Microsoft welcomes you to the
================================
MS Home CD MultiLingua Sampler
================================
This CD-ROM is useful for customers to run on their own computers
or for retail stores to display on their computers. It can be run
from the CD-ROM or from the hard drive. If running from the hard drive,
you must copy the appropriate language sampler from the CD and retain
the directory naming conventions (i.e., the English sampler must be at
the root of the hard drive in a directory titled "English" as found
on the CD.)
Cycling
--------
This software is designed to be interactive. However, many retail
stores prefer to run the software from the hard drive instead of the
CD-ROM and cycle through the information automatically.
After Choosing a Language, if the introductory screen in an
individual language Sampler (with the title CD Sampler) is left
idle for a period of time (by default, 45 seconds), it will begin
cycling through the product information pages. If running from a
hard drive (i.e. you have copied the contents of that language to
the hard disk), you can adjust this by changing the setting in the
\[language]\sampler\sampler.ini file under:
Reseller=1
IdleTime=4
(In this example shown 4 means 40 seconds, 5 is built-in.)
Running a demo or even clicking or moving the mouse will restart
the countdown before it will start cycling again.
If you run the Sampler's Help screen, this idle cycling will be
turned off, in order to allow you to read the Help file without
interruption. When you are finished with Help, you will need to
minimize the Sampler and maximize it in order to restart the idle
cycling feature.
Configuration Notes
-------------------
For optimal performance, please make sure your system conforms to
the following guidelines:
Screen Savers
Please disable all screen savers. The Windows 95 Demo will run
better when screen savers are not active.
Running Other Applications
Please close all other applications. The demo runs best when no
other applications are open. Also, do not switch tasks using Alt-
Tab or the Task Manager when running the demo. Exit the demo
using the 'Exit' button before switching to another application.
Monitor Settings
We recommend setting the monitor to 256 colors. The demo will not
operate properly with other color settings.
Video Cards
Macromedia Director, used to build the autodemos, requires video
software drivers and hardware that fully support Windows 3.1
standards. Many video systems, but not all, have been tested and
found to be compatible with Director during authoring and
playback. We recommend installing the latest available video ROM
and software.
Display or Performance Problems
If you experience difficulties running a demo or the display; try
changing your video monitor's settings to 640 x 480 resolution
with the color depth set to 8 bit (256 colors).
If you still encounter problems, contact the hardware manufacturer
to find out if the problem has been addressed with an updated
driver.
