To correct this in many applications (such as Microsoft Word) use the Paste Special Command on the Edit menu and choose to paste the image as a Bitmap. There are a small number of images in the World Almanac that may not look accurate when pasted into another application along with the text from that article. To correct this problem, return to Bookshelf and select the picture and text separately. First use the right mouse button to click on the image. Select copy, switch to the application where you wish to paste the image and select Paste from the Edit menu. Switch back to Bookshelf and follow the same directions for copying the text. ======================================================================== IMPROVING THE SPEED OF YOUR COMPUTER Microsoft Bookshelf uses the random access memory (RAM) of your computer to display pictures and play sounds animations, and videos. If Bookshelf runs slowly or you see out-of-memory messages, Bookshelf may not have enough memory. The following suggestions may make Bookshelf run faster. * Close all unnecessary applications. * Defragment ("clean up") or optimize your hard disk by running a defragmentation program. * Ensure that your CD-ROM drive is MPC Level 2. Check the documentation that came with your CD-ROM drive. * Add more RAM to your computer. To run Bookshelf you need at least 4 megabytes (sometimes listed as 4096 kilobytes, KB, or K) * Optimize the performance of Windows. For complete details, consult your Windows manual. * If you are using Windows 95 make sure it is optimized for your CD-ROM drive. Windows 95 provides settings for CD caching and for accessing various CD-ROM drive speeds. To review and modify these settings: 1.

This can occur with the QVision drivers that ship with Win95, as well as, with a newer version of the drivers, QVision v.1.11.7M. To resolve the situation try one of the following: If your video card memory configuration supports greater than 256 colors use the higher color options to eliminate the problem. OR In the COMPAQ.INI file add the following line to the [CpqDrv] section: DIBEngineOnly=On This allows the Windows95 DIB Engine to handle the video functions. Aztech Labs (AZI)(for users of Windows 3.x only) --------------------------------------- You may experience problems playing compressed wave audio when using any of the following Aztech Labs (AZI) sound cards: - Multimedia Pro - NX Pro 16 - Sound Galaxy Basic 16 - Sound Galaxy Pro 16 To resolve the problem try the following: * Add a D=64 parameter at the end of the Device=EMM386 line in the CONFIG.SYS file. For example, if your EMM386.EXE file is in the DOS directory on drive C, you would use the following line: Device=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE D=64. * Change the DMABufferSize setting in the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file to "DMABufferSize=064" (without the quotation marks). If the line does not exist, add it. * Do the following: 1. Note the driver listed in the Wave= line in the [drivers] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. 2. Find the section by that name in the SYSTEM.INI file. For example, if Wave=mm16.drv, find the [mm16.drv] section. 3. Add a "SingleModeDMA=True" line (without the quotation marks) to this section. 4. If the driver in the Control Panel for the particular AZI card has separate 8-bit and 16-bit DMA settings, try setting the 16-bit to None. Some 16-bit AZI sound card drivers do not have separate 8-bit and 16-bit DMA settings. If the problem still persists, you may need a sound driver update. For more information, contact Aztech Labs technical support at (800) 886-8879 or Sound Galaxy Support at (510) 623-8988. The Aztech products discussed here are manufactured by Aztech, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability. ======================================================================== BOOKSHELF 1996-97 EDITION DISPLAY Requirements --------------------- Microsoft Bookshelf requires a 256 color display to run. If your computer's display is less than 256 colors, you need to install a 256 color driver, or obtain one from your video card's manufacturer. If you are using Windows 3.x, a set of generic 256 color drivers (which support most non-accelerated Super VGA adapters) has been included on the Microsoft Bookshelf CD (see the README.TXT supplied with the drivers for more information on supported video adapters). The file (SVGA.EXE) is located in the D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory (assuming D:\ is the drive letter of your CD-ROM). To install the driver you will first need to copy the appropriate driver file from the D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory on the Microsoft Bookshelf CD to your hard disk (Note: Do not copy this file to the C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories). Once the file has been copied to the hard disk you will need to "extract" the video driver by either typing the name of the file and pressing the Enter key from the MS-DOS prompt (i.e. SVGA ) or by double clicking on the file (SVGA.EXE) in the File Manager. Once the files are extracted, complete the installation of the