Welcome to James Cameron's Titanic Explorer for PCs running
Windows 95/98.
The epic story of Titanic is divided into three CD-ROM Volumes:
Volume 1 -- Ship of dreams, from conception to her maiden voyage.
Volume 2 -- From contact with the iceberg to the death of a
titan.
Volume 3 -- From the heroic rescue to modern-day exploration and
salvage.
This document contains a summary of installation procedures and
late-breaking tips and troubleshooting information. You should
keep this file for future reference.
We hope you enjoy your exploration of Titanic.

INTRODUCTION
by James Cameron
Welcome to this interactive exploration of Titanic.
During the planning and production of the film "Titanic," I made
it an inviolate goal to honor the more than 1,500 people who
perished aboard Titanic by depicting their true stories and by
honoring the facts. This CD-ROM is an extension of that goal. I
saw it as a unique opportunity to create a kind of living
history, combining the massive amount of available historical
information and documents with film footage which faithfully
recreated events depicting her brief life and heartbreaking
demise.
The program chronicles the hubris and optimism of the Gilded Age
that produced this great ship, the sailing of her full-steam into
disaster, and the aftermath which produced many conflicting
accounts of her sinking. Certain of these contradictions, such
as whether she actually broke in two before disappearing into the
North Atlantic, have been resolved only recently with the
evolution of deep sea technology enabling exploration of the
wreck site. I am fortunate to be one of the few who has seen and
captured the image of the eerie, rusting hulk which is all that
remains of Titanic today.
It is my hope that this program will inform and fascinate and
most of all celebrate the glorious ship called Titanic.
-- James Cameron

TIPS & TRICKS
Here are some tips and tricks you might find useful (and fun!) as
you explore Titanic:
* Full-Screen Display
James Cameron's Titanic Explorer displays in a window size of 640
by 480 pixels. To make Titanic Explorer completely fill your
available screen area, change the screen resolution of your
monitor before starting Titanic Explorer. To do this, open the
'Display' Control Panel, select the 'Settings' tab, and look at
the list of available 'Resolutions'. Choose a resolution of 640
x 480. You can change the settings back after you've finished
exploring Titanic.
Note that reducing the screen resolution may also enable your
monitor to display more colors (higher color depths). If this is
the case, and your monitor is not already set to 'High Color'
(16-bit) or greater, be sure to select the 'Color Palette' list
as well and choose the highest available color depth. Save your
changes and launch Titanic.
(For more information on monitor settings, refer to the manuals
that came with your computer.)
* Search
The Search feature lets you directly search through all three
Volumes of material in James Cameron's Titanic Explorer. You
access the Search dialog by clicking the 'Search' button in the
navigation strip on the Timeline or Browser views. Here are some
tips for using Search:
- To search for content of interest, type a word in the
'Search For' field that best describes what you're looking
for. Punctuation marks such as commas and quotation marks
are ignored.
- For quick results, try a keyword search. Type in the name of
a person, place, or thing you would like to see information
about, such as 'Ismay' or 'Carpathia'. For best results,
type as few words as possible. You can also type words for
categories of material, such as 'biographies', 'photographs',
'quotes', and so forth.
- The 'Search Results' pane can only display the first 300
results of your search. If your search returns too many
items, narrow the focus of your search and try again.
- To narrow the focus of your search, indicate only the specific
media types or Volumes you are interested in. Additionally,
you can specify multiple words, separated by spaces or
commas.
Only items matching ALL the specified words will be
displayed. (This style of search is also known as a logical
Boolean-AND search.)
- To further control the scope of your search, you can also
specify simple non-nested Booleans between search words.
'AND' (the default) specifies that only items with BOTH the
surrounding terms should be returned, while 'OR' specifies
that items with EITHER of the surrounding terms should be
returned.
For example:
- a search for items with the keyword "biographies" would
return:
-> a list of ALL biography items.
- a search for items with the keywords
"biographies AND Astor" would return:
-> all items associated with BOTH terms; specifically,
any available biographies of the Astor family.
- a search for items with the keywords
"biographies OR lifeboats" would return:
-> all items associated with EITHER term; this would
include all biographies as well as all items relating to
lifeboats.
