- Manual: Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD
-
-
- Installation
-
- 1. Enter Windows 3.1
- 2. Starting at Program Manager, pull down the File menu and select Run...
- (the shorthand notation for this sequence is "Program Manager|File|Run")
- and at the command prompt type the letter (a-z) of your CD-ROM drive
- followed by install (example: d:install).
- 3. The program will default into the c:\hmapro directory and will occupy
- about 5.5 Mb of disk. You will have the opportunity to choose your drive
- and/or directory name.
- 4. If the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD install program does not
- detect support for Video for Windows then you will be prompted to allow this
- support to be installed. If you choose not to install Video for Windows
- then you will not be able to watch videos contained in Dr. Schueler's
- Medical Adviser (UK) CD. See the READHMA.TXT file on your Dr. Schueler's
- Medical Adviser (UK) CD disk for additional information concerning Video for
- Windows.
- 5. At the end of installation, an options screen will be presented to you.
- We recommend you press OK (choosing the default settings) since all of
- these features can be configured on-line when the program is running.
- 6. After installation, Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD should make an
- icon located in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD program group.
- If you have a substitute desktop program (e.g. Norton's Desktop) you may
- not get an icon set up for you. If this is the case, you can launch the
- program by double clicking on the HMAPRO.EXE file located in the c:\HMAPRO
- directory in File Manager. See your desktop documentation for setting up a
- icon (the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD icon should appear if the
- path is set up correctly).
-
- Note: If you have Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) for Windows (hard disk
- version) you should not overwrite this version with Dr. Schueler's Medical
- Adviser (UK) CD. THE DATA FILES FOR THESE TWO PROGRAMS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE.
- Either delete the version you don't want from your hard disk or allow them to
- exist in their own directories.
-
-
- Requirements:
-
- 1. Windows 3.1 and MPC level 1 PC
- 2. 4 Mb. RAM memory (need at least 2,600 Kb free under Windows). You can
- check your system memory by pulling down the Help menu at Program Manager
- to "About Program Manager."
- 3. VGA (640x480). We strongly recommend 256 color support. With only 16
- color VGA you will not be able to access the image library or video library
- contained in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD.
- 4. CD-ROM drive
- 5. 386-16Mhz or above
-
- Recommended:
-
- 1. 386-33Mhz or above
- 2. 16 bit sound card
- 3. VGA in 256 colors--The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD is designed
- to run in 640x480 resolution in 256 colors. If run in a higher resolution
- (e.g. 800x600) it will still only occupy a window that is 640x480.
- 4. Dual-speed CD-ROM
-
-
- Using the Program
-
- We are assuming you are familiar with the use of a mouse and the Windows 3.1
- environment. If you require additional assistance in Windows, please refer
- to your manual or the appropriate Help section. The Dr. Schueler's Medical
- Adviser (UK) Pro contains help sections at all screens that will describe how
- to use the program.
-
-
- Censor Function
-
- Many of the images contained in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD may
- be considered graphic, especially for younger users. Push the Options button
- and adjust the censor function accordingly. If you choose to censor all
- graphic images, then these pictures will not appear on the image library
- menus. If you have the censor set to anything but "always show graphic
- images," then the Symptom File will substitute a 16 color picture whenever a
- graphic image is detected by the system.
-
-
- Your Medical Records
-
- The most recent copy of Your Medical Records is also installed along with
- Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD. This version of Your Medical Records
- can read older versions of the save files. If you already have YMR installed,
- the new YMR will use the current YMR save file directory as its default save
- directory. The new YMR can read the older version save files, but the old
- copy of YMR cannot read the new YMR's save files. It is suggested that, if
- you have an existing copy of YMR, you use the updated version and remove the
- older version from your hard drive.

- Troubleshooting
-
- 1. Screens looks funny (fonts on buttons are too small or difficult to read):
- We recommend you use a 640x480 video driver that supports 256 colors.
- Check with your video card dealer to make sure you are running the most
- up-to-date video drivers for your card. If you do not have the Windows
- Arial (TrueType font) on your system, then Windows may substitute the
- next available TrueType (this may not be to your liking!). Go into
- Control Panel under Fonts to make sure your TrueType fonts are enabled
- and Arial is present on your list of available fonts. If Arial is not
- present then reinstall the this font using your Windows 3.1 disks. We
- have chosen Arial as our button font for its readability. All other
- fonts in the HMA can be chosen by you in the Options section.
- 2. Printing problems: The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD uses
- Windows Print Manager to perform its printing tasks. Unlike word
- processing programs that contain their own printer drivers, we are using
- the drivers supported by Windows. For this reason you must have a Windows
- print driver loaded to Windows. See your Windows documents or Printers
- under Control Panel to make sure your printer is supported. Ensure that
- the correct print driver is installed for your printer. If your printer
- supports multiple emulation modes, ensure that the print driver matches the
- current emulation mode of your printer.
- 3. Video playback problems (videos are "jerky" or sound makes "crackling" or
- "popping" noises): These types of problems are indicative of a slow
- component on the machine. The three major areas to look at are:
- a) Your CD-ROM drive. The drive should adhere to MPC Level 1 specs,
- in particular the 150 KB/sec transfer rate. However, an unusually
- slow seek time (> 350-400 msec) can also cause problems.
- b) Your video driver. Older video drivers typically are slower than
- the current drivers available. Ensure that you have the most
- current Windows 3.1 drivers available from your video card
- manufacturer.
- c) Your CPU. The video playback requires a nontrivial amount of a
- machines resources to play cleanly, and a heavily loaded machine or
- a slower machine may not be able to provide an adequate amount of
- resources.
- 4. The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD does not allow the videos to be
- played: Remember, Video For Windows must be installed. An easy way to
- verify whether an install has been performed is to start MediaPlayer
- (usually found in the Accessories group), pull down the Device menu item,
- and see if one of the recognized devices is Video For Windows. If it is
- not there, then Video For Windows has not been installed.
- 5. The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD thinks I do not have a 256-color
- driver installed: Verify that the current driver being used supports 256
- colors. This can be done from Main|Control Panel|Windows Setup. If the
- driver does not support 256 colors, install a driver which does. If it
- does, check your monitor to ensure that it can display 256 colors. In some
- cases, the video card will reduce the number of colors to match what the
- monitor supports. Lastly, check with your video card manufacturer for an
- updated driver which correctly informs Windows via the device capabilities
- that it supports 256 colors.
-
-
- Installing Video For Windows
-
- The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD has the Microsoft Video For Windows
- runtime distribution on it. To run the install, use Program Manager|File|Run
- and at the prompt enter the letter (A-Z) for your CD-ROM drive following by
- the command '\runtime\setup' (example: D:\RUNTIME\SETUP). Follow the
- instructions given by the Video For Windows setup program.
