INSTALLATION AND IMAGE DISPLAY:
HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION PHOTO CATALOG v1.5 for WIN 95 and WIN 3.1+
1) INSTALLATION
a) Make certain you are in Windows. The installation program
will not run in DOS. Be certain that you are in the proper OS,
either Windows 3.1+ or Windows 95, if you run a double boot
system.
b) Unzip htcat15.zip to a directory of choice which ideally
should be empty.
Windows 3.1+
c) In Windows 3.1+ from Program Manager's File Menu choose the
Run option and type the path to the directory where you unzipped
htcat15.zip followed by setup.exe. Example: type c:\temp\setup.exe
and press Enter.
d) Alternatively, open the directory and file display for
your working directory wherein you unzipped the shareware
archive, and double click on setup.exe.
Windows 95
e) From the Start Menu choose Settings ... Control Panel ...
Add/Remove Software. The installation wizard will find setup.exe
if you type in the path to c:\temp. Alternatively, you can use
Explorer to access the floppy disk, or directory where you
unzipped the shareware archive, and double click on setup.exe.
2) Either accept the default path and directory for installation or
edit to your own specifications. Choose whether or not to install
HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION PHOTO CATALOG images as the default
screen saver in the Desktop Item of the Control Panel. The Media
Album cannot be omitted from the installation but this product
contains a simple one click uninstall procedure whose button
appears on the opening screen of the Media Album.
Notice that the word 'default' in the dialog is confusing.
If you choose this option, HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION PHOTO CATALOG
will be installed as just one of your screen saver choices under
the name MINICAT in the proper alphabetical position. However, it
will become the active screen saver immediately. If you do not enable
this installation option, HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION PHOTO CATALOG
will still be installed as a screen saver option but will not be
active until deliberately enabled by you. See 'Your Windows Screen
Saver" in the album for information about HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION
PHOTO CATALOG as a screen saver and how to configure it.
3) The installation will create a program group called MINICAT
with a single item in it also called MINICAT. You may change
the name of this icon to HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION PHOTO CATALOG
if you wish but there are reasons not to do so as explained in the
manual.
4) Double Click upon the MINICAT icon and the opening screen of
MINICAT is displayed. Notice the long horizontal button in the
right window which is labeled HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION PHOTO
CATALOG. Click on this bar and you will be presented with the
HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION CATALOG album main screen.
If you pause at this opening screen for several seconds,
a slide show of all images in the album will begin in the left
hand window. Notice that you can exit the program from this
opening screen using the Exit Button. See the manual within
the Media Album for additional instructions.
5) IMAGE QUALITY: SUPER IMPORTANT!! DON'T SKIP THIS!!
a) To view these images with all the brilliance and resolution they
contain, set your monitor for 24 bit (16 million colors) if at all
possible. They look OK at a monitor setting of 256 colors but not
superb. If you enable these images as a screen saver, they will look
best at 640 x480 because the images then occupy most of the screen
area.
b) Unless you have an old pre-1990 monitor, you already have
installed software to change the resolution of monitor. Such
software comes with all graphics cards and is preinstalled
when you buy a computer in the retail market. I cannot give
specifics here for the dozens of different graphics cards on
the market. If you haven't discovered this monitor utility, which
will be a Windows applet, consult the manual that came with
your graphics card. If you lost it, call the store where you
bought the computer or the manufacturer of the computer.
