-
- Installing CD-Runner
-
- 1. Review the System Requirements(sysreq.txt) to ensure that your system
- is compatible with this product.
- 2. Copy the CD-Runner download file into an empty installation directory
- (such as C:\TEMP) and unzip. NOTE: Make sure that your temporary
- installation directory name does NOT include wildcards or special
- characters!
- 3. From the Windows Explorer or File Manager run setup.exe.
- 4. You may delete the installation files upon completion of setup.
-
- HINT: If you load a CD-ROM (NOT Audio disc) in your drive(s) before
- installing CD-Runner, the Setup will automatically choose your drive
- letter(s)!
-
- HELP!!!
-
- Once you've entered the CD-Runner program, screen-sensitive Help is
- available at all times by pressing F1. Both a mouse-sensitive graphic
- screen with brief text pop-ups, as well as detailed information will be
- displayed.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Cool Tips!!!
-
- #1 Mouse! CD-Runner makes maximum possible use of your mouse. Displays are
- LOADED with 'hot spots', which when either right- or left-clicked do
- all kinds of fun things(which are also available via menus). Feel free to
- play. To guide you, note that your mouse pointer will change shape whenever
- you guide it over a hot spot.
-
- #2 Audio CDs - Quick Editing: For quick and easy entering of audio CD
- library info, without having to place the CD in the drive for editing:
-
- * Place the CD in the drive with CD-Runner loaded.
- * Using the Library button, enter the album name into the library.
- * You can now go back to the library at any time and enter additional
- album info, without having to enter the CD in the drive.
-
- #3 CD-ROMs - Clear you Windows Desktop: For any CD-ROM applications
- registered in the CD-Runner Library, any Windows Program Groups or icons
- associated with the programs may be deleted as CD-Runner will automatically
- identify and launch your CD. Why clutter up your desktop?
-
- Note: When entering a new CD-ROM that you may already have installed to
- your hard drive, it isn't necessary to run the "Install CD-ROM" utility.
- Instead, use the "CD-ROM Library" to locate the program on your hard drive
- and enter it into the database.
-
- #4 Palette Size? Those of us who run CD-ROM games and Enhanced Video CDs
- have long chaffed at having to reset our screen displays to 256-color
- 640x480. CD-Runner has a built-in option for playing Enhanced CDs as
- stand-alone multimedia files without having to change screen modes. For
- gaming, Microsoft has developed a nifty utility called SetRes which loads
- to your System Tray and makes this changeover at a single touch. This one
- is worth having, and can be downloaded from the Microsoft libraries on
- CompuServe and Internet.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Internet & CD-Runner - Sing While You Surf!
-
- Simply load your favorite CD of the day & launch. The CD-Runner faceplates
- have an Internet launch button in the upper right-hand corner. (This is
- linked to your system's default browser, or can be customised in Setup.)
- One click launches your your net browser! Then you're off to surf, with your
- music running in the background. You can also launch internet via the WWW
- Desktop in the CD-Runner Main Menu.
-
- WinCIM Users: In the CD-Runner Advanced Section of Setup, you may set your
- default browser to WinCIM! In your Windows directory locate 'gocserve.exe'
- and set this as your browser. This will launch WinCIM, and if you're
- currently configured to run WinCIM via winsock.dll, will also launch Mosaic
- and take you to the sites listed on the menu. (Note: Not all versions of
- Mosaic are 100% compatible with all sites. The difference is in cosmetics,
- not function.)
-
- If your WinCIM is not configured for winsock.dll, then whatever may be set
- as your active session will be launched. Many CompuServe CBers prefer to
- load their music and launch WinCIM this way.
-
