-
- ==========================================================
- 2. INSTALLATION
- ==========================================================
-
- CDfactory requires QuickTime for Windows 2.0 to
- operate. This is included on the disc. In File Manager
- open the CD go into "QT INSTALL" folder, and double click
- on SETUP.EXE and follow instructions on the screen. Allow
- installer to remove old and duplicate versions from your
- hard drive of Quicktime.
-
- NOTE: BE SURE YOU ARCHIVE ANY OLDER VERSIONS OF QUICKTIME
- BEFORE RUNNING SETUP.EXE--IT WILL DELETE ANY OLDER
- VERSIONS OF QUICKTIME CURRENTLY INSTALLED.
- ==========================================================
- 3. QUICKTIME FOR WINDOWS
- ==========================================================
-
- NOTE: CDfactory may not operate properly if another
- (older) version of QuickTime is installed on your drive.
- For best results, remove other versions that you may have
- and use Version 2.0 supplied.
-
- If you are experiencing trouble with the operation of
- CDfactory, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this
- README document for further help.
-
- =============================================================
- 4. RUNNING CDfactory
- =============================================================
-
- Very Important: Be sure that your monitor is set to
- 640x480, 256-color mode. CDfactory will not operate in a
- reliable fashion in other resolutions.
-
- Use File Manager to double-click on the name of the
- run-time player for the demo you want to see.
-
- ===========================================================
- 6. TROUBLE SHOOTING
- ===========================================================
-
- POOR PERFORMANCE:
- 1) If you get a message stating that "the projector's
- name" has used all of Windows' available memory or if
- sounds are dropping out and Quicktime movies are
- skipping, follow these steps.

-
- To change the size of your swap file:
-
- A. In the Main group, choose the Control Panel icon.
- B. In the Control Panel window, choose the 386 Enhanced
- icon.
- C. In the 386 Enhanced dialog box, choose the Virtual
- Memory button. The Virtual Memory dialog box appears.
- D. Choose the Change button.
- The Virtual Memory dialog box expands.
- E. From the Drive list, select the drive where you want
- the swap file to be located. for example, if you have
- a second hard disk drive that has more space, you could
- select its drive letter. Usually you will use drive C:
- F. From the Type list, select the type of swap file you
- want to use. The easiest is a temporary swap file.
- G. In the New Size box, icrease the size in kilobytes
- of the swap file. Do not allocate more than the
- recommended maximun size.
- H. Choose the OK button.
- After you make changes in the Virtual Memory dialog box
- and choose the OK button, a dialog box appears telling
- you to restart Windows so that your changes will take
- effect.
- I. Choose the Restart button. Do not press CRTL+ALT+DEL.
- For help with the Virtual Memory dialog box, choose
- the Help button or press F1 while using the dialog box.
- J. For more information on swap files refer to your
- Windows manual

- 2) Programs running in the background will greatly hurt
- performance. Quit all other programs when running
- CDfactory, including network software.
-
- 3) If you have a single-speed CD-ROM drive, expect some
- delays as compared
- to a double-speed system.
-
- 4) Screen Savers: If a screen saver kicks in during use of
- CDfactory, the program will operate unreliably
- (some images may be obscured and it may crash.)
- Screen savers may kick in after their allotted period
- of inactivity even if movies and animations have been
- playing on the screen during this period. It's best
- to turn off screen savers temporarily.
-
- 5) If you're prone to hyper-clicking: You won't need it
- in this program. If something on the screen is not
- responding to your mouse click, clicking 50 more times
- won't help. Hammering your mouse button will only kill
- off that mouse early and might crash CDfactory.
-
- 6) Make sure that Quicktime 2.0 is installed.
-
- ENJOY!