video driver by opening the DISPLAY.TXT file located in the directory where the expanded video driver resides. Find the section entitled "Installing a Display Driver" and follow the steps. For further information on installing a different display driver, choose Contents from the Help menu in the Windows Setup application or consult your Windows documentation. Display Problems --------------------- In some situations, Bookshelf 1996-97 Edition may encounter video display problems when using high resolution video drivers from various video card manufacturers. The problems include: * Images and illustrations appearing grainy or having "glitches." * Videos displaying garbled images or causing General Protection Faults. Most problems can be fixed by obtaining new drivers from your video card manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer of your video card to determine if there are newer versions available. Their phone number should be in the manuals that came with your video card or personal computer. Another option for obtaining updated drivers is the Microsoft Download service, an electronic bulletin board that can be accessed via a modem at (206) 936-MSDL (6735). In other cases, Bookshelf 1996-97 Edition may look bad on 256 color displays when other applications that also use 256 colors are placed over the Bookshelf window. Some things you can do to alleviate this include: * Run your display at a color depth greater than 256 colors. See your video card owners manual on directions on how to do this. * Don't use gradient fills. * Maximize the application window. * Make sure you are using the latest video drivers for your display. Font Display Problems on Windows 3.x --------------------- Bookshelf uses TrueType fonts for its display. If you receive a message stating that one of the fonts is unavailable, make sure that TrueType fonts are enabled on your computer. 1. From the Windows Control Panel, select Fonts and then click the TrueType button. 2. In the TrueType dialog box, make sure the Enable TrueType Fonts check box is selected (an X appears in the check box when it is selected). 3. If the Enable TrueType Fonts check box is selected, then go back to the Fonts dialog box and click the Help button for more information on adding fonts. To view fonts currently installed in Windows, open the Control Panel. From the Control Panel, select Fonts. Fonts currently in use by Windows are listed in the Installed fonts box. Bookshelf 1996-97 Edition uses and installs the following TrueType fonts: - Arial (TrueType) - Arial Bold (TrueType) - Arial Bold Italic (TrueType) - Arial Italic (TrueType) - Bookshelf Symbol 1 (TrueType) - Bookshelf Symbol 2 (TrueType) - Bookshelf Symbol 3 (TrueType) - Symbol (TrueType) If any of the above are missing, run the Bookshelf Setup program and choose Remove All. Once Setup is complete re-run the Bookshelf Setup program to reinstall Bookshelf. ======================================================================== NOTES ON QUICKSHELF QuickShelf and Bookshelf 1994 or 1995 ------------------------------ If you choose to keep Bookshelf 1994 or 1995 installed on your computer, you may find that trying to launch Bookshelf 1996-97 from QuickShelf 1996-97 will result in an earlier version of Bookshelf being started. To correct the problem, close the earlier version of Bookshelf and launch Bookshelf 1996-97 . The next time QuickShelf 1996-97 is used Bookshelf 1996-97 will start. Also see Running With Microsoft Office Applications below. ======================================================================== NOTES ON ADDRESS BUILDER In some instances the Address Builder may be unable to suggest a zip code based on a street address alone. In this case, try using a specific city name (spell it correctly) and/or a state name to narrow down zip code information. ======================================================================== NOTES ON USING THE INTERNET DIRECTORY IN BOOKSHELF Depending on your Internet connection, it may take up to several minutes for your browser to successfully connect with a site that you have launched from the Internet Directory. You should wait to see if the connection is successful before returning to the Internet Directory and attempting to initiate another link. Attempting to connect with multiple Internet sites simultaneously is not recommended. For Windows 3.x Users: The help file suggests that when used with mail programs that supports simple MAPI, Bookshelf will automatically create electronic mail messages. The mail program must support 32-bit MAPI, which is currently unavailable on Windows 3.x. To work around this problem, you should paste the email address into your mail client and follow any additional directions on mail creation at the top of the article. ======================================================================== RUNNING ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT The following are known issues related to using Bookshelf with Windows NT. Where possible, solutions or workarounds are provided. Installation ------------- You must have administrative privileges in order to successful install Bookshelf on Windows NT.

