I. INSTALLATION
----------------
If you have an installation diskette, place it in your a: drive and run
A:\SETUP.EXE. The installation program will guide you through the
installation process.
If you have a zipped version of the program (e.g. WWIPERS.ZIP) then copying
this .ZIP file to a subdirectory (e.g. C:\WWIPERS) and using PKUNZIP to
decompress the files will give you a working version of Window Wipers.
Note: You will need PKZIP 2.04g or higher.
II. INSTALLING TO A NETWORK
---------------------------
If you are installing from an installation disk in a networked environment
and the above procedure does not work, then perform the following steps:
1. Copy A:\SETUPKIT.DLL to your Windows directory using File Manager.
2. Copy A:\VBRUN300.DLL to your Windows directory using File Manager.
3. Copy A:\VER.DL_ to your Windows directory, and rename it VER.DLL.
4. Run A:\SETUP1.EXE from Program Manager.
Note: You must have a site license if multiple users run this program
from the network.
III. TROUBLESHOOTING
--------------------
1. Problem : The install program fails trying to install the SETUPKIT.DL_
file.
Resolution: Follow the instructions for INSTALLING TO A NETWORK above.
2. Problem : The install program fails with the error "One or more Visual
Basic applications are running."
Resolution: Close the offending application. It may be necessary to
press Ctrl-Esc to bring up the task list and click on
"End Task" to close the offending application. If you are
not sure which applications are Visual Basic applications,
then close all programs except for Program Manager.
3. Problem : The install program fails with the error that the THREED.VBX
file could not be installed.
Resolution: Check to see if an older version of THREED.VBX exists in your
Windows or System directory (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\THREED.VBX or
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\THREED.VBX). If so, RENAME this file to
THREED.OLD (for backup purposes), reboot your system, and try
the installation procedure again.
4. Problem : Forgot password.
Resolution: If you forget your password you will need to edit
the file WINWIPE.INI in your windows directory
(e.g. C:\WINDOWS\WINWIPE.INI). Open this file up in NotePad
and look for the line that starts with "Password=" (it will
be in the section labeled "[MASTER]"). Carefully delete this
line and save the file. This will disable the Window Wipers
password and you will have to go back to the password dialog
to establish a new one.
5. Problem : Window Wipers does not start working when started in
minimized state.
Resolution: The shareware version requires you to click "OK" on the
introduction screen before screen saving will begin.
6. Problem : Some configuration settings cause screen savers to run slow.
Resolution: Since PC's vary in speed, monitor resolutions, etc., all
configuration combinations for a particular screen saver
may not work well on your system. Experiment to find those
that do.
7. Problem : Constant disk activity on the "Puzzle" screen saver.
Resolution: Change screen resolutions. Due to this screen saver's high
graphical content it does not work well with some screen
resolutions, particularly if video ram is low.
8. Problem : Some screen savers (e.g. "Mirrors" and "InkSpill") do not
work well with some bitmap wallpapers.
Resolution: Due to the technique used in these screen savers and the
resulting random nature, some wallpapers will have less
appealing results than others. In particular, some 256 color
(and higher) bitmaps do not work well.
