Viewing the CD - The CD was originally designed to be displayed at 640x480 pixels. However, the CD has a feature that allows you to link to the Web and the setting that gives the best results we feel is 800x600, as most sites on the Web are formatted for this resolution. The CD will automatically set your screen resolution to 800x00 pixels when you start the CD and WILL RETURN YOUR MONITORS ORIGINAL SETTINGS WHEN YOU EXIT THE PROGAM.
If you do not want your resolution switched, follow these instructions:
1. Quit the small start-up screen that appears when you first insert the CD.
2. Right-click on your "Start" menu and select "Explore". Locate your CD drive.
3. Double-click on the "TradeUp" application (TradeUp.exe)
I: System Requirements
The CD requires that you have a Pentium 166 or equivalent, 32MB RAM, a 16 bit sound card and a video display capable of 32-bit colour at 640 by 480.
You will need to be running under Windows 95 or 98. The CD will likely run under Windows NT, but we do not officially support this platform.
QuickTime 4 is also required. For your convenience the installer is located on this CD.
(You do not need to install this if you have QuickTime 4 or later.)
While the Trade Up! CD may run under systems that don't meet these requirements, it may run poorly. Of course, systems that exceed these requirements will benefit from faster and smoother performance.
II: Known Issues
If a screensaver is present on your system, activation of this screensaver while the CD is running may cause it to lock-up. If you are going to be away from your computer for an extended period, either disable your screensaver or quit the CD.
III: Troubleshooting
--- The CD runs but really slowly.
The CD is meant to run alone, so try shutting down all other programs.
--- When the CD is run, the movies don't play. They appear as boxes with diagonal lines.
This CD uses QuickTime to play movies. If your not seeing them it means you either do not have QuickTime installed or have an older version. QuickTime 4 is included on the CD. Quit Trade Up!, locate your CD drive and double-click on it. Click "Install Trade Up! CD" and follow the instructions. Restart your computer and you should have movies.
--- Web Links dont work
Is your computer connected to the Internet? Do you have a Web browser? If the answer to either of these is no, then the link will not work. In some cases the link may not work because there is not enough free memory to launch your browser. If this happens, write down the web address you want (or use the "print" button), quit the CD, and open your browser and enter the address.
