To get the most enjoyment when running Beautiful Beautiful Nudes, read these performance tips first: For problems running Beautiful Beautiful Nudes or other programs immediately after installation, or for the error message pertaining to VER.DLL: ============================================================== A. Click on the "Start" button, select "Programs," then select "Explorer." B. From the \Window\System\ directory locate the file VER.DLL. Press the F2 key (at the top of your keyboard) to rename the file. After pressing F2, you can type a new name for the file. For instance, you may want to rename it to "VER.OLD." C. From Explorer, locate your \Windows\Sysbckup directory. The full path should be "C:\Windows\Sysbckup\" If you do not see it, from the Explorer window select "View," then "Options." From the options dialog box make sure that you have checked the option for "Show all files." Click "Okay" and then go back to your windows directory. D. Once you've located the directory, you should find another copy of the file VER.DLL in the \Windows\Sysbckup\ directory. Select the file and right click on it. This will launch a pop-up menu. From the menu select "Copy" E. Switch back to the \Windows\System\ directory. Right click in the directory and select "Paste" from the menu. This will copy the VER.DLL file from the Sysbckup directory into the \System directory. F. Reboot your system and everything should work fine. When installing a new photo set in the Screensaver section and getting the error that says "Permission denied" ============================================== Make sure that you press "Save" and not "Install." "Install" is used only the first time, to install the screen saver program files to disk. After pressing "Install" for the first set, press "Save" thereafter to add additional screensaver photo sets to your local hard drive. System Memory/General Protection Fault/End Of File Errors ========================================================== If you experience out of memory or unexplained errors when running Beautiful Beautiful Women, try any or all of the following tips: 1. Make sure that your system's memory is configured to have at least 8 MB of memory. 2. Turn OFF any screen savers running and any other memory intensive applications (including any computer manufacturer's start-up videos/demos) unless you have at least 16MB RAM. Even our Beautiful Beautiful Nudes Screen Saver 2.2 when installed and turned on may cause memory problems when running the Beautiful Beautiful Nudes CD-ROM. 3. If your system is low on memory, load network and device drivers into high memory. 4. It may help to run a disk utility to optimize your hard drive. 5. Reboot your system using a generic config.sys and autoexec.bat file. If you have done all of the above but are still experiencing problems, try reinstalling Beautiful Beautiful Nudes. To do so, first delete the entire bbn_v1 directory and then follow the installation instructions on the back of the user manual. NOTE: If you have already created and saved shows that you do not want to lose, first copy to a different directory the file sel.dat from the bbw\data subdirectory on your system's hard drive. (The sel.dat file contains all the shows you have saved.) After you reinstall Beautiful Beautiful Nudes from the CD-ROM, move the sel.dat file back into the data subdirectory. MICROSOFT PLUS! USERS If you encounter the error message: "SS3D2.VBX is out of date". Copy the file located at :\INSTALL\SYSTEM\SS3D2.VBX to the SYSTEM DIRECTORY of the WINDOWS DIRECTORY on your hard drive. You will be asked if you want to replace the older file. Do so. The next time you launch Beautiful Beautiful Nudes the error will not occur. Image Resolution ================= If your beautiful nudes images don't appear sharp and with good color, check to make sure that your system is set up to use a video driver that allows 16-bit color (64K, i.e. 65,536 colors). Anything less than 64K will result in dithered images, which are hard to view (and will also cause incredibly slow performance). If you don't have the proper driver, you may be able to obtain it for free by downloading it from an online service, or by contacting your computer maker directly. Also, 640 X 480 is the recommended resolution, although others do work. To change how your display is set up, use the Windows Setup program, which is usually in the Main program group on your desktop, or use the video control panel utility that came with your video card. Video Playback Performance =========================== If you are experiencing video problems when playing your shows, you may be able to enhance the video performance by making some changes to the qtw.ini file. To get details on how to make these changes, run the Windows Notepad application or other text editor and open the file qtvideo.txt that is located in your bbn directory. Music Playback Performance =========================== If the playback of the music in your shows is not smooth, your system's hard drive may be fragmented. Run a disk optimization program to increase the music playback performance of your shows. Windows 95 =========== If you find that any of your Beautiful Beautiful Nudes screens make it difficult to access your Windows 95 task bar, try changing some of the settings for the task bar options. Technical Support ================== Before contacting Technical Support, first refer to the user manual. A description of the system equipment that you have installed will be requested whether you contact Technical Support via the Internet or telephone. For details about your system, first type MSD at the C:\ prompt and choose Print on the File menu. Telephone Technical Support is also available 24 hours, at (503)591-5182. ============================================================= Thank you for purchasing the Beautiful Beautiful Nudes CD-ROM.
