I.Installation Problems.
  (All references to C: refer to the drive where windows
   is installed.  D: refers to your CDROM drive)


  1) SMASH100 is written using Microsoft(R) Visual Basic(tm) v3.0.  
     Microsoft(R) and other Visual Basic(tm) custom control (VBX) makers
     insist that to preserve the license of these controls
     they be installed in the Windows\System directory.  Many
     shareware or other programs do not follow these guidelines
     and hence are in violation of the distribution agreements for
     these controls.  In addition, they cause problems for those
     who do follow the rules.  In order to maintain the license 
     agreement, SMASH100 installs the Visual Basic controls from
     each of the programs included on this CD ROM to the 
     Windows\System directory during the setup of SMASH100.

     If during installation or operation of the SMASH100 program
     you encounter "cannot copy", "Invalid property", or "Invalid
     file format" messages or any other problems, please perform 
     the following steps.

        1. Exit Windows
        2. At the DOS prompt enter the following commands:
	
	   copy c:\windows\*.vbx c:\windows\system
	   erase c:\windows\*.vbx

        3. (optional) type: dir c:\*.vbx /s /p 
           Locate all vbx files and copy them to the windows\system
           directory then delete them from the original location.

        4. Restart windows and reinstall the Softkey 100 Smash Windows
	   Games CDROM by choosing
           file/run from Program Manager or File Manager and type d:\setup

     In addition, some programs copy VBRUN300.DLL and other VBX files to
     other areas besides Windows\System directory.  It is advisable to
     search your entire machine for VBRUN300.DLL and delete any occurance not
     in your windows\system directory before installing Softkey 100 Smash 
     Windows Games.

     This can be done by using the FileManager's search under File\Search.


  2) In the unlikely event that the setup routine fails, manual installation 
     can be done by the following instructions:  [Remember, this is ONLY as
     a last resort, and should not be done until ALL other options have 
     been tried and have failed.]

	
	1.  EXIT WINDOWS

	2.  At the dos prompt ( C:\> ) type:

		C:\> CD \
                C:\> MD \SMASH100
                C:\> COPY D:\SMASH100\*.* C:\SMASH100
                C:\> COPY D:\SMASH100\SYSTEM\*.* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
                C:\> COPY D:\SMASH100\SMASH100.INI C:\WINDOWS
                C:\> COPY D:\SMASH100\SMASH100.HLP C:\WINDOWS

        3. If your CDROM drive is not "D:" then edit the SMASH100.INI and
           change the line "Path=D:\" replacing D: with your drive
           i.e. "Path=E:\"

                C:\> EDIT C:\WINDOWS\SMASH100.INI

	4.  Restart Windows and create a Smash 100 group and 
	    icon in Progam
            Manager by following the instructions below:

		1. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
		2. Select Program Group option and click Ok.
		3. In the Group Name type: Smash 100
		4. Click Ok to create the group.
                5. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
		6. Select Program Item option and click Ok.
                7. In Description, type: Softkey 100 Smash Windows Games 
                8. In Command Line, type: C:\SMASH100\SMASH100.EXE
                9. In Working Directory, type: C:\SMASH100
		10. Click OK to create the Icon.

	5.  If you have further problems, please read the notes above.

   3) DISK SPACE - SMASH100 takes up less than 1 megabyte of hard disk when
      installed on your computer. During installation, Setup.exe copies 
      about 500K of files to a temporary directory.  These files are 
      required to install SMASH100 but are deleted after the setup is 
      finished. It can require 2.5 megabytes to install.  If you get the 
      message that you do not have enough free space to install SMASH100,
      move some files to a floppy or decrease the size of your swap file
      until you have completed the installation then you can put them back.
