System Requirements
This product is designed specifically for color inkjet printers. It will not perform properly on laser or any other type of printers.
Windows 95:
66 MHz 486 or faster, 16 MB RAM, 256-color Super VGA monitor, 4X CD-ROM drive or faster, Mouse

Windows 95
1. AutoPlay
If you do not have the Windows 95 AutoPlay feature for CDroms enabled you may start your HIJK software in one of two ways. Open "My Computer", open the icon representing your CD drive then double click the HIJK icon to start your application. Or go to the "Task Bar" then "Run" then type in the path name of the executable (*.exe). It should look something like this, D:\Awards.exe, if your CD drive is drive D and you have the Certificates & Awards CD-ROM in your drive.
2. Operating System
HIJK software runs on Windows 95 and/or Macintosh OS computers only, Windows NT and Windows 3.x operating systems are not supported.
3. Exit
Some portions of our software do not exhibit the OPTIONS menu and so there is no EXIT feature available. User's may exit the application by pressing the keys Alt+f4 or esc or by advancing in the program until the OPTIONS menu becomes available then select SHOWOPTIONS/EXIT.
4. Task Bar
In some applications the task bar will indicate that two copies of the application are running. In fact it is just one copy and will not effect the performance of your software.
5. Business Calendar Kit - Notes on horizontal calendars
On the screen where the user selects either a horizontal or vertical layout the horizontal calendar shows a "Notes" area. There is not a notes area for the horizontal calendars, only the vertical calendars.
6. HP 500c inkjet
The HP 500c inkjet printer is currently not supported in our software. For the latest information please visit our Website or contact technical support.
7. Crash when CD is no longer in the drive
Your HIJK software runs entirely from the CD-ROM. If you remove the CD from the drive before exiting the application a system error may occur causing your computer to crash. Always leave the CD in the drive while the application is running.
8. Monitor settings
Your HIJK software is designed to operate with monitors set at 256 colors or higher. If you experience problems when your monitor is set to high color (16 bit) or true color (32 bit) then try changing the setting to 256 color (8 bit).
Macintosh
1. Monitor set to 256 colors*
Minimal requirements call for a "13 inch monitor @ 256 colors", however the screen images appear much better on a monitor set higher. Set your monitor to thousands or millions of colors for best results.
2. Saving or Opening a file
When you save (or Save As...) a file you are saving a "Start Up" file, use these to save what you want to start up with when you launch the application next time. Note that you must double click on the saved files icon to launch the application and view what you have saved, choosing File/Open... from the application will not work for these files.
3. Selecting a Web Browser
In preferences you may select a Web browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer. This dialogue box does not exclude other applications so be sure that you are selecting an internet browser.
4. Disappearing cursor
In Party in a Printer! if you select a new art style after entering a custom message in the small card of another style you will not see a blinking cursor in the new blank card. You may still enter your message by typing or go to one of the standard greetings then back custom message to regain the blinking cursor.
5. Apple StyleWriter 1200
The Apple StyleWriter 1200 printer is currently not supported in our software. For the latest information please visit our Website or contact technical support.
