- [NOTES]
-
-
- 1. The Opus 'n Bill Screen Saver is a sound-capable
- multimedia product. Sound will run through an installed
- sound card or through the internal speakers of your computer
- if either driver has been installed.
-
- You can check to see if either driver has been installed by
- looking in the Control Panel in the Main Group of your
- Windows Program Manager.
-
- If you don't have a sound driver installed, the internal
- speaker driver can be downloaded from the Delrina forum
- under the Consumer Software Division section on Compuserve.
-
- From America Online, you can download the speaker
- driver file from the PC Forum, Sound & Music library.
- The filename is SPEAK.EXE.
-
-
- 2. The Opus 'n Bill Sampler is not designed to run
- while other screen savers are running. This includes
- Intermission 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 and Screenpeace. The sampler
- will not run modules from other screen saver products,
- although the sampler modules can be added to
- Intermission 4.0 (see instructions below).
-
-
- 3. The following features have been disabled or removed
- from the full-featured Opus 'n Bill Screen Saver to create
- this sampler:
-
- All "Start-up" Options:
- Auto-load
- Auto Blank, Using Password
- All "DOS Saving" Options:
- Save DOS
- Re-Maximize 386 Enhanced DOS Session
- Blank Exclusive DOS Box
- "Novell Password" Option:
- Use Novell Password
- "Add" Option:
- No modules can be added to the Opus 'n Bill Sampler
- "Remove" Option:
- No Modules can be removed from the Opus 'n Bill Sampler
-
-
- 4. The Opus 'n Bill Sampler ships with the same Help
- as Intermission 4.0. So, don't be alarmed if you find Help
- documented for features which don't exist in the Sampler
- (such as the disabled functions -- DOS options, Novell
- Password, etc.).
-
-
- =================================================================
-
- Because the Opus 'n Bill Sampler does not have an Install
- program, automatic recognition of the Winfax Pro comm port
- is not supported by the sampler.
-
-
- **************************
-
- Intermission 4.0 and the full-featured Opus 'n Bill ARE able
- to recognize and intelligently monitor the comm port that
- WinFax Pro is using to enable error free faxing!
-
- If you have been avoiding screen savers until now because
- they tend to bounce your incoming faxes, check out Delrina's
- full-featured screen savers!
-
- **************************
-
-
- WinFax Pro owners: If you also own Intermission 4.0 and are
- used to getting port-monitoring functionality when WinFax
- is set to receive faxes, we offer the following solution...
-
- =================================================================
-
- Owners of Intermission 4.0 can add the two modules
- that are included in this Opus 'n Bill Sampler!
-
- [Adding Opus 'n Bill Sampler modules to Intermission 4.0]
- a. Unzip the OPUSNB.EXE file as instructed above.
- b. Run Intermission 4.0.
-
- ***The following must be done from Intermission 4.0,
- NOT the sampler!***
-
- c. Select the ADD button.
- d. Change to the directory containing the unzipped files.
- e. Highlight BUNGEE2.ASA and SWINGER.ASA
- f. Select the ADD button.
- g. The modules should appear in your Installed Saver list.

-
- Known Opus 'n Bill Sampler Caveats:
- *************************************
-
- [Cirrus Logic video cards]
- Users of Cirrus Logic video cards, running the Cirrus Logic
- drivers, could experience problems with the Opus 'n Bill
- Sampler. You can check to see whether you are running the
- Cirrus Logic drivers by checking the Windows Setup area in
- the Main Group. If the Display reads "CL <code number>",
- then you are running the Cirrus Logic drivers. You can
- avoid driver-related errors you may be having by changing
- to the Windows VGA or Super VGA driver.
-
-
- [No modules installed]
- If no modules are listed in the Installed Saver area of the
- Opus 'n Bill Sampler, when the time has come to "save" the
- screen you will experience a GPF (General Protection Fault).
- Reinstall the sampler, according to the Install instructions
- listed above.
-
-
- [Black screen]
- If the Opus 'n Bill Sampler turns the screen black instead
- of running a module, remove the "Enable Sysmonitor (CPU Activity
- Monitor)" check mark from the "Preferences" group.
- This should provide a work-around for the problem.
-
-
- [Random screen trails during animation]
- If the characters leave black lines or traces of themselves
- during the animation process, place a check mark in the
- "Optimize for 16 Color" checkbox. This checkbox is located
- in the "Configure" dialog.
-
-
- [Odd Colors]
- If the characters seem to be the wrong color, place a check
- mark in the "Optimize for 16 Color" checkbox, and one in the
- "Use RealColors if Available" checkbox. Both checkboxes are
- located in the "Configure" dialog.
