To play this demo of the KODAK Photo CD Portfolio disc on your
computer, you will be using the KODAK Photo CD Player software.
Included on this disc, in the PLAYER folder/directory, are
Photo CD Player software versions compatible with both MACINTOSH
computers and PC compatibles running MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.x.
The Photo CD Player software on this disc has been serialized
and will only play this particular Photo CD Portfolio disc. A
version of Photo CD Player software that will play any Photo CD
disc is included with KODAK Photo CD Access Plus, KODAK Create-It
Photo CD Presentation Software and KODAK Arrange-It Photo CD
Portfolio Layout Software.
Instructions for using the KODAK Photo CD Player software on PC
Compatibles/Microsoft Windows computers are included below.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- IBM PC AT or compatible 80386 or 80486
- VGA display or better
(minimum 256 color for acceptable display)
- DOS 3.3 or higher
- MICROSOFT WINDOWS System 3.0 or higher
The MICROSOFT Windows compatible version of the KODAK Photo CD Player
software can be run right from this Photo CD Portfolio disc. Follow the
steps below to launch the Photo CD Player software:
1) Start MICROSOFT Windows
2) Load the Now You Can disc into a Photo CD compatible CD ROM drive.
3) OPEN the Windows File Manager and BROWSE the directories of the CD
ROM disc
4) Open the PLAYER directory and the WIN directory.
5) Located in the WIN directory is PLAYER.EXE, double clicking on the
file icon will launch the Player.
(The Player software can also be launched using the RUN command from the
Program Manager and typing the path on the command line of the RUN dialog
box, X:\PLAYER\WIN\PLAYER.EXE, where X is the drive letter of your CD
ROM drive.)
AUDIO: The Photo CD Portfolio format supports full CD quality audio.
A sound card is not necessary to hear the audio of a Photo CD Portfolio.
The audio will playback through either the headphone jack or the audio
out jacks on the CD ROM drive itself. If you are using a CD ROM drive
with the audio output connected to a sound card, the audio will also
playback through speakers connected to the audio out port of your
sound card.
*** IMPORTANT NOTES ***
The MCI CD AUDIO driver, included with MICROSOFT Windows, must be
installed to enable audio playback. To verify if this driver is
installed: open CONTROL PANELS and click on the DRIVERS ICON. Scroll
through the installed driver list to verify if the MCI CD AUDIO driver
is installed. If necessary install it by clicking on ADD and scrolling
the driver list. Select to add the MCI CD AUDIO. Follow the on screen
prompts and insert the appropriate MICROSOFT Windows System disc.
Restart Windows and the audio will now play.
In some cases when the Player software is running in the smaller size
window the right side of the control bar will appear to be cut off.
This is caused because the Windows default font you are using is too
large. The situation can be remedied by clicking on the SIZE button to
enlarge the Player display window or by loading a small font video
driver.
Performance of the Player will be increased by running Windows in
STANDARD mode. To run in Standard mode, start Windows by typing,
"WIN /S" at a DOS prompt.
The Player software will not run on a system with more than one CD ROM
drive connected. The software will prompt you with the message "Which CD
ROM drive" and then quit. The work around to avoid this is to reconfigure
your system with only one CD ROM drive and restart.
