Following are the instructions to install the program on any Windows platform. You need about 6 megabytes of free hard drive space for the complete installation. And, you must have the CD-ROM in the drive whenever you run An Electronic Companion.

(1) Insert the product CD-ROM.

(5) Start the program by double clicking the PRECALC.EXE in the folder you specified, or use the icon or shortcut that was placed in your Program Manager group or START menu.

(6) For best onscreen results, set your display to use small fonts. Video resolution will be improved if your display can be set to 16-bit color. Also, with some hardware configurations, you may get better printing results if your display is set to 16-bit color. To make changes to display settings in Windows, go to Control Panel/Display.

(7) In Windows98 and some printers you may experience difficulties printing. In such cases, go to the START menu/ Settings/ Printers and select the target printer. Under the File menu is the command Document Defaults..., where you must change the default document orientation from Portrait to Landscape.

(8) To remove this Electronic Companion from your system, use the uninstaller provided with the application. An icon or shortcut to launch the uninstaller can be found in your Windows 3.1 Program Manager group or Windows 95/98 START menu. Finally, delete the A3W_data folder that was created in C:\Windows.

(9) In Windows 95/98 and some display driver configurations you may experience a system error when you try to run the program and/or when you try to run the QuickTime sample movie during installation. In such cases go to the START menu/ Settings/ Control Panel and open the System control panel. At top of that screen, click the Performance tab. Click the Graphics button at the bottom of the screen. The Advanced Graphics settings window should open. If the Hardware Acceleration is set to anything other than None, you must move it to None. Click okay and close. Restart and run the Electronic Companion again.
