I just bought Music Studio 3.0 from Radio Shack for my vanila XT clone (not
a Tandy computer).

I'm having a couple problems getting it to work:

1) It will not recognize my Joystick. When I use F10 - Setup and select the
   mouse options, the Joystick option is dim and not selectable! It will not
   let me select the Joystick option.
   I suspect that Tandy computers use a different method for talking to a
   Joystick than normal XT clones. Hence the software doesn't see that I do
   indeed have a Joystick port and a Joystick. I don't have a mouse.

2) When I press "F1 - Help", I get a window that pops up and says that it
   cannot find "DMHELP.ACC". This file was no where on ANY of the distribution
   disks that I received!

3) For printing, there doesn't seem to be a selection for EPSON printers.

4) When I select "IBM GRAPHIC" (in printer setup) it says that it cannot load
   the driver. I know that the "DM??IBM.RRS" file exists and is indeed in the
   proper directory.


Any help would be very appreciated.

If you have a non-Tandy version of Music Studio 3.0, please contact me!

Thanks,

car.
