Troubleshooting Info
At Chicken Systems we pride ourselves for the personal support we can give,
because we believe the only important problem to you is your own problem.
The Common Problems section answers the most
commonly asked questions posed to us. If you read this, it is highly likely
it will solve your issue.
However, if you need to call or e-mail for support, we do ask of you some
requirements.
- Please describe the problem specifically (what screens come up, what do
they say verbatim, any repeatable steps we can describe so
we can duplicate the error here). If you say, "it doesn't work",
we are sorry, that just is not enough for us to go on. It is vital
that we can replicate the error. We need to know what is the difference
in your computer that is causing the conflict.
- It is VERY HELPFUL to send us a DOS Counterpart (best if
possible) or a TestMode file(s). These files are compressed to a very small
size, so you can attach it in an e-mail message to us. These are very helpful
in determining what the problem is. See Sending Files
for instructions how to do this.
- Tell us which Version and Build of the program you are using, what platform
(which Windows version, or Mac version).
- If the program "crashes", please be specific - does the computer
freeze, or do you get an error dialog? What does the dialog say?
