========================================
WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION
STEP 1. Make sure your monitor is set to 256
colors (From the Start menu, choose

and change the color setting to 256 colors).

It is not required, but we recommend it.

STEP 8. From your Program Menu select DogGuide,
Complete Guide to Dogs, and the program will launch.
(You must have the CD-ROM in your drive whenever
you are running the Complete Guide to Dogs.)
OPTIMIZING YOUR WINDOWS 95 INSTALL:
STEP 1. On Windows 95, we recommend that you
leave virtual memory on.
STEP 2. To improve CD-ROM performance on Windows 95,
open the window named "My Computer." Open the
"Control Panel" icon, then open the "System"
icon.
STEP 3. Click the "Performance" tab. Under "Advanced
settings," click the "File System" button.
STEP 4. Click the "CD-ROM" tab in the File System
window. Set the "Supplemental Cache Size" as
large as possible based on your available
memory. Set "Optimize Access Pattern" to match
the speed of your CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM
drive documentation should tell you the drive's
speed.
STEP 5. Click the "OK" button on the File System
window, then click the "OK" button in the System
window. At this point, Windows 95 will restart,
and the changes will take effect.
UNINSTALLING COMPLETE GUIDE TO DOGS

on your computer's hard drive.

========================================
MAC OS INSTALLATION
STEP 1. Complete Guide to Dogs requires QuickTime
and Sound Manager. If you have current versions
of these system extensions installed, you can skip
this step. Otherwise, open the folder called "Put
in System Folder" on the Dogs disk. Drag all the
files inside to your System Folder, where they
will be installed as system extensions. If your
Macintosh asks you if you want to replace older
versions of these files, say "OK," but don't replace
newer versions if they exist.
When you've completed this step, you'll need to
restart your Macintosh.
STEP 2. Drag the DOGGUIDE icon from the Dogs disk
to your hard drive.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have more than a few dozen
fonts on your system, the product may freeze when you
launch it. To prevent this, remove most of your fonts
from your System folder (but leave Monaco, Chicago,
Geneva and New York in your System Folder). Re-start
your computer.
STEP 3. To run Complete Guide to Dogs,
make sure the Dogs CD-ROM is inserted, and
double-click on the DOGGUIDE icon on your hard drive.
NOTE: If you have an older CD-ROM drive or system,
you may notice uneven performance when playing the
movies and slideshows in Complete Guide to Dogs.
You can improve performance by using the Memory
Control Panel to turn off virtual memory, and set
the disk cache to the smallest possible size. After
you turn off virtual memory, you will need to restart
your Macintosh.
UNINSTALLING COMPLETE GUIDE TO DOGS
STEP 1. Drag the DOGGUIDE icon from
your hard disk to the trash.
STEP 2. Empty the Trash.
Complete Guide to Dogs is now uninstalled.
NOTE: We recommend that you do not remove
QuickTime or Sound Manager as these extensions
are used by many other Macintosh programs.
========================================
WINDOWS 3.1 INSTALLATION
STEP 1: Open the CD-ROM in the File Manager.
Run the program "WINSTALL.EXE" by double-
clicking on it.
The installation program gives you the option
of installing Oracle Media Objects (OMO) on
your hard disk. If you choose to do this, it will
speed up the performance when you run the
Complete Guide To Dogs. It is not required, but
we recommend it.

Memory. If you have 16 MB or more of RAM, for best
performance, turn OFF Virtual Memory. To do this,
open the Program Manager. Then open the Control
Panel icon in the Main program group. Double-
click the "386 Enhanced" icon, then click the
"Virtual Memory..." button. Click the "Change>>"
button to display more of the "Virtual Memory"
window. In the "New Settings" group, for the "Type"
entry, select "None". Click OK. Click "Yes" when you
are asked "Are you sure you want to make changes
to virtual memory settings?"
STEP 3. Whether or not you have made any changes
to Virtual Memory, you must RE-START WINDOWS.
STEP 4. To run the Complete Guide to Dogs, go
to your Program Manager and open the DogGuide
program group. Double click on the DogGuide
icon. (You must have the CD-ROM in your drive
whenever you are running the Complete Guide to Dogs.)

installed the OMO player. By default, this direc-
tory is called c:\OMOPLAY.

DogGuide program group.
