- Theme Installation & Troubleshooting
-
- To install this theme:
-
- 1. Just run the "Billie Holiday Setup.exe";
-
- 2. The theme files will be moved into your theme file directory
- (hopefully c:\program files\plus!\themes); The font files will be
- installed into your fonts directory (c:\windows\fonts). If you already
- have one or all of the fonts used in this theme in your system, you'll
- be prompted to replace them during the installation process. Answer
- NOT TO REPLACE the font files, otherwise the setup will stop running.
- Windows does not permit the replacment of font files... The screensaver
- files (Billie Holiday.scr, billie1.mid, billie2.mid and imgdll.dll)
- will be installed into your windows directory. If you want to uninstall
- it, you'll have to remove all the files listed above manually.
-
- 3. Run Microsoft Plus! or any other theme file installer (such as
- Desktop Themes, by J. Porter) and select the theme file that you have
- just unzipped.
-
- ***IMPORTANT NOTES***
-
- 1. If you have a previous version of this desktop theme installed in
- your computer, you should consider unistalling it first.
-
- 2. In order to combine high quality with reasonable filesize,
- the sound files in this theme are compressed in MPEG Layer-3 format.
- If you want to use them, you'll need to install "Microsoft NetShow"
- (http://www.microsoft.com/netshow/).
-
- Note: it is apparent that the newer version of NetShow is not
- installing the MPEG Layer-3 codec to function properly for all
- applications. You MUST download the older NetShow v2.0 package.
- If you wish to apply a newer player later on, just install the newer
- version over the top of NetShow v2.0.
-
- 3. To install the logo files all you need to do is double click on the
- "Install Logos" batch file (located at c:\program files\plus!\themes\
- Billie Holiday\Logos). This Logos Installation Program was created by
- The Theme Doctor (http://www.TheThemeDoctor.com). To uninstall them,
- simply double click on the "Uninstall Logos".
-
-
- Common problems and fixes.
-
- If errors are encountered while installing the theme:
-
- 1. Make sure you used a long file name-compatible uncompression
- program like WinZip to unzip the theme;
- 2. Check that all the correct directories have been made;
- 3. If your theme file directory is not c:\program files\plus!\themes,
- you'll need to move all the files in this package manually to
- the theme file directory you use!;
- 4. Make sure that you have Microsoft Plus! or another theme file
- installer installed. The theme file will not install automatically
- as soon as you unzip it!
- 5. If you don't have MS Plus! you can download an excelent theme
- installer called "Desktop Themes" at http://www.lss.com.au/
-
- Enjoy!
