- -> 32Mb Ram
- -> DirectX 5.0 or later and a CD-ROM drive for Music response

- Instructions for Installation and Removal
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- * If you are upgrading from a previous version of the Holographic Screen
- Saver, you will need to un-install the previous version first. If you
- wish to save your designs, you will need to copy the file holossv2.dat
- to another directory, install v2.13, then copy the file back to the
- new directory. When asked if you'd like to overwrite the file, say Yes.
-
- To Install the Holographic Screen Saver, follow these steps-
-
- 1. Using a program like WinZip or PKUnzip, extract the contents of
- the file holossv213.zip into a temporary folder. Visit our links page
- for a link to WinZip at http://www.virtual-creations.com/links.html
- 2. When the program is finished extracting, run the newly extracted
- file named Setup.exe.
- 3. Setup.exe will guide you through the installation process.
-
- *Note...If while running Setup.exe you get a message that you will need
- to restart your computer to continue, you will have to restart and run
- Setup.exe again. This is because the Setup.exe program requires some of
- its own files to run.
-
- To Remove the Holographic Screen Saver, follow these steps-
-
- 1. In your Control Panel, click Add Remove Programs.
- 2. Scroll down the list of files until you find the Holographic Screen
- Saver. Select it and click OK.
- 3. You will be guided through the process of removing the program.
