Then double click the start icon in the "Copy_to_hard_drive" folder on your hard drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Checking the Number of users The WebWise CD-Rom allows users to access information regarding the number of people who have loaded the CD-Rom on a specific computer. If you are running Windows '95/98/NT or Windows 3.1 hold down the ALT key whilst Bruce the Spider's opening animation is playing. Once the animation has finished a dialogue box will appear giving the amount of times the CD had been played on that machine. IMPORTANT: DO NOT hold down any keys while the CD is starting up. If you are using a Macintosh hold down the OPTION or ALT key (depending on your keyboard) whilst Bruce the Spider's opening animation is playing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IT Manager's Section If you are running Windows '95/98/NT or Windows 3.1 hold down the CONTROL key whilst Bruce the Spider's opening animation is playing. This will give details on the browsers and plug-ins included on the CD. If you are using a Macintosh hold down the CONTROL key whilst Bruce the Spider's opening animation is playing. IMPORTANT: Please check that the machine you want to install the browser on is supported by IE4 and Netscape 4.5. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using the Internet connection on the WebWise CD-Rom. In the Going Live section, the WebWise CD-Rom will allow you to connect from the CD to the Internet, if you already have a connection on your computer. Using this facility will mean that your computer will need to have enough memory to run both the WebWise CD-Rom and your Internet Web Browser at the same time. IBM-Compatible PC's Recommended 16MB of Ram Windows 3.1 recommended that virtual memory be set to a minimum of 30MB. Apple Macintosh Recommended 20MB of Ram --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are sharing the WebWise CD-ROM over the network. We recommend the following: PC 1) Use the installer to copy WebWise to the Hard disk. 2) Use the Properties dialog box to set all the files in the WebWise folder to Read-only. The installer should already set this, but it is worth checking. For some Novell networks, you may also have to set the start.exe to Shareable in the Novell properties dialogue. 3) Projectors write two drivers (DIB.DRV and MACROMIX.DLL)in the Windows directory, so users must have write-access to the Windows directory. 4) Share as normal using Network Neighborhood NOTE: If you launch the start3_1.exe when it resides on a Novell server, it is likely that you will receive one of the following two messages: Cannot find pathname+ projector). Windows needs this file to run (pathname+ projector).OR Problem with file filename There are two requirements that must be met in order to run WebWise off of a Novell network: 1. The file attributes of start3_1.exe must be set to "Read-Only" 2. The Novell server must be mapped as a network drive on the local machine trying to access the start3_1.exe. In other words, you must assign a drive letter to the network volume. To map a drive letter to a network volume, please refer to Windows 95 Online Help. Click on the "Find" tab and enter "Map Network Drive" in the first field to locate the relevant information. MAC 1) Drag the Copy_to_hard_drive folder to the hard disk. 2) Turn program linking on in the File sharing control panel. 3) Check all the files in the Copy_to_hard_drive folder to locked using the Get Info dialog box in the Finder. 4) Share as normal using File sharing. NOTE : We can't guarantee stability of this CD across all possible network configurations
