Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer Release Notes 5-Nov-97 Software and Hardware Requirements The Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer requires Windows 3.1 or later (or Windows for Workgroups) running in enhanced mode or Windows 95 or NT. It will run with virtually any display, but for the best results, you should configure your display for 256 or more colors. Installation To install the Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer from a floppy disk, bring up Windows and run the file INSTALL.EXE on the disk. This will copy the appropriate files to your disk and create a program group for Slide Show Viewer. Uninstallation To uninstall the Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer, simply delete the Viewer directory and all the files in it. The installer makes no changes to your system files. Running the Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer -- Quick Start To run the viewer, simply double-click its icon. To load a slide show for viewing click the menu icon in the upper left corner of the screen and select "Load Slide Show ...". Then select the name of the slide show you wish to view and click OK. The viewer will then load the slide show and display an overview of the images it contains. To view an image full-screen, just click on it. To play all the images in sequence, select "Auto Play" from the menu. For more detailed instructions, press the F1 key to bring up the slide show viewer help file. Installation of DLL files -- Possible DLL conflicts To avoid conflicts with other programs, the installation program normally installs its DLL files in the Viewer directory you specify. These DLL files contain software packages supplied by other vendors. Because of the way Windows searches for DLLs, if there is an earlier, obsolete version of one of the DLLs located in your Windows or Windows System directories, these obsolete versions will override the ones in the Viewer directory. The files in question are the following: XQUERYW.DLL Pegasus Imagaging Corp. JPEG decompression library JEWIN.DLL If versions of any of these files exist in your WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories, you have several choices: 1) You can move the versions of these files from your Viewer directory to your Windows directory. This ensures that all your applications are using the latest version of the DLLs, but it may cause problems with other applications which happen to use the same DLLs, but for one reason or another do not work properly with the latest version. 2) You can move the obsolete DLLs to the directories of the applications that require them. This is the safest technique. Be careful when installing new applications. Some installation programs do not properly check version numbers - if they copy DLLs to your WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories, they can potentially overwrite newer versions of the same DLLs.
