- October 1996
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- 1. As with any software product installation, you should close ALL other
- applications prior to running Setup.
-
- 2. If you experience difficulty with the installation and you do not use the
- standard Windows desktop/Program Manager we suggest that you disable your
- third-party desktop manager before attempting the installation again.
-
-
- Windows 95
- ----------
-
- 1. CreataCard Internet Edition was designed as a full screen product. The
- Windows 95 taskbar will not be visible while running CreataCard Internet
- Edition. It can be accessed by pressing Ctrl-Esc.
-
- 2. CreataCard Internet Edition will not automatically adjust to video
- resolution changes. Exit CreataCard Internet Edition and restart it when
- changing your display settings.
-
- 3. Long file names are not supported in the setup program. To install to a
- path that includes a long filename, use the "~". For example, if you want
- to install to c:\Program Files, you would have to type "c:\progra~1".
-
-
- CreataCard Online
- -----------------
-
- CreataCard Internet Edition will automatically launch your default Internet
- web browser and go to the CreataCard Online web site when you click on
- CreataCard Online. Your default Internet web browser is defined as whatever
- application has associated itself with the .HTM file extension. However, some
- web browsers do not associate themselves with .HTM files, and thus cannot be
- launched automatically by CreataCard Internet Edition. If you are using one
- of these web browsers, you can still access CreataCard Online by running your
- browser and going to the http://www.creatacard.com website.
-
-
- Personal Delivery
- -----------------
-
- Personal Delivery enables you to order a card from American Greetings and have
- them print and mail or e-mail a card for you! This feature requires a modem
- to transmit your order to American Greetings. There is plenty of help
- available within CreataCard Internet Edition and in the CreataCard Internet
- Edition User's Guide. However, should you experience any trouble transmitting
- your order, there are a few additional settings that you can make to your
- CACARD.INI file to customize your modem settings. The following settings can
- be added to the [Comm Settings] section of the CACARD.INI file:
-
- Baud Rate=
- In general, if you are experiencing errors while transmitting your
- order, try lowering the baud rate. There are four baud rates that may
- be set from within the application. You can choose any other valid
- baud rate, from 10 to 115200, by changing this setting directly.
-
- ModemInit=
- This specifies a custom modem initialization string. This setting is
- not configurable from within the application. If this setting does
- not exist in CACARD.INI (the default), the application will use the
- default generic internal modem initialization sequence of ATQ0E0V1S0=0
- and then AT&D2. You can configure any modem initialization command
- for your modem here. Use \r to represent a carriage return (one will
- not be added automatically) and use ~ to represent a 1/2 second pause.
- CreataCard Internet Edition requires that your modem respond with
- verbal result codes, so ATQ0V1\r is the minimum required
- initialization string. See your modem's user's manual for information
- on modem initialization strings specific to your modem.
-
- Handshake=
- This specifies the handshaking or flow control mode to use.
- Handshake=N (the default) means no flow control, Handshake=H means use
- RTS/CTS flow control, and Handshake=X means use XON/XOFF flow control.
-
-
- Back Page Art
- -------------
-
- Back Page Art is the logo or insignia that you might see on the back of your
- favorite card. We have included a selection of Back Page Art that you can
- personalize to add that finishing touch. Whenever you edit back page art, the
- changes that you make are saved.
-
- If, at any time, you would like to return to the default back page art that
- was supplied with CreataCard Internet Edition, simply delete the file
- backpage.csf. This file is located wherever you installed CreataCard Internet
- Edition, in the DATA subdirectory.
-
-
- Other Stuff
- -----------
-
- The development team at Micrografx hope that you have as much fun with
- CreataCard Internet Edition as we had creating it for you!