- The 'Search For' field will also accept the metacharacter '*'
(asterisk) as a 'search all' symbol. For example, to get a
list of all the movies, type '*' in the 'Search For' field
and choose 'Search by Keyword', 'Search Media Types: Movies',
and 'Search All Volumes'.
- The 'Search By Content' option can take a few moments to
complete. You can cancel a search-in-progress by pressing
the Escape key once or twice. Current results will then be
formatted and displayed in the Search Results pane.
* 'Full Sound Mixing' mode for Windows
Traditionally, Windows does not automatically mix sounds from
different sources (for example, 'regular' audio (like sound
effects), and audio that plays with QuickTime movies). For
maximum compatibility, Titanic Explorer assumes this as its
default audio playback scheme. However, if you have Intel RSX or
DirectX DirectSound sound drivers installed for your PC's sound
card (these are often included on many newer PC's), you can
enable 'full sound mixing' between different audio streams and in
general achieve a better-sounding experience while exploring
Titanic.
Please note: the following procedure is recommended only for
those users who are comfortable updating system-level resources
(such as sound drivers), and editing system configuration files
(such as Windows config files). If you are not comfortable with
such procedures, attempting to enable 'full sound mixing' is NOT
recommended.
To enable 'full sound mixing':
1. Make certain you have the absolute latest Intel RSX or
DirectX DirectSound sound drivers correctly installed on your
PC. Older versions of these drivers may not perform as
expected. You can obtain current drivers and installation
directions from the following online resources:
Intel RSX drivers:
http://www.intel.com/ial/rsx/
DirectSound:
http://microsoft.com/directx/default.asp
2. Edit one of Titanic Explorer's initialization files as
follows:
a. Locate the file 'Lingo.ini' that was installed in your
'Titanic Explorer' folder.
b. Make a copy of the original 'Lingo.ini' file before
altering the original. If you experience problems, you can
always revert to the original file without reinstalling
Titanic Explorer.
c. Open 'Lingo.ini' in a text editor, such as WordPad.
d. Scroll to the section that begins with
'----- Titanic Explorer startup: -----'; then look for the
line 'global gQT3WinSndMix'. An additional text comment
describing this value should follow.
e. At the bottom of the paragraph block, find the line
'--set gQT3WinSndMix = TRUE'. Enable this setting by
removing the leading hyphens and uncommenting the line.
The line should now read 'set gQT3WinSndMix = TRUE'.
This tells Titanic Explorer your system is capable of
simultaneously playing sounds from different streams.
f. Close and save your changes to the 'Lingo.ini' file, and
launch Titanic Explorer.
3. Edit the initialization file 'Titanic.ini' as follows:
a. Locate the file 'Titanic.ini' that was installed in your
'Titanic Explorer' folder.
b. Make a copy of the original 'Titanic.ini' file before
altering the original. If you experience problems, you can
always revert to the original file without reinstalling
Titanic Explorer.
c. Open 'Titanic.ini' in a text editor, such as WordPad.
d. Scroll to the section that begins with 'Default Sound
Settings'; then look for the line
DLLName="Macromix.dll"
Change this line to read
DLLName="QT3Mix.dll"
This enables the QuickTime sound mixing DLL.
f. Close and save your changes to the 'Titanic.ini' file.
To disable 'full sound mixing':
1. Replace the 'Lingo.ini' file with the copy you made earlier
(as described above); or, edit the 'Lingo.ini' file as
follows:
a. Locate the file 'Lingo.ini' that was installed in your
'Titanic Explorer' folder.
b. Open 'Lingo.ini' in a text editor, such as WordPad.
c. Scroll to the section that begins with
'----- Titanic Explorer startup: -----', and then look for
the line 'global gQT3WinSndMix'.
An additional text comment describing this value should
follow.
d. At the bottom of the paragraph block, make sure the line
'set gQT3WinSndMix = TRUE' is commented out. To disable full
sound mixing, the line should look like this (omit the
quotes):
'--set gQT3WinSndMix = TRUE'
e. Close and save your changes to the 'Lingo.ini' file.
