Technical Issues
- Calenz runs on Windows 95/98 and newer versions of Windows. It requires a colour-display of at least
16-bit to be view properly. 24-bit or 32-bit colour is recommended for
better graphics. Calenz will take up at about 10-12% of your system
resources, so if you need to run something that need a lot of
memory, shut down Calenz first. You can check the resources taken up by
Calenz by running the Resource Meter program in the Accessories folder in
Windows and then running Calenz to compare the resource changes.
- Calenz runs in the background when it is minimized and is given a idle process
priority so that more processor speed is released for other programs.
- When using the 'random visuals' option, Calenz will load a random visual file
for the interval specified. If you are using Scandisk or Disk Defragmenter, it
will interfere with them because it reads from the hard disk every interval.
Close Calenz or uncheck the 'random visuals' option with you need to run
disk-maintenance programs.
- Calenz will only run once from any directory. To run multiple copies of Calenz
on the same PC, different directories will have to be created and the program
files copied into them. You can allow the programs to access the skins and
visuals from one directory from editing the paths in the calenz.ini file.
Calenz requires the following files to run:
calenz.exe, unzdll.dll, default.s ('skins' directory), default.v (visual
directory). If any of these are missing, please reinstall the program.
