INSTALLATION AND IMAGE DISPLAY:
EPIPHANIES OF THE GODDESS 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.
Windows 3.1+
b) Put Disk 1 (or the shareware disk) into your floppy drive.
In Windows 3.1+ from Program Manager's File Menu choose the
Run option. Type a:\setup.exe or b:\setup.exe, depending upon
whether a or b is the letter assigned to your 3.5" diskette
drive. Click on OK.
c) Alternatively, open the directory and file display for
your floppy drive, or working directory wherein you unzipped
the shareware archive, and double click on setup.exe.
Windows 95
d) From the Start Menu choose Settings ... Control Panel ...
Add/Remove Software. The installation wizard will find
setup.exe on your floppy disk. 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
EPIPHANIES OF THE GODDESS as the default screen saver in the
Desktop Item of the Control Panel.
Notice that the word 'default' in the dialog is confusing.
If you choose this option, EPIPHANIES OF THE GODDESS 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, EPIPHANIES OF THE GODDESS 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 EPIPHANIES OF THE GODDESS 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 EPIPHANIES OF THE GODDESS 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 EPIPHANIES OF THE GODDESS. Click on
this bar and you will be presented with the EPIPHANIES OF THE GODDESS
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.
6) Our E-text catalog (ASCII) does not install: it remains on your disk
or in the directory within which you unzipped the shareware. This file
is too large to be handled by Notepad in Windows 3.1+ or Texto'LE in
Windows 95. In Windows 3.1+, open it in your word processor or a text
editor. In Windows 95, open it in a word processor or Word Pad.
