- Installation Notes
-
- (This Read Me file can be seen from the Install program and
- by double-clicking on the ReadMe icon in the Program Group.)
-
- Configuring the screen saver
-
- The Installation program installs the screen saver by copy-
- ing the program files to your hard disk. You now need to
- run the screen saver Configuration program to select the
- screen saver and wallpaper options you want.
-
- To run the screen saver Configuration program, double-click
- on the screen saver Config icon in the newly created
- Program Manager group.
-
- You can also run the Configuration program by clicking on
- the Screen Saver Setup button in the Desktop Control Panel.
-
- You will probably want to reconfigure the screen saver from
- time to time for variety.
-
- Uninstalling the screen saver
-
- You can uninstall the screen saver and its media files by
- rerunning the Installation program from the CD-ROM and
- selecting the uninstall option.
-
- Password Protection and Security
-
- Although the screen saver provides password protection,
- this protection can be readily bypassed by simply rebooting
- your PC. You should never use the screen saver as a means
- of protecting secret or confidential information.
-
- QuickTime for Windows
-
- QuickTime for Windows was automatically installed to your
- system if it wasn't there already. If you have any
- questions about QuickTime video adapter and sound card
- compatibility, check the QuickTime ReadMe file.
-
- QTW with Compaq Q-Vision:
-
- Call Compaq customer service (800-345-1518),
- BBS (713-378-1418), or
- Compuserve--GOCOMPAQ for updated drivers.
-
- Scaling QuickTime Movies:
-
- If you scale the QuickTime movies up (make them bigger),
- we suggest you scale them to 200%, and not intermediate
- percentages like 147, 183, etc., to avoid adversely af-
- fecting the performance of your video playback. On the
- other hand, you safely may use any percentage you wish when
- scaling movies down (making them smaller).
-
- Minimum System Requirements
-
- The screen saver will not run correctly if your system does
- not satisfy the minimum system requirements, which are:
-
- DOS Version 3.3 or better
- Windows Version 3.1 or better (Enhanced mode)
- 80386 20 MHz processor or better
- 4 MB memory or better
- 256 Color VGA or better
-
- The Installation program automatically verifies these re-
- quirements, so you should not have any problems (aside from
- possible QuickTime problems) if Installation ran successfully.
-
- If your system does not satisfy the minimum requirements,
- you will need to address any problems before running the
- Installation program again. If necessary, you can check
- your system by running any of the following utilities:
-
- Microsoft Diagnostics
- -MSD.EXE in the Windows subdirectory
- Symantec Norton Utilities' System Info
- Central Point PC Tools System Info
-
- Audio Support
-
- A 16-bit audio card is recommended for audio support. An
- 8-bit card may work, but may not play QuickTime videos well.
-
- Although the screen saver can run without an audio card,
- you cannot hear sound effects or video sound tracks without
- audio support. You can obtain low quality audio support by
- using the PC Speaker audio driver, which can be downloaded
- from CompuServe. This driver can play audio files but not
- video sound tracks.
-
- To obtain this file from CompuServe, type "GO MSUSER",
- select the Microsoft Software Library, search for "PC
- Speaker", and download the file SPEAK.EXE.
-
- Multiple CD-ROM Drives
-
- The screen saver searches for media files using the CD-ROM
- drive letter that you installed from. If you have more
- than one CD-ROM drive, be sure to put the screen saver CD-
- ROM in the drive you installed from if you want to use
- media files on that CD-ROM.
-
- Norton Desktop For Windows
-
- The screen saver is not compatible with the Sleeper screen
- saver program included with Norton Desktop For Windows.
-
- TroubleShooting
-
- Virtual memory is essential for running properly in low
- memory situations. Make sure that virtual memory is turned
- on in the 386 Enhanced Control Panel.
