Installation Instructions
-------------------------
Windows 95:
The setup program should run automatically. If it doesn't, then explore the CD and
run setup95.exe.
Two shortcuts will be created on the Start Menu under Programs=>Crayola Magic 3D
Coloring Book. One will run the program if you already have the CD in the
drive (the CD should automatically play when you insert it). The other will remove
the coloring book from your hard drive.
Windows 3.x:
You need to run the setup program "setup31.exe". After the main setup is done, the
setup programs for win32s and Video for Windows will be run. YOU MUST NOT RESTART
YOUR MACHINE UNTIL BOTH SETUPS ARE COMPLETE. If you do accidentally answer yes to
the question "Do you want to restart now?", you can run the installers yourself.
They are located under the folders "win32s" and "vfw1.1e". Run the "setup.exe"
program found in each folder.
A program group will be made called "Crayola Magic 3D Coloring Book" with two icons
in it. One will run the coloring book, the other will remove the program from your
hard drive.
Installation Issues
-------------------
Both Windows 95 and Windows 3.1:
The uninstaller has a minor flaw. The folders where the program is installed will
not be deleted properly.
If you have created scrapbook images, then these will not be deleted by the
uninstaller. This is not a bug. If you want to get rid of these images, then you
will have to delete the folder.
Running the Program
-------------------
Windows 95:
Once the setup is complete, it will run the program automatically. After the
program is installed, if you insert the CD, it will run the program automatically.
If you have the CD in but you are not running the program, then you can run the
shortcut located on the Start Menu.
Windows 3.1:
Once the setup is complete, you can run the program by double-clicking the icon
in the program group that is created by the installer.
Program Issues
--------------
Windows 95:
With some audio cards, if you have the CD in at the start of Windows 95, then it will
autoplay before the audio card is fully initialized. The setup should run fine, but
when the program runs, it will crash when it tries to play a sound. Subsequent execution
of the program should be stable; however, you may need to reboot the machine after this
crash.
Scrapbook Issues
----------------
If you have saved images to your scrapbook using the sampler and would like to keep
these images when you purchase the full version of the Crayola Magic 3D Coloring Book,
then you must perform the following steps before saving any images to the scrapbook in
the full version:
1. First of all, you must not remove the sampler before installing the full version.
2. Next, you must install the full version to a different folder than the sampler
(the default install folders are different, so if you used the default
for the sampler, you can use the default install folder for the full version).
CAUTION: You must not be running either version of the program to do the following.
CAUTION: If you have saved any images to the scrapbook in the full version, the following
step will delete them.
3. Once you have installed the full version, you must locate the folders where the sampler
and the full versions are installed. Under both folders, you will find a folder
called "books". Under the "books" folders, you will find a folder called
"scrap000". You must copy the "scrap000" folder from your sampler "books"
folder to your full version "books" folder.
Now, the next time you run the full version of the Crayola Magic 3D Coloring Book, you
will find the images from your sampler scrapbook in your full version scrapbook. Once
you have verified that the images are there, you can safely remove the sampler from
your computer (the full version contains all of the images from the sampler plus a lot
more!).