Open the folder called The Microsoft Network 3. Find the file called MSNver.txt 4. Double click on that file 5. If the number "5799" appears in the document, you are running version 1.2 6. If the file does not exist or you don't see this number, you need to upgrade ======================================================================== TROUBLESHOOTING This section contains information about troubleshooting the following: * Audio problems * CD-ROM problems * Printing problems * Video display problems TROUBLESHOOTING AUDIO PROBLEMS No Sound If sound does not play at all: * Be sure a sound card is installed. * Check that a speaker is connected to the jack on your sound card not to the CD-ROM drive. * Check the volume to be sure it is set at an audible level. * If the volume is turned up and you still hear no sounds, something may be wrong with your sound board installation. Check to see that the sound board drivers and necessary Windows drivers are installed correctly and reinstall if necessary. To check the installed drivers for Windows 95, click Start, Settings, and then Control Panel. Double- click System. Click the Device Manager tab, select the Sound, video and game controller entry to make sure a driver for your sound card is installed. *If you're using Windows 3.x, check to see that the drivers are installed correctly and, if necessary, reinstall them. To determine if the sound drivers are installed check the Drivers section of the Windows Control Panel. For more information on installing your sound drivers, refer to the documentation that came with your sound card. If you have any problems, contact your sound board manufacturer for assistance. * If you're using Windows 95, make sure audio compression is selected-open the Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs, click the Windows Setup tab, select Multimedia from the list, and then click Details. Make sure that Audio Compression is checked. * If the software is installed correctly, the sound board may need to be pressed more securely into its slot or have a jumper setting changed. * If you have both a sound board and special software that bypasses the sound board to play sounds through the PC speaker, we suggest you remove or disable the special software (the PC speaker driver). Bookshelf requires an MPC-compatible sound board to be installed and is not meant to run with the PC internal speaker or any combination of that speaker and special software. * If you're using Windows 95 and if the volume is turned up and you still hear no sounds, something may be wrong with your sound board installation. Check to see that the sound board drivers and necessary Windows drivers are installed correctly and reinstall if necessary. Sound Breaks Up If sound plays, but the audio breaks up or skips, this is usually an indication that the CD-ROM drive does not fully meet the MPC Level 2 specification for the Data Transfer Rate. The MPC 2 specification states that the CD-ROM drive needs to be capable of transferring data at a rate of 300 K (kilobytes) per second while using 60% or less of the CPU. You can continue to use your CD-ROM drive to run Bookshelf but will continue to experience this choppiness in audio and animation clips. Sounds are Cut Off If sounds are cut off, this may be due to other sound-producing programs you have running. Your computer can play only one sound at a time, therefore other applications that produce sounds can interrupt the sounds in Bookshelf. Some sound-producing programs can take over the audio capability and prevent other Windows programs from being able to make sounds. If you suspect you have such a program, do not run it at the same time as Bookshelf. MIDI with Media Player Problems ---Windows 3.x Only Media Player is a program that can play MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files. When you're playing anthems and musical examples, you may hear softer sounds than when playing other audio. To increase the sound level, you need to adjust your mixer settings. To do this in Windows 95, from the Start menu choose accessories, then multimedia. In the multimedia section you will see Volume Control. Select this and adjust the MIDI volume level(s) to the desired volume. In Windows 3.x, Media Player is normally located in the Accessories group in Program Manager. It allows you to check the MIDI installation in a simple way. After using the File Open command to load a .MID file into Media Player (there should be some in the Windows directory) click the Play button. You may get the following message: "The current MIDI Mapper setup refers to a MIDI device that is not installed on the system. Use MIDI Mapper to edit the setup." If this message appears, it means that your MIDI Mapper is not configured properly. The first thing to do in this case is to check if your MIDI Mapper configuration was changed: To check for changes to your MIDI Mapper configuration: 1. Look for a file called MIDIMAP.OLD in your \windows\system directory. If this file exists, it means that your original MIDI Mapper configuration file was replaced. 