Dangerous Curves Screen Saver Installation Help

To install the Dangerous Curves Screen Saver software and default media, Choose maximum, medium or minimum depending on your hard disk space availability, and click INSTALL.

You may quit the installation at any time by clicking on the EXIT or CANCEL buttons, however any files already installed will remain in the destination directory you chose to be created.  You may return and finish installation at any time.

Installation also checks your video capabilities and installs or updates drivers if necessary.  If this happens you will be prompted to restart Windows in order for them to take effect.  If you choose not to restart, Videos on the CD may not play or play correctly.

After Installation, the screen saver will be launched to get you started.  Dangerous Curves Screen Saver runs as a standalone application in order to provide more functionality than a Windows Control Panel Screen Saver could.  Installation will set your Windows 3.1 Control Panel Screen Saver to "None" (in Windows 95: Desktop Properties Screen Saver Tab will be set to "None").  You may change at any time of course, however, you should always avoid the confusion of running multiple screen savers, because each monitors your system inactivity and will conflict.

Then you will be asked whether you would like to run the screen saver everytime windows starts.  If you choose Yes, you may still change this later easily from with the screen saver Setup Window.  See also Load on Startup.

Load on Startup

If you choose Yes when prompted, Installation will set up your computer to run Dangerous Curves Screen Saver every time you start Windows, by modifying the WIN.INI file.  You may change this after installation by clicking on the Setup button from the main Dangerous Curves Screen Saver window and clearing the Load on Startup checkbox.

NOTE:  You may later want to check the Run= or Load= line towards the top of your WIN.INI file to see that another screen saver isn't also being run automatically, to avoid conflicts.  Also check your Start-up Program Group to see that other screen savers are not being started.

Whether or not you choose to run automatically whenever Windows starts, installation will create a Program Group and after Installation, the screen saver will be launched to get you started enjoying your new software.  Dangerous Curves Screen Saver runs as a standalone application in order to provide more functionality than a Windows 3.1 Control Panel Screen Saver could.  Installation will set your Windows 3.1 Control Panel Screen Saver (Windows 95: Desktop Properties Screen Saver Tab) to "None" to disable other screen savers.  You may change this at any time of course, however, you should always avoid the confusion of running multiple screen savers, because each monitors your system inactivity and will conflict.
