- Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer Release Notes
- 5-Nov-97
-
- Software and Hardware Requirements
-
- The Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer requires Windows 3.1 or later (or
- Windows for Workgroups) running in enhanced mode or Windows 95 or NT. It will
- run with virtually any display, but for the best results, you should configure
- your display for 256 or more colors.
-
- Installation
-
- To install the Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer from a floppy disk,
- bring up Windows and run the file INSTALL.EXE on the disk. This will copy
- the appropriate files to your disk and create a program group for Slide Show
- Viewer.
-
- Uninstallation
-
- To uninstall the Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer, simply delete the
- Viewer directory and all the files in it. The installer makes no changes
- to your system files.
-
- Running the Digital Light & Color Slide Show Viewer -- Quick Start
-
- To run the viewer, simply double-click its icon. To load a slide show for
- viewing click the menu icon in the upper left corner of the screen and select
- "Load Slide Show ...". Then select the name of the slide show you wish to
- view and click OK. The viewer will then load the slide show and display an
- overview of the images it contains. To view an image full-screen, just click
- on it. To play all the images in sequence, select "Auto Play" from the menu.
- For more detailed instructions, press the F1 key to bring up the slide show
- viewer help file.
-
- Installation of DLL files -- Possible DLL conflicts
-
- To avoid conflicts with other programs, the installation program normally
- installs its DLL files in the Viewer directory you specify. These DLL
- files contain software packages supplied by other vendors. Because of the
- way Windows searches for DLLs, if there is an earlier, obsolete version
- of one of the DLLs located in your Windows or Windows System directories,
- these obsolete versions will override the ones in the Viewer directory.
- The files in question are the following:
-
- XQUERYW.DLL Pegasus Imagaging Corp. JPEG decompression library
- JEWIN.DLL
-
- If versions of any of these files exist in your WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- directories, you have several choices:
-
- 1) You can move the versions of these files from your Viewer directory to
- your Windows directory. This ensures that all your applications are using
- the latest version of the DLLs, but it may cause problems with other
- applications which happen to use the same DLLs, but for one reason or
- another do not work properly with the latest version.
-
- 2) You can move the obsolete DLLs to the directories of the applications
- that require them. This is the safest technique.
-
- Be careful when installing new applications. Some installation programs
- do not properly check version numbers - if they copy DLLs to your WINDOWS
- or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories, they can potentially overwrite newer
- versions of the same DLLs.
