- QUICK START
-
- Getting Started
- - After you install Dogz, you'll see a "Dogz" icon in a Windows
- Program Group named "Yourname's Dogz" (where "yourname" is your
- first name).
- - Start Dogz by double clicking on the icon named "Dogz".
- - This will open the Dogz Adoption Kit
- - You can pet and play with any of the five Dogz breeds and decide
- which one is best for you!
- - When you decide which one you want to adopt, click the "Adopt Me Now"
- button.
-
- Important Note
- - Dogz love to run around on your computer screen.
- - Whenever you let a Dogz loose on the screen, you will not
- be able to click on any other applications until you...
-
- 1) put the Dogz back into the Doghouse, or
- 2) Quit Dogz, or
- 3) Press ESCAPE (this will instantly pop the Dogz back into
- their Doghouses)
-
- In the Adoption Kit you can pet and play with five different
- breeds of Dogz. Once you have adopted your own Dogz, you will
- have many other things to do. You will be able to feed, play
- with and train your Dogz. You will be able to groom them to
- change their color. Over time, your puppyDogz will grow up to a
- full size Dogz. And your Dogz will be able to act as Guard
- Dogz, protecting your computer from monitor burn-in and file snoops.
-
- IN THE ADOPTION KIT TRY THIS...
-
- Picking up your Dogz
- - To pick up Dogz and move them to a new location, click the
- right mouse button while the cursor is anywhere over the Dogz.
- - Don't worry - this won't hurt it. Releasing the mouse button
- will drop your Dogz safely to the desktop.
- - If you drop the Dogz back on top of its doghouse, it will pop
- back into its doghouse.
-
- Dogz love to be petted!
- - You can pet your Dog at any time. To do this, simply click and
- hold the left mouse button while moving/stroking the mouse, keeping
- the cursor over the Dogz. The cursor will change to a
- "petting hand".
- - Stroke the Dog with the cursor while holding down the left
- mouse button.
- - If you pet your Dogz just right and long enough, it might
- roll over to let you scratch its stomach, or even go to sleep.
-
- Sleeping
- - If you leave your Dogz alone for several minutes, they usually
- nod off to sleep. You may even catch them dreaming!
- - A nice way to wake up your Dogz is to pet them while they're
- sleeping.
-
-
- KNOWN MISBEHAVIORS ("TROUBLESHOOTING")
-
- "My Dog disappears from the screen."
- - Like a real dog, your Dogz will sometimes run off on its own errands.
- - Try double-clicking the left mouse button to call your Dogz back.
-
- "My Dog sometimes freezes on the screen."
- - If an important application needs to control your computer for a
- few seconds, your Dogz will hold still or disappear until that
- application lets go. It's nothing to worry about!
-
- "Does installing Dogz affect my system files?"
- - The files that come with PF. Magic Dogz are as system-friendly
- as possible. Dogz won't crawl into your AUTOEXEC.BAT or
- CONFIG.SYS files and mess them up.
-
- "I'm not hearing any sounds."
- - To hear your Dogz, you need a SoundBlaster(tm) compatible card
- installed.
-
- "The colors on my Dogz screen look odd."
- - If you change your monitor resolution or color depth, you should
- quit and then relaunch Dogz to make sure colors are reset
- properly.