2. If you see a MIDIMAP.OLD, then rename MIDIMAP.CFG to MIDIMAP.BAK. 3. Now rename MIDIMAP.OLD to MIDIMAP.CFG. 4. Try playing a MIDI file in Media Player. If this procedure fails or is inapplicable, run Control Panel (usually in the Main group of the Windows Program Manager)and check the setup in the MIDI Mapper. For example, if the Ad Lib driver is installed in the Drivers part of the Control Panel, the MIDI Mapper should be set for Ad Lib. If a different MIDI device is installed, choose an appropriate setup for the device. For more information on setting up the MIDI device drivers, look in the manuals that came with your sound board. To set the MIDI Mapper to use the Ad Lib setup: 1. Run Control Panel. 2. Run MIDI Mapper. 3. Press ALT + S to show setups. 4. Press ALT + A to move to the name field for setups. 5. Use the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to set the name field to Ad Lib and the description below the name field to "Base-level setup." 6. Close the MIDI Mapper to accept this setup. MIDI Anthems and Musical Examples Fail to Play on Windows 3.x To test nonfunctioning anthems or other musical examples: 1. In Media Player, choose MIDI Sequencer from the Device menu. An Open dialog box appears with the file CANYON.MID listed in the \WINDOWS directory. If MIDI Sequencer is not listed, the sound card or sound card software is not configured correctly for MIDI files to play in Windows. Contact the sound card manufacturer for more information. 2. Select CANYON.MID and choose OK. 3. Select the Play button on the lower left side of Media Player. If no sound is heard, try increasing the volume and test again. You may get the following message: "The current MIDI Mapper setup refers to a MIDI device that is not installed on the system. Use MIDI Mapper to edit the setup." This message means you may have an incorrect "MIDI Mapper" setting in your Control Panel. To see if your MIDI Mapper settings are correct: 1. Open the Control Panel. 2. Double-click the MIDI Mapper icon. 3. Click the edit button. The third column labeled "Port Name" contains 16 different port names. They should all be set to something other than [NONE]. 4. Update the MIDI Mapper as needed, choose OK, choose Yes, then choose Close. You should now be able to exit the Control Panel and play MIDI files, including the anthems. Another possible reason anthems or other musical examples may fail to play is a corrupt MIDIMAP.CFG file: To try to correct a corrupt MIDIMAP.CFG file: 1. In File Manager, choose Search from the File menu. 2. In the Search For box, type "midimap.cfg" (without the quotation marks). 3. In the Start From box, type ":\" (without the quotation marks), where is your hard drive. For example, if you hard drive is drive C, type "c:\". 4. Select Search All Subdirectories. 5. Choose OK. MIDIMAP.CFG should be in at least the following two places on the hard drive: * C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (this assumes that Windows is in C:\WINDOWS) * A directory containing your sound card software 6. Make note of the directory location of the copy of MIDIMAP.CFG that came with the sound card, then exit Windows to MS-DOS. 7. Copy MIDIMAP.CFG from the sound card software directory to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Choose Yes, if asked to overwrite the file. 8. Restart Windows. TROUBLESHOOTING CD-ROM PROBLEMS Do not remove the Bookshelf compact disc from your CD-ROM drive while running Bookshelf. If Bookshelf cannot find the data files it needs to run, you will see a message prompting you to correct the problem. TROUBLESHOOTING PRINTING PROBLEMS Printers differ in their abilities to use fonts, graphics, spacing, alignment, and character formats. The appearance of your printed document can vary greatly from printer to printer. The way your document looks depends on which formats you assign and which formats your printer can print. If you encounter problems when printing from Bookshelf, such as no printout, low print quality, or erratic text being printed, there