2. Replace the 'Titanic.ini' file with the copy you made earlier
(as described above); or, edit the 'Titanic.ini' file as
follows:
a. Locate the file 'Titanic.ini' that was installed in your
'Titanic Explorer' folder.
b. Open 'Titanic.ini' in a text editor, such as WordPad.
c. Scroll to the section that begins with 'Default Sound
Settings'; then look for the line
DLLName="QT3Mix.dll"
Change this line to read
DLLName="Macromix.dll"
This restores the default sound mixing DLL and disables the
QuickTime sound mixing DLL.
f. Close and save your changes to the 'Titanic.ini' file.
3. If you are having other sound issues with your PC, you may
also wish to disable or remove your Intel RSX or DirectSound
sound drivers using the Windows Add/Remove Control Panel. If
you do this, make sure you have also disabled the 'full sound
mix' value as described above, or audio within Titanic
Explorer may not play as expected.
4. If you are unsure about the correctness of your 'Lingo.ini'
or 'Titanic.ini' files, you may wish to re-install Titanic
Explorer from CD-ROM Volume 1. The installer will include a
fresh copy of the default initialization files as part of the
install process.
* 'Power User' Hard Disk Installation
If you have enough available hard disk space, you can minimize
disc swapping and improve performance by copying data from one or
more of the CD-ROM Volumes onto your hard drive. You will need
approximately 500 to 600 megabytes of free space for each CD-ROM
Volume you wish to copy to your hard drive. Please note: this is
a manual installation procedure that involves copying files
directly from the CD-ROM onto your hard drive. If you are not
comfortable with such a process, attempting a 'power-user'
installation is not recommended.
To do a 'power user' installation:
1. If you have not done so already, follow the regular
procedures to perform a standard installation of James
Cameron's Titanic Explorer on your hard drive. A standard
installation requires about 30 megabytes of hard drive space
and is necessary to run Titanic Explorer.
2. From your computer's desktop, locate and open the
'Titanic Explorer' folder you installed on your computer.
Inside you will see the Titanic Explorer application icon, as
well as various support files and folders. Note the folder
labeled 'data'; this is where Titanic Explorer's
application-specific data files are kept.
3. Now, insert the CD-ROM Volume you wish to power-install.
Double-click 'My Computer', select the CD-ROM icon, and
select 'Open' from the 'File' menu to open the CD-ROM's
window. Each CD-ROM has its own volume-specific data folder
('data1', 'data2', and 'data3', for CD-ROM Volumes 1, 2, and
3, respectively). Locate the appropriate data folder on the
CD-ROM and then copy the entire folder (the folder itself) to
inside the Titanic Explorer 'data' folder on your hard drive.
For example, if you copied the 'data1' folder from CD-ROM
Volume 1 onto your hard drive, the folder structure would
look like this:
{your hard drive} ... Titanic Explorer \ data \ data1
4. You can copy any combination of folders 'data1', 'data2', or
'data3', but for any given folder you MUST copy the entire
folder.
5. The next time you run James Cameron's Titanic Explorer, data
for a particular Volume will be accessed from your hard drive
if possible.
'Power-User' Deinstallation:
If you experience problems after a 'power-user' installation, or
you simply need your hard drive space back, you can 'deinstall'
the power-user configuration in the following manner:
1. From your computer's desktop, locate and open the 'Titanic
Explorer' folder you installed on your computer.
2. In the resultant window, locate and open the folder labeled
'data'.
3. In the resultant 'data' folder window, locate one or more of
the appropriate folder icons (these will be the folders you
previously copied to your hard drive): 'data1', 'data2' or
'data3'. To remove the data folder and prevent it from being
made available to Titanic Explorer, drag the 'data1',
'data2', or 'data3' folder only to the Recycle Bin. Do NOT
delete any files or folders other than 'data1', 'data2', or
'data3', or James Cameron's Titanic Explorer may not
work as expected. If you delete other files or folders, or
you experience problems after deinstallation, you can always
reinstall a fresh copy of James Cameron's Titanic Explorer by
running the installation program on CD-ROM Volume 1.
'Power-User' Install Notes:
- Performance may actually degrade if you copy files onto a
severely fragmented hard disk. For best results, make sure your
hard drive is defragmented before copying data from a CD-ROM
Volume onto your hard drive. (You can use Windows' Defrag
utility, or any of a number of commercially-available hard drive
utilities for this purpose; for more information, check your
computer dealer or online resource.)
