(All references to C: refer to the drive where Windows is installed. D: refers to your CDROM drive) 1) CyberPanel 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, CYBERPNL installs the Visual Basic controls from each of the programs included on this CD ROM to the Windows\System directory during the setup of CYBERPNL. If during installation or operation of the CYBERPNL 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 CYBERdelic CDROM by choosing file/run from Program Manager or File Manager and typing 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 occurence not in your Windows\system directory before installing the CyberPanel. 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 following these 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 \CYBERPNL C:\> COPY D:\CYBERPNL\*.* C:\CYBERPNL C:\> COPY D:\CYBERPNL\SYSTEM\*.* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM C:\> COPY D:\CYBERPNL\CYBERPNL.INI C:\WINDOWS C:\> COPY D:\CYBERPNL\CYBERPNL.HLP C:\WINDOWS 3. If your CDROM drive is not "D:" then edit the CYBERPNL.ini file. Change the line "Path=D:\" replacing D: with your drive i.e. "Path=E:\" C:\> EDIT C:\WINDOWS\CYBERPNL.INI 4. Restart Windows and create a CyberPanel group and icon in Program 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: CYBERdelic Screen Savers 4. Click Ok to create the group. 5. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New 6.

Click OK to create the Icon. 5. If you have further problems, please read the notes above. 3) DISK SPACE - CYBERPNL takes up less than 1 megabyte of harddisk when installed on your computer. During installation, Setup.exe copies about 500K of files to a temporary directory. These files are required to install CYBERPNL but are deleted after the setup is finished. It can require 1.5 megabytes to install. If you get the message that you do not have enough free space to install CYBERPNL, 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. _________________________________________________________________________________ II.
