Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Installation Tips:

Starts Here assumes that Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 is properly installed on your computer.  Here are some things to check to ensure that Starts Here will function properly:

* Users have at least minimum User privileges.
* One lesson requires Power User privileges.

If you need to print the lessons/documents, you must be connected to a printer. You may notice improper page layout on some dot matrix printers.


Setup:

* Autorun may not work on some CD changers.
* After Starts Here is installed, ActiveMovie(TM) is automatically installed.
* Administrator privileges are required for setup on Windows NT.
* The maximum path length for installation is 57 characters.


Re-install option:

Problem: 
* The re-install option in setup may be unable to repair a damaged installation.

Workaround:
* Remove the damaged installation by running setup from the Starts Here CD-ROM.  Select the Remove All option.
* Re-run setup from the Starts Here CD-ROM to create a new installation.


Palette Flashes:

Problem: 
* Some videos may cause palette flashes on systems using a 256-color display mode.

Workaround:
* Change to high color (16 bit/65536 colors) or higher, or
* Remove the desktop background bitmap.


Banyan Vines Client for Windows NT 4.0 Users:

*** Network installations may fail due to a problem resolving UNC path names. ***

Problem #1:
* An error dialog appears that says that ActiveMovie needs to be installed.
* Introduction and lesson videos will not play.

Workaround:
ActiveMovie can be installed manually using the following steps:
* In Windows NT Explorer or from the command prompt, open the network path to the Starts Here setup location.
* Open the folder \System.
* Run Amovie.exe.

Problem #2:
* Error message on startup: "Either the CD-ROM or your Network is not available...." The Registry, by default, stores the Media Path as a UNC \\server\share. The Banyan client for Windows NT 4.0 may be unable to resolve this.

Workaround:	
* Map a drive letter to the UNC \\server\share.
* From the Start Menu, run Regedit.
* Open this pathway:                                               "My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft NT Workstation 4.0 Starts Here".
* Double-click on the key field: "MediaPath".
* In the "Value Data" field substitute the new drive letter for the \\server\share portion of the entry.
