THE NATIONAL GALLERY
COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE ON CD-ROM
-----------------------------------
1. INTRODUCTORY AND SETUP NOTES
-----------------------------------
The Complete Illustrated Catalogue (CIC) program must be installed
onto your hard disc before it can be run. This is because essential
shared system files must be made available to Windows. However, the
data files which the program uses always reside on the CD-ROM.
To install The National Gallery Complete Illustrated Catalogue CD-ROM:
1. Turn on your computer, and turn on your CD-ROM drive if
necessary.
2. Place the CD-ROM into the drive (printed side up). Wait a few
seconds until the CD-ROM drive's busy light switches off. The
installer should run automatically; if it does not: Exit all programs,
then click on the "Start" button and choose "Run...". Type D:\SETUP
and click the "OK" button. (If your CD-ROM is not connected to drive
D, please replace this with the letter of your CD-ROM drive.)
3. Follow the instructions presented to you by the SETUP program;
you may need to restart your computer.
4. When the SETUP program has finished, click on the "Start"
button, click on the "Programs" sub-menu, and a new "Complete
Illustrated Catalogue" sub-menu should be present. Choose this, and
then choose the "Complete Illustrated Catalogue" menu item.
When the program starts up it displays a copyright message: read it
and click OK. It will then display the main contents panel; click one
of the buttons to begin.
To run The National Gallery Complete Illustrated Catalogue CD-ROM
again, simply place the CD-ROM in the drive or repeat step 4 above.
You do not need to run SETUP again.
----------------------------------------------
2. MACHINE SPECIFICATION AND CONFIGURATION
----------------------------------------------
To correctly run the CIC program, you need:
* Microsoft(r) Windows(r) 95/98/NT4/2000/XP or later; or Apple(r)
MacOS 7.0 or later (runs in Classic Mode on Macintosh(r) OS X).
* Up to 20 MB available hard disk space (for both Windows(r) and Macintosh(r))
* 16 MB of RAM (for Windows(r) 95/98); 32 MB of
RAM (for Windows(r) NT4/2000/XP or Macintosh(r))
* CD-ROM drive
* VGA or 13" (640x480) and 256 colour display. A 32,000 colour
display or better is recommended for optimum image quality.
* QuickTime(r) 3.0 or later (version 6.4 included on CD-ROM).
-------------------------
3. LOW MEMORY PROBLEMS
-------------------------
If the program displays "Out of Memory" errors, then it does not have
enough free main memory in order to function correctly. Shut down
other applications in order to make more memory available.
If you are running Windows 95, try making more disk space available.
See the Windows 95 User's Guide or Help files for more information.
-------------------------
4. CD-ROM PROBLEMS
-------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not remove the CD-ROM while the CIC program is
running.
If the CIC program cannot find the data files that it needs from the
CD-ROM, then it will display a dialog box prompting you to ensure that
the correct disc is inserted into the drive, and asking you to tell it
the drive letter of the CD-ROM device. The drive letter will usually
be D, but on some systems it may be higher (E, F, G...); it is highly
unlikely that the CD-ROM drive will be configured as A, B, or C
drives.
The program will remember the letter of your CD-ROM drive, and should
not have to prompt you for it again. It will have to prompt you if
you insert the wrong compact disc into the drive, if the drive is
manually re-configured to a different drive letter, if no disc is
inserted when the program is run, or if you run the program too soon
after inserting the disc (allow a few seconds for the drive to
recognise the disc).
If the program does not seem able to read the disc, do the following:-
* if the CD-ROM drive is external to the PC, ensure that it is
switched on, and correctly connected to the PC
* ensure that the surface of the disc is dust and dirt free
* use the Windows Explorer to try and access data on the disc
(this program is useful for finding out the correct drive letter of
the CD-ROM device)
-------------------------------
5. VIDEO DISPLAY PROBLEMS
-------------------------------
The Complete Illustrated Catalogue program requires a screen that is
set up with a minimum of 256 colours. However, in order to get the
full benefits of viewing the enlarged pictures, it is highly
recommended that you run the computer in a screen mode that affords
thousands or millions of colours - known variously as:-
* 16-bit screen mode
* 65,536 colours
* thousands of colours
* 32K colours
* 64K colours
* 24-bit screen mode
* 32-bit screen mode
* millions of colours
To view / change the current screen mode, use the "Settings" tab of
the "Display Properties" control panel (Settings tab). To access the
"Display Properties", run the "Display" control panel; alternatively,
right-click anywhere on the Desktop area, and then select the
"Properties..." menu item.
------------------------------
6. KEYBOARD EQUIVALENTS
------------------------------
Below is a list of keyboard equivalents supported in the CIC program
which will help you navigate through the product, and perform certain
tasks more quickly.
Ctrl + F = Find
Ctrl + G = Find again
Ctrl + P = Print
Ctrl + C = Copy text to clipboard
Ctrl + I = Bring Image Windows to the front
Ctrl + B = Add Bookmark
You can also assign keyboard equivalents to up to nine of the
bookmarks. you create.
