- LEAKING ROOF SCREENSAVER FOR WINDOWS 3.1
- ========================================
-
- A leak at the top of your display lets the rain run down your screen... as it
- does so, your Windows Desktop will get soggy and will smudge and tear.
- Ultimately, Leaking Roof will clear your screen to black... although this can
- take many hours.
-
-
- Installing the screensavers after decompression
- ===============================================
- Your system must be running Windows 3.1 or or later to use this screensaver.
- The screensaver takes about 26K of disk space.
-
- Setting up and trying out the screensaver
- =========================================
- After copying the file into your Windows directory, open the Control Panel,
- normally found in the 'Main' program group in the Program Manager.
- Double-click on the Control Panel icon and then double-click on the
- desktop option.
-
- You can now select the screensaver from the list presented in the middle of
- the options display.
-
- Click 'Setup' to set up the screensaver to your taste. This screen saver has
- an 'Info' button on its Setup display to tell you a little about it. Click
- 'Test' to try the screensaver out.
-
- The main desktop options display lets you set the number of minutes before the
- currently selected screensaver starts. For normal use, we suggest you set this
- to 10 minutes or more. This is perfectly safe for your monitor and means that
- the screensaver isn't likely to interrupt you when you're thinking or having a
- break. Some older programs also perform long calculations or disk operations
- without asking Windows not to start the screensaver so setting a long delay is
- usually preferable.
-

-
- Other information
- =================
-
-
- Passwords
- ---------
-
- This screensaver supports the Windows screensaver password system... you can
- enable the password for the screensaver from its setup box. While screensaver
- passwords are enabled and disabled separately for each program, Windows keeps
- only one password for all the screensavers you're using.
-
- De-installing the screensaver
- -----------------------------
- If at a later date, you wish to remove one or more screensavers,
- perhaps to free up some disk space, you can do so as follows.
-
- Make sure the screensaver(s) you want to remove are not
- selected in the Control Panel Desktop display.
-
- Delete the relevant .SCR file from the main Windows directory.
- For example, the Leaking Roof screensaver is in the file LEAK.SCR.
- You can delete the file(s) using the Windows File Manager,
- the DOS DEL command or some other file management program.
-
- If you want to be extra tidy, you can remove the setup
- information for a particular screensaver from the CONTROL.INI
- file. CONTROL.INI is a text file which you can edit with the
- Windows Notepad or other text editor. It's a good idea to make
- a copy of it before making changes, just in case, and to be
- careful not to disturb other instructions within in.
-
- A screensaver's setup data is held in a few lines starting
- with a section heading like this: [Screensaver.name] where
- name is the name of the screensaver. Delete the section
- heading and the lines that follow up to the next blank line
- and section heading.
-
- This step isn't strictly necessary but it keeps the CONTROL.INI
- file small and tidy.
-
- Have fun!
