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.
