- Headbone Sampler CD ROM
- Windows Release Notes
- 9/22/95
-
-
- This document contains information on running the setup program and
- troubleshooting the Sampler CD on the PC/Windows platform.
-
- -----------------------------------
- RUNNING SETUP.EXE
- -----------------------------------
-
- To set up the proper program icon and program group for Windows 3.1, in
- the File Manager choose "run" from the "File" menu. Select the "browse"
- button when it apears in the following window. Locate the "setup.exe"
- file located on your "d:" (or whatever drive letter your CD-ROM drive
- is mapped to). Select "ok." The setup program will create a "Headbone"
- program group and within that group, an icon named "Headbone CDROM
- Sampler." This program does not install any files onto your hard disk;
- instead, it creates a program group called "Headbone," if it does not
- already exist, and adds one program icon. Although this icon will
- always be visible in Windows, you will only be able to run the Sampler
- CD when the CD is in your CD-ROM drive. If you do not wish to run
- "setup.exe" and create the program group and icon, you can run the
- Sampler executable directly from the File Manager. To do so, open the
- Windows File Manager. Open up a window for the drive letter where your
- CD-ROM drive is located. Find the file called "Sampler.exe" located at
- the root of the drive. Run this file by double clicking it or selecting
- "run" from the File menu.
-
- -----------------------------------
- Windows 95 Auto Play
- -------------------------------------------
-
- The Windows 95 AutoPlay feature will start the Headbone Sampler program
- automatically when the CD is inserted into the drive; however, this may
- take a while. Sometimes a very long while. While it's loading up it
- will appear as if nothing is happening except that your CD drive access
- light will blink intermittantly. All you can do is go and get a cup of
- coffee (or glass of milk, as appropriate) and wait for the program to
- begin. If you attempt to run other programs or access the desktop while
- AutoPlay is starting up, the Sampler program may be hidden by windows
- on your desktop or may appear in the wrong colors. To suppress
- AutoPlay, hold down the SHIFT key when inserting the CD.

- TROUBLESHOOTING WINDOWS
- ----------------------------------
-
- Most problems are related to device drivers for video boards, sound
- boards, or CD-ROM drives. Problems caused by incompatible device
- drivers may include General Protection Fault error messages, slow or
- erratic performance, sound distortion or lack of sound. If you
- experience these or any other technical difficulties, check to make
- sure that you are using the latest driver for your video or sound
- adapter. Contact the manufacturer of your computer, video adapter
- or sound adapter for assistance in determining if you have the latest
- version of the driver. The Headbone Sampler CD should be run in 640x480
- mode with 256 colors. Turn off all other programs, including screen
- savers, virus detection software, etc., before running the sampler.
