- WELCOME TO THE SEATTLE VOLUME 4 PC PICTUREBOX SCREENSAVER
- OFFBEAT SEATTLE
- BY INTELLECT SYSTEMS(tm)
-
- To print this file, select the File Print command in Notepad.
-
- HOW TO START THE SCREENSAVER:
- Your screen saver program has been copied into the
- Windows(tm) Desktop of the Control Panel. However, it has
- not been activated. Activating your screen saver is easy,
- and requires three steps as follows:
-
- I. Load the Control Panel
- II. Run the Desktop option
- III. Select the "Offbeat Seattle" screen saver
-
- =========================================================
- I. Load the Control Panel
-
- The Control Panel is generally found in the MAIN group of
- your Program Manager. Execute the Control Panel by double
- clicking the Control Panel icon.
-
- If you cannot find the MAIN group or the Control Panel
- icon, you can run the control panel from the File Manager
- by double clicking CONTROL.EXE in your main Windows
- directory (usually called WINDOWS). You can also run the
- control panel by pulling down the "File" menu item in the
- Program Manager and selecting the "Run" command. Enter
- CONTROL.EXE in the run dialog box.
-
- =========================================================
- II. Run the Desktop option
-
- After you have started the control panel, you will see a
- series of icons. One of these icons will be labeled
- "Desktop". To run the Desktop option of the control panel,
- double click the Desktop icon in the Control Panel.
-
- =========================================================
- III. Select the "Offbeat Seattle" screen saver
-
- When you start the Desktop option of the control panel, a
- dialog box will appear. Look in the middle of the dialog
- box for the 'Screen Saver' options. Next to the "Name:"
- option, you will see a down arrow. Click on this arrow
- with your mouse to see the list of screen savers on your
- computer. Select "Offbeat Seattle" from the list. You
- can also select from the list by using the down arrow key.
- If you want to see the Seattle PictureBox screen saver
- right away, you can press the "Test" button. Select the
- OK button to close the dialog box and your screen saver is
- now activated.
-
- SETTING YOUR PASSWORD AND SCREEN SAVER DELAY
-
- You can set the number of minutes before the screen saver
- activates by entering a number into the "Delay" option of
- the desktop dialog box. If you select the "Setup"
- button, you can select a password that must be used before
- the screen saver will stop and pass control back to your
- windows programs. This security feature will prevent
- other people from using your computer while your screen
- saver is activated. You can also set if the screen saver
- can be deactivated by moving the mouse.
-
- REMOVING THE PASSWORD SECURITY DIALOG BOX
-
- If you are using the password feature, a dialog box will
- appear if you press a key or move the mouse. The buttons
- will appear in different colors depending on the colors
- used in the pictures being displayed. If someone tries to
- use your computer while you are away, the dialog box will
- remain on the screen to inform you that someone has tried
- to use your computer. To remove the password screen, you
- need to press the key combination of ESCAPE TAB TAB SPACE.
-
- SETTING THE VIDEO MODE
-
- It is recommended that Windows be running in a 640 x 480
- in 256 color mode. If the screen saver does not display
- the pictures in the proper colors, you will need to
- change the video mode by running the Windows setup
- program. You can do this in DOS by switching to your
- Windows directory and entering the command "SETUP" or you
- can click on the SETUP icon in the MAIN program group in
- Windows. In order to view the pictures as full screen,
- the video mode needs to be set to 640 x 480 in 256 color
- mode. If you do not see such a video mode listed, you
- will not be able to view the pictures properly. You can
- also use a higher resolution video mode, but your
- pictures will not fill the screen. Check with the
- manufacturer of your video card.

-
- CUSTOMIZING THE SCREEN SAVER
-
- If you would like to change the sequence of the pictures or
- the transition effects, you can also use the images in this
- package with other popular screen savers like Microsoft
- Scenes and Second Nature screen saver products. Install the
- screen saver normally, then you can use the image files that
- end with a .JPG extension in the installation directory.
- Follow the directions that come with the other screen saver
- programs to add the .JPG images.
-
- USING THE IMAGES IN OTHER PROGRAMS
-
- You can use shareware programs such as Paint Shop Pro to
- convert the JPEG image files to a picture format that is
- compatible with your other applications. The .BMP format is
- common for Windows applications. Once you have created a
- .BMP file, you can edit it with Paintbrush and use the image
- as a wallpaper. You may use the images in this package for
- your own personal use. You may not distribute or use the
- images for any commercial (for sale) purpose.
-
- UNINSTALLING THE SCREEN SAVER
-
- If you wish to remove the screen saver from your hard disk, you
- will need to delete the contents of the screen saver directory
- (usually C:\SEAPICT4). You will also need to delete the files
- SEAP8119.INI, SEAP8119.SCR, and PGX.INI from your C:\WINDOWS
- directory. You can also run UNINSTAL.BAT from the original
- installation disks.
