-
- I. INSTALLATION
- ----------------
- If you have an installation diskette, place it in your a: drive and run
- A:\SETUP.EXE. The installation program will guide you through the
- installation process.
-
- If you have a zipped version of the program (e.g. WWIPERS.ZIP) then copying
- this .ZIP file to a subdirectory (e.g. C:\WWIPERS) and using PKUNZIP to
- decompress the files will give you a working version of Window Wipers.
- Note: You will need PKZIP 2.04g or higher.
-
-
- II. INSTALLING TO A NETWORK
- ---------------------------
- If you are installing from an installation disk in a networked environment
- and the above procedure does not work, then perform the following steps:
- 1. Copy A:\SETUPKIT.DLL to your Windows directory using File Manager.
- 2. Copy A:\VBRUN300.DLL to your Windows directory using File Manager.
- 3. Copy A:\VER.DL_ to your Windows directory, and rename it VER.DLL.
- 4. Run A:\SETUP1.EXE from Program Manager.
- Note: You must have a site license if multiple users run this program
- from the network.
-
-
- III. TROUBLESHOOTING
- --------------------
- 1. Problem : The install program fails trying to install the SETUPKIT.DL_
- file.
- Resolution: Follow the instructions for INSTALLING TO A NETWORK above.
-
- 2. Problem : The install program fails with the error "One or more Visual
- Basic applications are running."
- Resolution: Close the offending application. It may be necessary to
- press Ctrl-Esc to bring up the task list and click on
- "End Task" to close the offending application. If you are
- not sure which applications are Visual Basic applications,
- then close all programs except for Program Manager.
-
- 3. Problem : The install program fails with the error that the THREED.VBX
- file could not be installed.
- Resolution: Check to see if an older version of THREED.VBX exists in your
- Windows or System directory (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\THREED.VBX or
- C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\THREED.VBX). If so, RENAME this file to
- THREED.OLD (for backup purposes), reboot your system, and try
- the installation procedure again.
-
- 4. Problem : Forgot password.
- Resolution: If you forget your password you will need to edit
- the file WINWIPE.INI in your windows directory
- (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\WINWIPE.INI). Open this file up in NotePad
- and look for the line that starts with "Password=" (it will
- be in the section labeled "[MASTER]"). Carefully delete this
- line and save the file. This will disable the Window Wipers
- password and you will have to go back to the password dialog
- to establish a new one.
-
- 5. Problem : Window Wipers does not start working when started in
- minimized state.
- Resolution: The shareware version requires you to click "OK" on the
- introduction screen before screen saving will begin.
-
- 6. Problem : Some configuration settings cause screen savers to run slow.
- Resolution: Since PC's vary in speed, monitor resolutions, etc., all
- configuration combinations for a particular screen saver
- may not work well on your system. Experiment to find those
- that do.
-
- 7. Problem : Constant disk activity on the "Puzzle" screen saver.
- Resolution: Change screen resolutions. Due to this screen saver's high
- graphical content it does not work well with some screen
- resolutions, particularly if video ram is low.
-
- 8. Problem : Some screen savers (e.g. "Mirrors" and "InkSpill") do not
- work well with some bitmap wallpapers.
- Resolution: Due to the technique used in these screen savers and the
- resulting random nature, some wallpapers will have less
- appealing results than others. In particular, some 256 color
- (and higher) bitmaps do not work well.
