QuickTime for Windows(TM) Installation
The National Museum of American Art CD-ROM requires installation of
QuickTime for Windows(TM) for proper playback of videos, audio media,
and slide shows. We strongly recommend that you install QuickTime
for Windows(TM) 2.1, which is provided on this CD-ROM.
QuickTime for Windows(TM) 2.1 can be installed during the National Museum
of American Art CD-ROM installation process or at anytime after the
application is installed.
The QuickTime for Windows(TM) 2.1 installer will search for existing
versions of QuickTime for Windows(TM) and will provide you with the
opportunity to quit the installer, if QuickTime for Windows(TM) is
already loaded.
If an old version of QuickTime for Windows is detected and replaced,
you must restart Windows before loading National Museum of American
Art CD-ROM. If you do not restart Windows, the National Museum of
American Art CD-ROM will display a General Protection Fault.
HELP
The National Museum of American Art CD-ROM includes "context sensitive"
help for every screen. When using the program, just click the "?" button
and help balloons will appear.
The CD-ROM also includes detailed instructions on how to use the
program in the OVERVIEW section available from the Main Screen.
KNOWN CONFLICTS
The Novell CD-ROM driver, NWCDEX.EXE is not compatible with QuickTime
for Windows. The driver will produce an "Integer divide by Zero"
error. The Microsoft MSCDEX.EXE CD-ROM driver provided with Windows
3.11 can be used in place of the Novell driver.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
For 24-hour technical support, call Starpak at (970) 339-7137 or

Please have the following information when you call or email :
* Name
* email address (if applicable)

memory, type and make of monitor, video card, printer,
modem and external or internal CD-ROM drive.

INSTALLATION PROBLEMS:
"Installation fails because Windows cannot create a program group."
In Windows 3.1, you can only have 40 Program Groups at one time.
Try removing unnecessary Program Groups and reinstall the National
Museum of American Art CD-ROM.
PROBLEMS WITH QUICKTIME MOVIE PLAYBACK:
"Divide by Zero error while installing QuickTime."
This message means the system has run out of DOS memory. Try booting
from a floppy disk with minimal autoexec.bat and config.sys, then
install QuickTime. Once QuickTime is installed, restart your computer
in the normal fashion.
"The QuickTime installer cannot delete VIEWENU.DLL (an icon file for
the Viewer Windows item)because it is "in use." Quit the QuickTime
installer, leaving a partial, incomplete install. Restart Windows
and reinstall QuickTime.
"Movies are not playing smoothly, frames are dropping out, etc."
Your software CD-ROM caching may be interfering with QuickTime's'
internal caching. Turn off external caching (for example, SmartDrive.)
Refer to your DOS manual for help with SmartDrive.
"Your audio or video drivers may be out of date." Turn the volume all the
way down during playback of National Museum of American Art CD-ROM. If
the video plays smoothly without the sound, then the problem probably
resides with your sound or video card. Refer to the instruction manuals
for these cards for help diagnosing and resolving driver problems. Obtain
the latest drivers for your sound and video cards from the manufacturers.
"Virtual memory may be interfering with QuickTime's' internal caching."
If you have sufficient memory to run the program without it, turn off
virtual memory.
"You may be using the Microsoft Speaker driver which does not allow sound
and video to play at the same time." Contact your computer hardware
manufacturer or Microsoft for information on replacement drivers.
"Your computer may not be running in Turbo mode." Make sure the turbo
button on the front of your computer is on.
"There may be a DMA conflict between hardware components in your computer"
Reconfigure the drivers for your hardware so there are no overlapping DMA
assignments. Refer to the instructions/manuals for your hardware
components for help with reconfiguration.
PLAYBACK TIPS:
The National Museum of American Art CD-ROM is designed for optimal viewing
at true color setting or at millions of colors and with 4x or faster CD-ROMs.
The National Museum of American Art CD-ROM is designed for optimal
viewing at 640 x 480.
For Best Performance:
The NMAA CD-ROM has been designed to allow it to execute entirely from
a hard disk. This option requires at least 650 MBytes of free space on
the target hard drive.
Use the Win95 Explorer or Windows 3.1 File Manager to open the NMAA CD-ROM.
Double-click on the NMAA Installer icon. Select the Basic option
and complete the installation process. Then, copy ALL of the contents of
the NMAA/Data directory on the CD-ROM to the Data directory created on your hard
disk during the installation process. Start NMAA normally by double-
clicking on the NMAA.EXE icon on your hard disk in the directory created
during installation.
NOTE: You must still have the NMAA CD-ROM in your CD-ROM player to use this
option.
