Please take a minute to read over the following information. It has been provided to help you configure and optimize your system.
This program was designed to function on a Macintosh computer equipped with no less than 6 meg of free or available RAM, a 13 inch color monitor (640 x 480 pixels), and a CD-ROM drive. The access time for animations and QuickTime¬ movies will vary based on the speed of your CD-ROM drive.
Check to see if you have a copy of QuickTime¬ installed on your computer. If you are unsure, the QuickTime¬ extension can be found in the Extensions folder located inside the System Folder of your Macintosh hard drive. If QuickTime¬ is not installed (or you are still unsure), we have provided a current version on this CD-ROM.
The QuickTime Installer can be found in the "QuickTime Install" folder located in the "Idea Source" folder. After installation is finished, restart your Macintosh to activate QuickTime¬.
If you're using System 7, make sure the ╥Virtual Memory╙ is turned OFF. This setting is found under the ╥Control Panels╙ and the icon titled ╥Memory╙. Remember to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Make sure that the driver software used to access your CD-ROM drive is as up-to-date as possible. Check the version number and contact the manufacturer of the CD-ROM drive for upgrades. If you are using a CD-ROM drive that has multiple speed setting, make sure that the driver software is set to the fastest possible speed.
Network users - To insure smooth performance of all program files, make sure that your network options are turned off. This can be done by selecting "Chooser" from the Apple menu and clicking the appletalk option to "inactive".
