- This disk contain 2 things, a selection of space sound files, and for
- those who do not have a sound card, the Microsoft speaker driver.
-
- The speaker driver will not give you good quality sound, but it's a lot
- better than nothing.
-
- To install the sound files:
- ---------------------------
-
- 1. Change to your main windows directory, (normally c:\WINDOWS)
-
- Eg C:
- CD \WINDOWS
-
- 2. From that drive and directory, run the SOUNDS program from the floppy
- disk. For example, if the disk is in drive A type:
-
- A:SOUNDS
-
- This will unpack the files into your windows directory.
-
- 3. To view the index, load the file SOUNDNDX.TXT into NOTEPAD.
-
-
- To install the speaker driver:
- ------------------------------
-
- 1. From WINDOWS run the control panel, then select DRIVERS.
-
- 2. Click on ADD
-
- 3. Select UNLISTED OR UPDATED DRIVER and press the OK button
-
- 4. Insert the disk when prompted, or correct the drive name.
-
- 5. Highlight the WAVE DRIVER, and click the OK button.
-
- 6. Experiment with the speed and volume settings until things sound right.
- (Note: You can adjust these later using SETUP from the DRIVERS item
- in the control panel).
-
- 7. When you are happy, keep clicking OK to get back to the desktop.
-
- 8. See your Windows manuals for full instructions.
-
-
- To associate the sound files with Windows Events:
- -------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Run the CONTROL PANEL, then run the SOUNDS option.
-
- 2. You will see a list of 'events', such as Windows Start, and another
- list of .WAV files. To associate a sound with an event, click on the
- event, then the wav file you want. You can press the TEST button to
- hear the sound file.
-
- 3. When you have done this for all the evnts click on OK.
-
- 4. Note: Initially Windows is set up to use some sounds that are provided
- with Windows, like chimes and drum rolls. This is what you will get unless
- you pick the new .WAV files.
-
- 5. See your windows manuals for full details.
