- =============================================================
-
- Thank you for buying "SuperModels In The RainForest" Enhanced CD/CD-ROM
-
- Some brief play instructions: Enjoy SuperModels in stereo. Please notice
- that the cursor will look different when over different parts of the screen.
- The cursor will become a hand, indicating active buttons. When pictures or
- movies are playing, placing the cursor over the view screen will change the
- cursor to a "+", indicating that you may click on that view screen and zoom
- to full screen. Clicking again ("-" displayed), will return to normal size.
- While movies or slide shows are playing, a video control panel will appear,
- giving fast forward, rewind, stop, play and record options. The record
- button (the cursor becomes a circle inside a circle) allows you to take
- a snapshot of the movie frame being displayed. NOTE: DUE TO PC AUDIO
- ANOMALIES, YOU MAY NOT HEAR THE SNAPSHOT SOUND IF MOVIE AUDIO IS ALREADY
- PLAYING, HOWEVER, YOU ARE STILL TAKING SNAPSHOTS! These snapshots are
- collected in the photo album. Inside the photo album section, you can
- edit your snapshots, save them to your internal hard drive for later
- viewing, or load your friend's favorite snapshots. While watching a
- movie, you can use the fast forward and rewind buttons to find your
- favorite photo, and for greater control, you can use the left arrow,
- right arrow keys on the keyboard. Pressing the "Return/Enter" key
- on your keyboard will bypass the intro section and go directly to the
- main departure screen. To quit, click on "Leave Paradise" from the
- main departure screen, then view the credits or click on the credits
- to exit. Also, Control "Q" or Control "." keystrokes on your keyboard
- will exit program. Before running "SuperModels In The RainForest", you
- must install QuickTime for Windows version 2.0.3 which is located on this
- disk.
-
- The "SuperModels In The RainForest" installation program (INSTALL.EXE) will
- install QuickTime for Windows v2.0.3 as well as create a "SuperModels"
- program group and icon in your program manager.
-
- To install QuickTime 2.0.3 and the "SuperModels" program group and
- icon in your program manager:
-
- 1) Enter Windows.
-
- 2) Open your File Manager.
-
- 3) Select the CD-ROM drive and double click on INSTALL.EXE.
- (this installs QuickTime 2.0.3 and program group installer)
-
- 4) Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.
-
- The QuickTime 2.0.3 installation will make changes to your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that QuickTime will be available every
- time you start your computer. QuickTime 2.0.3 should not affect
- the operation of any of your other software.
-
- To run "SuperModels," double-click on the "SuperModels" icon in the
- "SuperModels" program group window or double-click on "SuperMod.EXE"
- from the root of the CD-ROM.

- IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTES:
-
- Please make sure that you are not running any other software
- when using "SuperModels" as this may cause decreased performance.
- If Double Cache is available on your computer, make sure it is off.
-
- If performance of the CD-ROM seems slow, you may want to enable
- Virtual Memory using the 386 Enhanced Control Panel available from
- the Main program group in the Program Manager. If you choose to
- enable Virtual Memory, we suggest that you use the Permanent Type
- setting for best performance.
-
- If you experience strange display or audio problems we suggest that
- you contact the manufacturer of your video or audio card and obtain
- the latest drivers for your particular card.
-
- "SuperModels" uses the latest in computer software technology and
- requires current, state-of-the-art software drivers to run properly.
-
- Also, make sure that your video driver is set to display at
- 640x480 resolution in 256 colors. Other display drivers settings may
- impact the successful use of "SuperModels."
-
- You can improve performance by enabling the faster speed settings on
- your double-, triple-, or quad-speed CD-ROM drive.
-
- Also, experiment with running your video card in 65,000
- colors (16 bit) or millions of colors (24 bit).

- Pre-Installation Notes
-

- to free additional hard disk space.
-
- 2) Network Installation:

-
- 3) Installation Instructions:
- It is highly recommended that you exit all applications
- before installing your product. Other programs and drivers

-
- ---KNOWN ERRORS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS---
-
-
-
- Videos don't play, only a black viewing area present
- ----------------------------------------------------
- A previous version of QuickTime may present on your system. Make
- sure that you have installed QuickTime for Windows v2.0.3 from the
- CD-ROM. If the videos still will not play, it is most probable
- that your video card and/or device drivers are not compatible
- with QuickTime video. Try the following suggestions:
-
- - Try setting your system to 640X480X256 colors using
- the recommended video driver for your system. See
- your Windows Help or video card manual for instructions
- on how to accomplish this if you are not familiar
- with the process.
-
- - If you use Windows version 3.11 or Windows for
- Workgroups, you have a Microsoft SVGA video driver
- available that is often an effective replacement for
- the video driver causing problems.
-
- - Contact your video card manufacturer for an updated
- driver for your card. Many manufacturers are represented
- on CompuServe, America On-Line and various other on-line
- systems and post driver updates for customers to download
- there.
-
- For detailed information regarding QuickTime version 2.0.3, see
- the information available in the read.me installed in the Quicktime
- program group.
-
- "General Protection Faults" and "Application Errors"
- ----------------------------------------------------
- These types of errors are frequently due to video driver
- incompatibility or incompatibilities with other drivers
- in your system. One of the following suggestions might
- solve the problem:
-
- - Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements
- listed on the package.
-
- - Change the number of colors and/or resolution of
- your monitor, then start the program again. See
- notes on video problems above.
-
- - Reinstall your sound card software, then re-install the
- program.
-
- This product has been successfully tested with a wide variety of
- hardware and peripheral equipment. Microsoft Windows(tm) is a
- device-independent operating system. This product is not
- designed for compatibility with any specific hardware item in
- preference to any other. Problems with sound cards, video
- displays and printers are most often the result of problems in
- the device drivers supplied by the manufacturers.
-
-
- "Disk Full" Errors
- --------------
- If you encounter these errors while installing or using your
- product, try deleting files to increase space on your hard disk
- drive.
-
-
- "Read Errors" and long delays:
- ----------------------------
- Defective CD-ROM discs are very rare. Make sure your disc
- is clean and free of scratches and fingerprints if you are
- experiencing problems like "Can't Read from Drive" or long
- delays.
-
- GDI Read Errors and Virtual Memory:
- -----------------------------------
- If you should receive a "GDI Read Error" in Windows(tm) this
- indicates that you are experiencing a low memory condition. Try
- exiting any programs running in background. Performance will be
- improved by increasing the virtual memory setting to the
- maximum recommended size (at least 10 MB) and setting the type
- to permanent. Larger virtual memory settings can be made if
- your hard disk is defragmented first.
-
- Slow Response:
- -------------
- In addition to the above steps, we recommend that users who are
- running SMARTDRIVE from DOS versions 6.0 and later set the
- cache size for Windows(tm) at 512K bytes or smaller. In
- addition, we recommend that you use the /X switch to disable
- write-back caching, as this can interfere with smooth data
- transfer from your CD-ROM drive. We also recommend you disable
- CD-ROM caching by using the /U switch. Please see your DOS
- manual or on-line help for detailed instructions on how to do
- this (type HELP SMARTDRV at the DOS prompt).
-
- Also, we advise setting the MSCDEX "/M:" parameter to /M:20.
- This file is loaded in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and changing the value
- increases available buffering for the CD-ROM.