- You must copy the entire data folder from each CD-ROM. If you
omit or delete files, James Cameron's Titanic Explorer may not
work as expected, and in some cases may not run at all.
.................................................
TROUBLESHOOTING
James Cameron's Titanic Explorer is designed to use the full
multimedia capabilities of your computer. Performance may vary
according to the configuration of your computer system and CD-ROM
drive.
To experience Titanic Explorer at its best:
* Make sure you have an appropriate system configuration
as described in the System Requirements section. In
particular, make sure you have enough system memory.
* Make sure you have installed the Titanic Explorer program
files as well as the necessary system extensions and drivers,
including QuickTime 3 and the Titanic font 'Arial for
Titanic'. For more information, refer to the Installation
section in this document, and the informational booklet
included with the CD-ROM.
* Make sure you have turned off all background processes,
such as screen savers and networking services, while
exploring 'Titanic'.
* Make sure your monitor is set to display its maximum bit
depth (number of colors). Although Titanic Explorer works
with 256 colors, your experience will be significantly
improved when your monitor is set to 'High' color (16-bit
color) or greater. If your monitor cannot be set to higher
color depths, you may be able to enable more colors by first
setting the screen resolution to a smaller size, down to a
minimum of 640x480. Setting a smaller screen resolution also
has the effect of enabling Titanic Explorer to completely
fill your display as you navigate through the story.
You can change your monitor settings in Windows' 'Display'
control panel.
* If you are using a computer and CD-ROM with an
'auto-insert' feature, such as an Aptiva with a
Hitachi CDR-8130 CD-ROM drive, make sure to set 'auto-insert'
to ON. If auto-insert is 'off' you may see the blue
Windows system screen when trying to change CDs. If this
happens, follow the onscreen instructions and press Escape.
You should quit Titanic Explorer and set 'auto-insert' ON
to prevent the problem from happening again. (To change
the 'auto-insert' setting, refer to the documentation that
came with your computer.)
If you are having problems running James Cameron's Titanic
Explorer, read the following.
Hardware-related issues:
* Video. Many video problems can often be traced to
incompatible drivers for the video board. If all else fails,
it often works to substitute the generic Microsoft SVGA
driver that comes with Windows.
* Audio. In general, make sure your sound card is properly
configured and that you are using updated drivers. Also,
your CD-ROM drive should not be connected to a SoundBlaster
16 board.
* CD-ROM. Make sure your CD-ROM drive is properly configured,
that it is not accidentally sharing a DMA channel with
another device, and that the CD-ROM cache is not too large.
For more information regarding system configurations, please
refer to the documentation that came with your computer or
contact your dealer.
QuickTime issues:
* James Cameron's Titanic Explorer uses a highly compressed
format for storing QuickTime movies (digital video).
Consequently, older machines may not have the processor speed
necessary to smoothly display some video sequences at
full-screen size. If QuickTime playback appears to be
choppy, try selecting the 'Reduced' video size option in
Titanic Explorer's main menu or 'General Controls'.
* Conversely, if the performance of non-video elements
appears to be seriously affected and the cursor disappears,
you may need to adjust QuickTime 3's default settings. In
this case, open the QuickTime Control panel and try changing
from the default "Video Settings (Options enabled)" to
"Safe Mode (GDI Only)."
* You may also want to check Apple's website for the latest
QuickTime updates:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
8-bit QuickTime video color issue (Windows 95 and 98):
If you are running James Cameron's Titanic Explorer under
Windows 95 or 98 (not NT) in 256 colors, you may experience
problems with QuickTime movies displaying incorrect colors or
demonstrating unusually choppy playback.
Normally, Titanic Explorer attempts to enable
'direct-to-screen' video playback whenever possible. This
setting optimizes the performance of QuickTime and QuickTime
VR movies. However, if you specifically have the above
configuration, Titanic Explorer will DISABLE direct-to-screen
video in order to ensure proper color display (at the expense
of reduced playback performance).
In this case, to improve performance, try one of the
following:
1. See if you can adjust your monitor's settings to display
at higher color depths (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel =>
Display => Settings -> Color Palette). This is the simplest
solution and will greatly improve Titanic Explorer's
appearance and performance. Note that you may be able to
display more colors by first setting a smaller desktop area
(down to a minimum of 640x480). Setting a smaller desktop
area will also allow Titanic Explorer to fill your
display.
