- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. ScreenSaver Installation Program ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Use the Source directory entry field to set the directory from which
- ScreenSaver is to be installed. Default is the current directory and there
- should be no need to change this.
-
- Use the Destination directory entry field to set the directory into which
- ScreenSaver is to be installed. Default is the current directory (except when
- this is on a diskette). You can change this to any drive and directory you
- want.
-
- Use the Destination directory for DLLs entry field to set the directory into
- which the EMX runtime DLLs (i.e. the files which contain the runtime library
- for the EMX/GCC compiler, with which ScreenSaver was compiled) are to be
- installed. These DLLs are required by many OS/2 programs and therefore should
- be installed to a directory in your LIBPATH where they are found by these
- programs. Default is the \OS2\DLL directory on your boot drive. Change this to
- any directory you want, but make sure this directory can be found in the
- LIBPATH statement in your CONFIG.SYS file.
- It is possible that there is more than one set of these DLLs installed on your
- computer. Only one set of the DLLs is required system wide. You can delete all
- but the newest set.
-
- Attention! If there are any programs running that use existing EMX DLLs on your
- hard disk, you have to stop them or installation will fail. Alternatively
- choose another DLL destination directory.
- If you have an older version of ScreenSaver running, shut it down before trying
- to install. It may even be necessary to reboot your computer, because OS/2 may
- have locked the ScreenSaver file SSDLL.DLL (this can happen even if ScreenSaver
- has been stopped).
-
- If the Create WPS object box is checked, a program object is created. If the
- Create in startup folder box is checked, too, this object is created in the
- OS/2 System Startup folder, so ScreenSaver will be started automatically at
- system startup.
-
- Use the Install Win-OS/2 fullscreen support check box to choose if you want
- ScreenSaver to be activated from Win-OS/2 fullscreen sessions. If you choose to
- install this option, a Windows screen saver is installed in your Win-OS/2
- directory. Use the Win-OS/2 "Control Panel" to set its timeout. Please set the
- directory where Win-OS/2 is installed in the Win-OS/2 directory entry field.
-
- Use the Install DOS fullscreen support check box to choose if you want
- ScreenSaver to be activated from DOS fullscreen sessions. If you choose to
- install this option, a DOS screen saver is installed in your OS/2 DOS directory
- (\OS2\MDOS). It is invoked from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file of your OS/2 boot drive.
- Set the timeout parameter in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file; for example "SSDKICK 10"
- sets the timeout for DOS fullscreen sessions to 10 minutes. The default timeout
- is 5 minutes. To disable the DOS saver, set timeout to 0.

- IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ!
-
- If DPMS switching hangs your computer, try changing the BIOS power
- management settings; see ScreenSaver online help topic "Green monitor

- the correct password, please check if Caps Lock is active.
-
- There is support for DPMS ("Green") monitors now. See online help.
-
- If you use OS/2 2.x, make sure there is a dot (".") in the LIBPATH
- statement in your CONFIG.SYS file (this is default in Warp).
-
- There exists a little utility called SSKICK which starts a module when
- executed. You can add this utility to the Desktop menu (see online help).
-
- For available command line switches, see online help.
-
- In this distribution, I have included foreign modules. For copyright
- information see the README file.
-
- A few users have reported problems with some Deskpic modules. If a
- Deskpic module crashes on your system, delete the corresponding *.DSS

-
- Please read the online help topic on "low priority" if saver animation is
