2.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2.1 System Software:
Club KidSoft requires System 7.0 or later, and a color-capable Macintosh.
2.2 Screen Resolution:
Club KidSoft requires a minimum setting of 640 x 480 x 8 bit (256 color) screen resolution (13" color monitor). If you have a 16- or 24-bit color card, you may wish to run in 8-bit color mode for better performance, but this is not required.
2.3 CD-ROM Drive:
We highly recommend using a double speed CD-ROM drive. The application will run using a single speed drive, but load times and screen changes will be slower, and movies may be choppy.
If you receive an error message "101" while starting the program, the following steps may alleviate the problem:
If your Control Panels folder contains an Apple CD Speed Switch Control Panel, try changing the speed setting to standard speed and restarting the computer.
Try restarting your machine.
2.4 Memory:
Club KidSoft uses approximately 3800K of RAM to run.
Virtual Memory causes problems when running the Club KidSoft CD on some Performa models (5215 for example). Turn off Virtual Memory by going to the Apple menu, selecting Control Panels, then Memory, then clicking the Off button next to Virtual Memory. After doing this, please restart your Macintosh.
NOTE: On Macintosh systems with only 5 MB of RAM, your computer may not have enough memory left over after starting Club KidSoft to launch some of the demos from within the Club KidSoft program. You can make more memory available by removing some of your INITs, but this still may not make enough RAM available. However, you may still launch any of the demos from the Finder. They are located in a folder called "Demos", on the Club KidSoft CD-ROM. Just open up the appropriate folder and double click on the demo program.
3.0 INSTALLATION NOTES
No special installation is required. Please note that the Club KidSoft CD-ROM must still be in your CD-ROM drive for the application to work properly.
Club KidSoft does need QuickTime to run properly. If you don't currently have QuickTime, you should install the QuickTime Extension which you can do from the top level of the Club KidSoft CD-ROM. Just double-click on the QuickTime™ 2.1 Installer icon on the top-level of your system folder. This program will install QuickTime and reboot your Macintosh.
3.1 LAUNCHING CLUB KIDSOFT
After you have inserted your Club KidSoft CD-ROM, double-click on the Club KidSoft CD-ROM drive icon. Double-click on the Club KidSoft application. Have fun!
4.0 INSIDE CLUB KIDSOFT
Use your mouse to navigate around the program. Explore the screen by clicking on different objects with your mouse. You may be surprised by what happens!
The lower left hand side of all screens will have a button to let you go backwards to the previous screen. To exit, back up to the first screen and click on the stop sign, or press the Command and Q keys at the same time.
4.1 EXITING FROM THE DEMOS
Before each demo is launched, a dialog box will appear with specific notes for that demo, but in most cases pressing the Command and Q keys at the same time will exit a demo. Read and print the document titled, Quitting KidSoft Demos, to find a complete list of demos and the key combination required to quit.
4.2 SHOPPING IN THE CLUB KIDSOFT CD-ROM
The KidSoft SuperStore was designed to make it easy to find a particular product, products for a particular age group, products in specific categories, or to just browse our entire Store.
While in the KidSoft SuperStore Screen, you may use the black menu buttons entitled "CHOOSE FROM", "CATEGORIES" and "AGES" to define your search criteria.
You may also use the "FIND" button located on the bottom of the screen to search for a specific product by title.
Clicking on a box photo will take you to a detail screen where you may view the product description. By clicking on the tabs at the top of that screen, you may obtain information on pricing, available platforms and hardware requirements. If there is a demo available, you may launch it from the "RUN DEMO" button located on the bottom portion of the picture on the screen.
To purchase a product, click the "BUY NOW" button on the bottom right of the screen. If you have selected your product, this will take you directly to the Purchase Screen, if you have not yet selected a product, this button will take you to the FIND screen so that you may locate the product you would like to purchase. You will then be taken to the product detail screen. Click "BUY NOW" again and you will be taken to the Purchase Screen.
4.2.1 PURCHASING FROM THE CLUB KIDSOFT CD-ROM