OR,
2. If you must run Windows 95 or 98 in 256 color mode, use
the special 'in-a-window' version of Titanic Explorer
included on CD-ROM Volume 1. This version allows fast
direct-to-screen video but does not 'black-out' your desktop.
As a result, your desktop may appear to temporarily display
'wrong' colors in the background while Titanic Explorer is
running. To install the special 'in-a-window' version of
Titanic Explorer:
a. You MUST have the 'standard' version of Titanic
Explorer already installed on your hard drive.
b. From Windows, locate and open the 'Titanic
Explorer'
folder you originally installed on your computer.
c. Insert Titanic Explorer CD-ROM Volume 1 in your
CD-ROM drive, and
- open the CD-ROM's icon,
- locate and open the folder 'Titanic8'. Then,
- select all the items INSIDE the 'Titanic8'
folder and copy them into the 'Titanic Explorer'
folder on your hard drive. (Do not copy the folder
itself, only the files inside.) If necessary, click
OK to replace any old versions of the files.
(For more information on accessing and copying files, please
refer to the manuals that came with your computer.)
Important: for best results, you should also set your
monitor's screen resolution to 640x480:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel => Display => Settings
-> Resolution
This will enable Titanic Explorer to fill your monitor's
screen and will prevent color shifts from appearing in the
background while the program is running.
To run the modified program, open the 'Titanic Explorer'
folder where you just copied the files, and double-click the
application (.exe file) labeled 'Titanic8'. (Note that the
original shortcut installed in your Start menu will NOT
automatically run the 'in-a-window' version, you MUST
explicitly double-click the 'Titanic8' application icon.)
OR,
3. If necessary, you can override Titanic Explorer's default
video playback settings by editing the startup file
'Lingo.ini' installed in your 'Titanic Explorer' folder.
This option is typically recommended only as a last resort,
and only for those users who are comfortable editing similar
files (such as Windows config files). Detailed information
is included inside the 'Lingo.ini' file itself. If you
choose this option, be sure to make a copy of the original
'Lingo.ini' file before altering the original. If you
experience problems, you can always revert to the original
file without reinstalling Titanic Explorer.
Font issues:
If you do not see the iconic symbols used in some text
displays to indicate media types, locations, and views (for
example, the 'eye' symbol or the '1', '2', '3' bullets that
indicate a content item's CD-ROM Volume location), make sure
the custom font 'Arial for Titanic' is properly installed.
When you originally installed James Cameron's Titanic
Explorer, the font should have been placed in your system's
Fonts folder by the installer.
You can see the contents of your Fonts folder by selecting:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Fonts
or directly open the Fonts folder on your boot drive
(for example, [your boot drive]:\Windows\Fonts )
If the font file is not there, you should reinstall James
Cameron's Titanic Explorer from CD-ROM Volume 1 (note: you
may want to make a copy of your bookmarks file before
re-installing; you can replace it afterwards).
If the font file is visible in your Fonts folder but the font
doesn't display in Titanic Explorer, you may have to restart
your computer for the font to be fully recognized by your
system. If the font still does not show up correctly, the
file may be damaged. Drag the 'Arial for Titanic' font file
to the Recycle Bin and run the Titanic Explorer Installer
from CD-ROM Volume 1 to install a fresh copy of the font.
Operating System and Software-related issues:
For optimal performance, make sure you have installed the
latest Service Pack for your version of Windows. For details
and downloadable files, check Microsoft's website at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Downloads
* Audio. In order for your PC's audio to be properly mixed,
you MUST have up-to-date Intel RSX or DirectX DirectSound
sound drivers installed on your PC.
If you are not hearing sound, or if you are hearing only
QuickTime audio and not click sound effects (or vice-versa),
make sure you have current and up-to-date sound drivers.
You can obtain current drivers and installation
directions from the following online resources:
Intel RSX drivers:
http://www.intel.com/ial/rsx/
DirectSound:
http://microsoft.com/directx/default.asp
(follow installation directions carefully)
Windows 4.0-related issues:
* If you are running in 8-bit color (256 color mode), avoid
clicking while Titanic Explorer is launching. In some cases,
this can cause the screen to display the wrong colors.
