SYMPTOMS
When you use the Vacuum Tool in Fine Artist, and you have installed
the MediaVision Pro Audio Spectrum Sound Card, the computer may stop
responding (hang). (For similar behavior in Creative Writer, see the More
Information section.)
RESOLUTION
Contact Media Vision for an updated driver:
Media Vision, Inc. (510) 770-9905
If you are using a Pro Audio Spectrum driver, but are unsure about which
version you are using, see your Windows printed documentation or online
Help for information about how to determine your driver in Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
The Vacuum Tool uses a cyclic sound, rather than a short sound,
which, when used in conjunction with the Pro Audio Spectrum Sound
Card and some versions of the Pro Audio sound driver, can cause the
computer to hang.
NOTE: If you experience this problem when using Creative Writer with a Sound Blaster 16 card, change the HDMA setting to DMA. You can do this by
using the SB Configuration icon found in the Sound Blaster 16 program
group. When you run this icon, it displays the DMA and HDMA settings.
Change the HDMA setting to DMA.
