TROUBLESHOOTING:
To add your pictures to the Diary:
You can add your own pictures into the Diary. Just follow the
steps below:
1. Create a new picture that is 100x100 pixels in size.
2. Save your picture as a PICT (or BMP) file and name it
Lxxxxxx.PCT (or .BMP)
Your filename has to start with an "L"!
3. Resize your picture to be 50x50 pixels in size.
4. Save your picture as a PICT (or BMP) file and name it
Txxxxxx.PCT (or .BMP)
Your filename has to start with a "T" and the rest of
the name has to be exactly the same as the Lxxxxxx.PCT
name. For example:
Lmydog.pct
Tmydog.pct
5. Copy both of these files into your PICS directory. To
find the PICS folder on your hard drive, open the folder
called "Let's Talk About Me". There will be a folder with
your name on it. Open this folder. Then open the folder
called PICS. Copy both your files into this directory.
6. Go into the Diary and select My Pictures to see all your
pictures you can add to your diary!
Notes About Custom Pictures in the Diary:
1. Your display must be running 256 colors to access your
pictures in the Diary.
2. If you save Diary pages with your custom pictures, do
not delete your custom pictures from your PICS folder.
I can't get into the Salon-a-tron:
1. If you are running Windows in higher than 256 colors, you
cannot use the Salon-a-tron. Quit Let's Talk About ME! Too
and change your color settings in Windows. Refer to your
Windows manual for instructions on changing your color depth.
____________________________________________________________
My pictures don't show up in the Salon-a-tron list:
1. Make sure you put your pictures into the right folder.
Using Explorer or File Manager, locate the folder on your
hard drive where Let's Talk About ME! Too is installed.
Open that folder. There should be a folder with your
log-in name. Open that folder. Open the Hairstuf folder,
then the toTrim folder. Copy your files into the toTrim
folder. These files will only be available when you use
this login name.
2. Your files need to be in PICT format with the .PCT file
extension or Bitmap format with the .BMP file extension.
(Example: ME.PCT) If they are in some other format you
will need a graphics program to change them to PICT or BMP.
3. If your pictures are larger than 500K in size they will not
appear in the Salon-a-tron list. Edit your pictures using
any popular graphics program to reduce the size. If you make
your picture smaller, decrease the resolution or decrease
the color depth, the file size will generaly decrease as well.
