-
- This document contains information not included in the CreataCard
- Special Edition User's Guide.
-
-
- Installation / Uninstallation
- -----------------------------
-
- 1. As with any software product installation, you should close ALL
- other applications prior to running Setup.
-
- 2. If your screen saver is set to activate after a very short
- period of user inactivity you might find that the screen saver
- starts during the application installation or during the help
- system's animations. If this happens, increase the screen
- saver wait time.
-
- 3. If you choose to install Picture Painter, it will normally be
- set as the default screen saver. However, in some cases
- (such as if After Dark is detected), your screen saver settings
- will not be changed. You can change your screen saver settings
- by bringing up the Windows Control Panel, clicking on the
- Desktop or Display icon, and changing the section titled
- Screen Saver.
-
- 4. When installing under Windows NT, previous CreataCard versions
- would place their icons in "Common" groups. Starting with this
- release of CreataCard Special Edition, icons are placed into
- "Personal" groups. Therefore, if you have a previous version
- of CreataCard installed along with CreataCard Special Edition,
- you will see two CreataCard groups.
-
- 5. If you uninstall a previous version of CreataCard which resides
- in the same directory as CreataCard Special Edition, you may
- lose all or part of the CreataCard Special Edition files. If
- you want to uninstall a previous version of CreataCard which
- exists in the same directory as CreataCard Special Edition, you
- must:
-
- 1) uninstall CreataCard Special Edition
- 2) uninstall the previous version of CreataCard
- 3) reinstall CreataCard Special Edition
-
- 6. With this release of CreataCard Special Edition, the screen
- saver application has been renamed to Picture Painter 2. In
- previous versions this was known as Picture Painter.
- Installing the new Picture Painter 2 will not remove the old
- Picture Painter. However, since all of the features in the old
- Picture Painter are also found in the new Picture Painter 2, we
- suggest that you remove any previously installed version of the
- screen saver. You may remove a previously installed version of
- Picture Painter by running Setup.exe from the CD-ROM from which
- it was installed, and choosing Remove Picture Painter.
-
-
- Windows 95 and NT
- -----------------
-
- 1. CreataCard Special Edition was designed as a full screen
- product. The Windows taskbar will not be visible while running
- CreataCard Special Edition. It can be accessed by pressing
- Ctrl-Esc.
-
- 2. CreataCard Special Edition will not automatically adjust to
- video resolution changes. Exit CreataCard Special Edition and
- restart it when changing your display settings.
-
-
- Scanners and Digital Cameras
- ----------------------------
-
- 1. Epson 1200c - We suggest using the 32-bit driver which is
- available for this scanner from the manufacturer. Using the
- 16-bit driver may cause a crash in the Twunk16.exe module.
-
- 2. Mustek 1200sp - The scanner must be turned on before choosing
- Insert Photo.
-
- 3. If you install a scanner or digital camera driver after
- installing CreataCard Special Edition and you are experiencing
- problems acquiring images from the scanner or camera,
- reinstalling CreataCard Special Edition may help. This will
- ensure that you are using the latest Twain drivers available
- at the time that CreataCard Special Edition shipped.
-
-
- Printing
- --------
-
- 1. When printing to the Hewlett Packard 1600 or 1200 in PCL mode,
- enable the "Print True Type as Graphics" option. This should
- prevent problems that may occur when printing text on top of
- graphics.
-
- 2. We always suggest that if you are experiencing any difficulty
- with printing, make sure you obtain the latest printer driver
- for your printer from the printer manufacturer.
-
-
- CreataCard Online
- -----------------
-
- CreataCard Special 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 Special 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.
-
-
- Registration
- ------------
-
- An electronic registration utility is included to allow you to
- easily register your new product. Registering CreataCard Special
- Edition enables us to keep you best informed about product
- upgrades and additional content as it becomes available.
-
- 1. Electronic registration can only be performed one time.
-
- 2. You may print the registration form as many times as you like,
- until you actually register. After registration, you may no
- longer print the registration form or electronically register
- again.
-
- 3. If you cancel or exit during the registration, you must run
- SETUP again to try the registration process again.
-
-
- 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 Special Edition, simply
- delete the file backpage.csf. This file is located wherever you
- installed CreataCard Special Edition, in the DATA subdirectory.
-
-
- Other Stuff
- -----------
-
- The development team at Micrografx hope that you have as much fun
- with CreataCard Special Edition as we had creating it for you!
