Manual: Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD Installation 1. Enter Windows 3.1 2. Starting at Program Manager, pull down the File menu and select Run... (the shorthand notation for this sequence is "Program Manager|File|Run") and at the command prompt type the letter (a-z) of your CD-ROM drive followed by install (example: d:install). 3. The program will default into the c:\hmapro directory and will occupy about 5.5 Mb of disk. You will have the opportunity to choose your drive and/or directory name. 4. If the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD install program does not detect support for Video for Windows then you will be prompted to allow this support to be installed. If you choose not to install Video for Windows then you will not be able to watch videos contained in Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD. See the READHMA.TXT file on your Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD disk for additional information concerning Video for Windows. 5. At the end of installation, an options screen will be presented to you. We recommend you press OK (choosing the default settings) since all of these features can be configured on-line when the program is running. 6. After installation, Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD should make an icon located in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD program group. If you have a substitute desktop program (e.g. Norton's Desktop) you may not get an icon set up for you. If this is the case, you can launch the program by double clicking on the HMAPRO.EXE file located in the c:\HMAPRO directory in File Manager. See your desktop documentation for setting up a icon (the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD icon should appear if the path is set up correctly). Note: If you have Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) for Windows (hard disk version) you should not overwrite this version with Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD. THE DATA FILES FOR THESE TWO PROGRAMS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. Either delete the version you don't want from your hard disk or allow them to exist in their own directories. Requirements: 1. Windows 3.1 and MPC level 1 PC 2. 4 Mb. RAM memory (need at least 2,600 Kb free under Windows). You can check your system memory by pulling down the Help menu at Program Manager to "About Program Manager." 3. VGA (640x480). We strongly recommend 256 color support. With only 16 color VGA you will not be able to access the image library or video library contained in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD. 4. CD-ROM drive 5. 386-16Mhz or above Recommended: 1. 386-33Mhz or above 2. 16 bit sound card 3. VGA in 256 colors--The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD is designed to run in 640x480 resolution in 256 colors. If run in a higher resolution (e.g. 800x600) it will still only occupy a window that is 640x480. 4. Dual-speed CD-ROM Using the Program We are assuming you are familiar with the use of a mouse and the Windows 3.1 environment. If you require additional assistance in Windows, please refer to your manual or the appropriate Help section. The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) Pro contains help sections at all screens that will describe how to use the program. Censor Function Many of the images contained in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD may be considered graphic, especially for younger users. Push the Options button and adjust the censor function accordingly. If you choose to censor all graphic images, then these pictures will not appear on the image library menus. If you have the censor set to anything but "always show graphic images," then the Symptom File will substitute a 16 color picture whenever a graphic image is detected by the system. Your Medical Records The most recent copy of Your Medical Records is also installed along with Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD. This version of Your Medical Records can read older versions of the save files. If you already have YMR installed, the new YMR will use the current YMR save file directory as its default save directory. The new YMR can read the older version save files, but the old copy of YMR cannot read the new YMR's save files. It is suggested that, if you have an existing copy of YMR, you use the updated version and remove the older version from your hard drive. Troubleshooting 1. Screens looks funny (fonts on buttons are too small or difficult to read): We recommend you use a 640x480 video driver that supports 256 colors. Check with your video card dealer to make sure you are running the most up-to-date video drivers for your card. If you do not have the Windows Arial (TrueType font) on your system, then Windows may substitute the next available TrueType (this may not be to your liking!). Go into Control Panel under Fonts to make sure your TrueType fonts are enabled and Arial is present on your list of available fonts. If Arial is not present then reinstall the this font using your Windows 3.1 disks. We have chosen Arial as our button font for its readability. All other fonts in the HMA can be chosen by you in the Options section. 2. Printing problems: The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD uses Windows Print Manager to perform its printing tasks. Unlike word processing programs that contain their own printer drivers, we are using the drivers supported by Windows. For this reason you must have a Windows print driver loaded to Windows. See your Windows documents or Printers under Control Panel to make sure your printer is supported. Ensure that the correct print driver is installed for your printer. If your printer supports multiple emulation modes, ensure that the print driver matches the current emulation mode of your printer. 3. Video playback problems (videos are "jerky" or sound makes "crackling" or "popping" noises): These types of problems are indicative of a slow component on the machine. The three major areas to look at are: a) Your CD-ROM drive. The drive should adhere to MPC Level 1 specs, in particular the 150 KB/sec transfer rate. However, an unusually slow seek time (> 350-400 msec) can also cause problems. b) Your video driver. Older video drivers typically are slower than the current drivers available. Ensure that you have the most current Windows 3.1 drivers available from your video card manufacturer. c) Your CPU. The video playback requires a nontrivial amount of a machines resources to play cleanly, and a heavily loaded machine or a slower machine may not be able to provide an adequate amount of resources. 4. The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD does not allow the videos to be played: Remember, Video For Windows must be installed. An easy way to verify whether an install has been performed is to start MediaPlayer (usually found in the Accessories group), pull down the Device menu item, and see if one of the recognized devices is Video For Windows. If it is not there, then Video For Windows has not been installed. 5. The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD thinks I do not have a 256-color driver installed: Verify that the current driver being used supports 256 colors. This can be done from Main|Control Panel|Windows Setup. If the driver does not support 256 colors, install a driver which does. If it does, check your monitor to ensure that it can display 256 colors. In some cases, the video card will reduce the number of colors to match what the monitor supports. Lastly, check with your video card manufacturer for an updated driver which correctly informs Windows via the device capabilities that it supports 256 colors. Installing Video For Windows The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD has the Microsoft Video For Windows runtime distribution on it. To run the install, use Program Manager|File|Run and at the prompt enter the letter (A-Z) for your CD-ROM drive following by the command '\runtime\setup' (example: D:\RUNTIME\SETUP). Follow the instructions given by the Video For Windows setup program. Technical Support Health Perfect Ltd. Tel: (0181) 447 8965 Fax: (0181) 450 1639
