Installing CD's:
CDRunner96 makes this task easy. When a CD is inserted
into the drive that CDRunner96 has not met before, the
program will guide you through a short installation
process so CDRunner96 can "learn" how you would like
it to treat the disc from then on. CDRunner96 will
automatically determine whether the CD is Audio, or
Data and treat it accordingly.
Audio-CD's:
If the disc is an Audio-CD CDRunner96 will activate
the audio player that you have selected. If you are
using the built-in CDAudio Player, you choose to setup
the information about the CD by using the player's EDIT
button. (See Editing CD's)
CD-ROMs:
If the disc is a CD-ROM, and CDRunner96 has not
encountered it yet, you will be asked a series of
questions. If it "knows" the disc, it will be
activated.
Installing:
The first question you are asked is if you would
like to install the CD. Answer yes if the disc has
not already been installed on your system. Answer no
if you have previously installed the disc, or if no
installation is required. The last options are used
to ignore a CD, either one time or every time.
Verifying The Installation:
If you opted to install the CD, CDRunner96 will prompt
you for the installation program and run it. You will
see a screen asking if the installation went ok. If it
did choose yes and continue. If the installation went
bad CDRunner96 was unable to activate the install program
correctly, choose Installation Bad and follow the
instructions that came with the disc to install it.
CDRunner96 will learn the disc later. Either way, do not
make a decision on this screen until installation of
the disc is completed. In the event the installation
program restarts Windows 95, treat the program as one that
is already installed.
Multiple Executables:
If a CD-ROM is a "Multipack", or a collection of files that
require using different executables to run different programs
on the disc, CDRunner96 can handle it. Simply choose yes. You
will be prompted for a Title, for each as well as it's executable.
CDRunner96 will give you a choice of which you'd like to run
when the CD is inserted. If the collection is run through a
menu, or the disc uses just one executable to start, choose
no.
Selecting Executable:
After a CD has been installed on the system, you must
tell CDRunner96 what program to run when the CD is inserted.
simply call it up in the requester. If you are unsure,
check any instructions that came with the disc, or if the
application is Windows based, check under the properties
for the application's shortcut.
Command Line:
On this screen type any command line parameters needed to
run the executable program. Again, if you are unsure,
check any instructions that came with the disc, or if the
application is Windows based, check under the properties
for the application's shortcut.
Finished:
CDRunner96 now "knows" the disc, and will run it. In the
future, CDRunner96 will run the disc automatically when
it is put in the drive.
NOTE: CDRunner96 does not control program properties for
installed applications. You may have to manually alter
these settings for an application to run correctly in
Windows 95. Consult the program's own documentation for
proper configuration.
