Task Force COMMANDER Free Demo Instructions:
--------------------------------------------
This Demo will run on all versions of Windows
including Windows 95.
TFCDEMIN.ZIP - is a compressed file ZIP file that
contains all necessary application program
and sample image files in order to setup
and run Task Force COMMANDER from your
Windows environment.
Note: You must have a copy of PKUNZIP.EXE
to uncompress this file. It may
be download as Freeware compliments
of PKWare Inc. if you do not already
have it.
Step 1. Create a temporary directory of your choice
and copy TFCDEMIN.ZIP into that directory.
For the purpose of these instructions lets
assume you will create a directory named MYTEMP
on your C: drive.
Step 2. Execute TFCDEMIN.ZIP by clicking on it from
your File Manager or Windows Explorer and
all required files will be inflated into C:\MYTEMP.
Step 3. Click File Run from the Program Manager or
Start Run (Windows 95) and enter "C:\MYTEMP\SETUP.EXE
Step 4. Follow further instructions on screen to
complete the program installation to your
Windows environment.
Note: Assuming you've installed the Task Force COMMANDER
application to a directory other than C:\MYTEMP
then you may want to free up disk space by deleting
C:\MYTEMP and all files residing within as they
will no longer be required.
HINTS:
If you are a Windows 95 user then make sure
your Taskbar is set to "Autohide" or you
may not be seeing the icons on the very
bottom of your screen.
To set the taskbar to Autohide:
1. Click on "Start"
2. Click on "Settings"
3. Click on "Taskbar..."
4. Click the checkmark on beside "Autohide"
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Here are 3 of the most common problems:
PROBLEM A.
If you get any error message relating to THREED.VBX
when installing the application then follow
the instructions below:
1. Using File manager or Explorer locate all occurences
of THREED.VBX on your hard drive and rename them to
THREED.BAK.
In some instances you may have to exit Windows and
rename in DOS mode.
2. Exit Windows completely if you have not already done so.
3. Go back into Windows
4. Install the Task Force Demo again (File+Run Setup.exe)
5. Problem should be solved if you followed the instructions.
PROBLEM B.
If you get any error message stating that a specific
file with a .DLL extension is in use then simply click the
IGNORE button and the installation will continue without
any problem.
PROBLEM C.
If you are getting a GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT when
clicking on an image for the first time then this
means a video driver conflict exists. To rectify
the problem follow the instructions below:
1. Open the Task Force COMMANDER Demo application
but DO NOT click on any image.
2. Click on the "Options" menu item and click
on "Disable Drag/Drop" so that a check mark
appears beside it.
3. Now you can safely click on any image without
the GPF occuring.
Note: Drag and drop is a feature that lets you click
on an image and while holding down the left
mouse button, drag it over and drop it on top
of an icon (located down extreme right and left)
in order to perform a function.
If you have followed the instructions above
then your Drag and Drag is disabled in order
to prevent the GPF error, however, this feature
is simply a bell and whistle. Clicking any
of these icons initiates the same function with
respect to the currently highlighted image.
