****** Installation ******
Please read the "Read Me First!" file before you follow the instructions!
The first time you launch "7Tuner 1.7," an agreement of using 7Tuner will appear on your screen. If you agree the terms, you can now start using 7Tuner. If you do not agree the terms, 7Tuner will quit itself, and please then destroy your copy of 7Tuner.
Please turn off virus detection extensions before using 7Tuner. For better performance, you may need to turn off virtual memory (includes RAM Doubler) as well, although it is not necessary. You may also have to turn off some other extensions, such as Central Point's MacTools' CP Scheduler. After the successful restart, you can use all extensions as usual.
@Tuning:
1. Make copies of "Finder" and "System" files from your "System Folder."
You can do this in two ways:
A. Select "Duplicate" from Finder's File menu or press Command + D.
B. Option-drag the "System" and "Finder" into "7Tuner 1.7 Folder".
(The included application "“copy” Adder" will change the names of "System" to "System copy" and "Finder" to "Finder copy" if you choose the B method as described above).
2. Make sure the names of two duplicated files are "Finder Copy" and "System Copy", then drag both copies into "7Tuner 1.7 Folder."
3. Make sure "7Tuner 1.7," the "Finder copy" and "System copy" are in the SAME FOLDER.
They must be in the folder. Please DO NOT RUN 7Tuner on your DESKTOP!!!!!
4. Launch "7Tuner 1.7" by double-clicking it.
5. Select "Open Main Selection" from 7Tuner's File menu, or choose individual option by selecting an option from "Options" menu.
6. Select options you want to tune by clicking the correspondent buttons and check boxes.
7. Click "Tune" radio button.
8. If everything goes well, a dialog will appear and tell you the process is successful.
9. Quit 7Tuner 1.7, the program will ask you if you want to rename the "Finder copy" and "System copy" to "Finder" and "System". Click "Rename Now" if you like 7Tuner 1.7 to rename the files for you. If you like to rename the files manually, please click "I'll Do It Myself". After 7Tuner exits to Finder, move the original "Finder" and "System" files from the "System Folder" into the Trash (do not empty the trash at this moment).
10. Move the tuned files "Finder" and "System" (after rename) from "7Tuner 1.7 Folder" to your startup disk's "System Folder."
11. Restart your Mac (the Desktop will appear a little bit slower the first time, and it is normal).
12. If the Finder is operating normally, empty the trash or copy the original files to your backup device. If something goes wrong, drag the tuned Finder and System files to the desktop, and drag the original System and Finder files from the Trash to your System Folder, drag the tuned Finder and System to the Trash and restart. Please refer to "Troubleshooting" file for the instructions.
### If you have tuned the Speedy Mouse option, please remember to change your mouse tracking speed to the fastest to take effect (it will faster than the standard "fastest"!)
@Untuning:
Follow the same steps as Tuning except clicking "Untune."
==== After each tuning or untuning process, you can keep doing other tuning or untuning process until you quit "7Tuner 1.7." ====
### If you untune any option under the Finder's Special menu, the whole Special menu will change back to System 7's default setting.
Please refer to “User's Guide” for option considerations.
