*********** IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS *************
READ THIS NOW TO COMPLETE INSTALLATION!
Welcome to the PC PictureBox Sampler. This screen saver
includes several images from each of our collections. To
order the complete collections, see the order form at the
end of these instructions. To print this file, select the
File Print command in Notepad.
HOW TO START THE SCREENSAVER:
Your screen saver program has been copied into the
Windows(tm) Desktop of the Control Panel. However, it has
not been activated. Activating your screen saver is easy,
and requires three steps as follows:
I. Load the Control Panel
II. Run the Desktop option
III. Select the "PictureBox" screen saver
=========================================================
I. Load the Control Panel
The Control Panel is generally found in the MAIN group of
your Program Manager. Execute the Control Panel by double
clicking the Control Panel icon.
If you cannot find the MAIN group or the Control Panel
icon, you can run the control panel from the File Manager
by double clicking CONTROL.EXE in your main Windows
directory (usually called WINDOWS). You can also run the
control panel by pulling down the "File" menu item in the
Program Manager and selecting the "Run" command. Enter
CONTROL.EXE in the run dialog box.
=========================================================
II. Run the Desktop option
After you have started the control panel, you will see a
series of icons. One of these icons will be labeled
"Desktop". To run the Desktop option of the control panel,
double click the Desktop icon in the Control Panel.
=========================================================
III. Select the "PictureBox" screen saver
When you start the Desktop option of the control panel, a
dialog box will appear. Look in the middle of the dialog
box for the 'Screen Saver' options. Next to the "Name:"
option, you will see a down arrow. Click on this arrow
with your mouse to see the list of screen savers on your
computer. Select the PictureBox screen saver from the
list. The exact name of the screen saver will be the
same as on the installation disk. You can also select
from the list by using the down arrow key. If you want
to see the PictureBox screen saver right away, you can
press the "Test" button. Select the OK button to close
the dialog box and your screen saver is now activated.
SETTING YOUR PASSWORD AND SCREEN SAVER DELAY
You can set the number of minutes before the screen saver
activates by entering a number into the "Delay" option of
the desktop dialog box. If you select the "Setup"
button, you can select a password that must be used before
the screen saver will stop and pass control back to your
windows programs. This security feature will prevent
other people from using your computer while your screen
saver is activated. You can also set if the screen saver
can be deactivated by moving the mouse.
REMOVING THE PASSWORD SECURITY DIALOG BOX
If you are using the password feature, a dialog box will
appear if you press a key or move the mouse. The buttons
will appear in different colors depending on the colors
used in the pictures being displayed. If someone tries to
use your computer while you are away, the dialog box will
remain on the screen to inform you that someone has tried
to use your computer. To remove the password screen, you
need to press the key combination of ESCAPE TAB TAB SPACE.
SETTING THE VIDEO MODE
It is recommended that Windows be running in a 640 x 480
in 256 color mode. If the screen saver does not display
the pictures in the proper colors, you will need to
change the video mode by running the Windows setup
program. You can do this in DOS by switching to your
Windows directory and entering the command "SETUP" or you
can click on the SETUP icon in the MAIN program group in
Windows. In order to view the pictures as full screen,
the video mode needs to be set to 640 x 480 in 256 color
mode. If you do not see such a video mode listed, you
will not be able to view the pictures properly. You can
also use a higher resolution video mode, but your
pictures will not fill the screen. Check with the
manufacturer of your video card.

See the end of the instructions to order the complete
PictureBox collections. If you have any suggestions on
other cities or places you would like to see, please write.
New collections will be based upon the demand and the
availability of images. If you have photos that you would
like to donate for a PictureBox collection, please contact
us. We welcome all photo submissions. Also, PLEASE ask
your local software dealer to carry PC PictureBox products
by having them contact us at (206) 226-0429.
USING OTHER SCREEN SAVERS
You can also use the images in this package with other
popular screen savers like Microsoft Scenes and Second
Nature screen saver products. These other products will
allow you to modify the way that the pictures get displayed.
You can also add together images from different collections.
Install the screen saver normally, then you can use the
image files that end with a .JPG extension in the
installation directory. Follow the directions that come
with the other screen saver programs to add the .JPG images.
USING THE IMAGES IN OTHER PROGRAMS
You can use shareware programs such as Paint Shop Pro to
convert the JPEG image files to a picture format that is
compatible with your other applications. The .BMP format is
common for Windows applications. Once you have created a
.BMP file, you can edit it with Paintbrush and use the image
as a wallpaper. You may use the images in this package for
your own personal use. You may not distribute or use the
images for any commercial (for sale) purpose.
UNINSTALLING THE SCREEN SAVER
If you wish to remove the screen saver from your hard
disk, you will need to delete the contents of the screen
saver directory. You will also need to delete three files
in your windows directory. Look for two files that begin
with the first four letters of the installation
directory. For example if the screen saver is installed
in C:\SEAPICT, then look for two files that start with
"SEAP" in your windows directory. Delete these files and
PGX.INI from your windows directory. You can also run
UNINSTAL.BAT from the original installation disks. You
also need to select "none" as the screen saver in the
Windows control panel.