are several ways to troubleshoot or correct the problem. The following topics provide basic information about solving problems when printing from Microsoft Bookshelf. Sections specific to Windows 95 are identified. Note: If the printer displays a message or an error indicator, see your printer manual for information about how to correct the problem. Printer Does Not Print at All When a printer will not print at all, the cause is often a simple mechanical problem; that is, the printer may be off-line, or not connected to the computer. * Check that the printer is plugged in and turned on. * Check that the correct port is specified for your printer. * Make sure that you have the correct cable for your printer and that the cable is connected properly. * In Windows 95, check your printer setup: click Start, Settings, and then Printers. Verify the printer information displayed. or; In Windows 3.x, check your printer setup: select the Main Program Group, double click on Control Panel, double click on Printers. Verify the printer information displayed. Print Quality is Poor If print quality is poor or "garbled," try one or more of the following steps to solve this problem. Try printing after each step before attempting the next one. 1. Try copying the text you wish to print to a word processor such as Microsoft Word for Windows and print from that program. Printing from a word-processing program may, in some cases, produce better quality than printing directly from Bookshelf. 2. Reset the printer; turn it off and on again. 3. Try reinstalling the printer driver. 4. In Windows 95, check the printer setup click Start, Settings, and then Printers. 4. In Windows 3.x, check your printer setup: select the Main Program Group, double click on Control Panel, double click on Printers. 5. Verify the printer information displayed. 6. If you have a serial printer, ensure that the baud rate and printer parameters are set to manufacturer's specifications. (Decreasing the baud rate may solve the problem.) To check the serial com port settings in Windows 95: click Start, Settings, and then Control Panel. In the Control panel, click the System icon, and then the Device Manager tab. Verify the Port settings. To check the serial com port settings in Windows 3.1: double click on Control Panel, Select Ports, Choose the Com Port that you need, click the Settings... button, set the appropriate baud rate Printing Tips The following tips may help you with printing problems * Many printers emulate industry-standard printers such as the Epson LQ, IBM Proprinter, or Hewlett-Packard LaserJet series. Consult your printer manual to see if your printer supports an emulation. If it does, install the driver for the printer it emulates in the Control Panel. * If you have purchased a printer model that has not been on the market for very long, your dealer or manufacturer may have a Windows printer driver for your printer. * If you have problems printing in Windows 3.x, try the Generic/Text Only printer driver. To do so, follow these steps: 1. From the Main group of Program manager, choose Control Panel. 2. From Control Panel, choose Printers. 3. From Printers, select the Add Printer option. 4. From the list of printers, choose Generic/Text only and select the Install option. 5. In the Installed Printers box, select Generic/Text Only. 6. Choose the Set As Default Printer button. * If you have problems printing in Windows 95, try the Generic/Text Only printer driver. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Printers. 2. Double-click the Add Printer icon and follow the instructions in the Add Printer Wizard to install the Generic/Text Only printer driver. 3. Use the right mouse button to click the Generic/Text Only printer 4. Click Set As Default from the menu. 5. Try to print from your application with this driver. TROUBLESHOOTING VIDEO DISPLAY PROBLEMS If you are having display problems, try doing the following: * Try closing down other programs to ensure you have enough memory. * Try switching to a driver supplied by Windows 95 or Windows NT. * Change to a different display mode. An alternative to using a different driver is to change your video mode to a standard video mode such as 640x480 resolution with 256 colors. For details on how to change drivers or switch to a different display mode, see your Windows documentation. ==================================================================================================== MEDIA CREDIT CORRECTIONS There are several audio clips that are missing credit strings in the product.
