- Installation Notes
- (This Read Me file can be seen from the Install program and by double-
- clicking on the ReadMe icon in the Program Group.)
-
- Configuring the screen saver
- The Installation program installs the screen saver by copying the
- program files to your hard disk. You now need to run the screen saver
- Configuration program to select the screen saver and wallpaper options
- you want.
-
- To run the screen saver Configuration program, double-click on the
- screen saver Config icon in the newly created Program Manager group.
-
- You will probably want to reconfigure the screen saver from time to time
- for variety.
-
-
- Uninstalling the screen saver
- You can uninstall the screen saver and its media files by running the
- ScreenWorks Uninstall program and selecting the uninstall option.
-
-
- Password Protection and Security
- Although the screen saver provides password protection, this protection
- can be readily bypassed by simply rebooting your PC. You should never
- use the screen saver as a means of protecting secret or confidential
- information.
-
-
- QuickTime for Windows
- QuickTime for Windows was automatically installed to your system if it
- wasn't there already. If you have any questions about QuickTime video
- adapter and sound card compatibility, check the QuickTime ReadMe
- file.
-
-
- QTW with Compaq Q-Vision:
- Call Compaq customer service (800-345-1518), BBS (713-378-1418), or
- Compuserve--GOCOMPAQ for updated drivers.
-
-
- Scaling QuickTime Movies:
- If you scale the QuickTime movies up (make them bigger), we suggest
- you scale them to 200%, and not intermediate percentages like 147%,
- 183%, etc., to avoid adversely affecting the performance of your video
- playback. On the other hand, you safely may use any percentage you
- wish when scaling movies down (making them smaller).
-
-
- Minimum System Requirements
- The screen saver will not run correctly if your system does not satisfy
- the minimum system requirements, which are:
-
- DOS Version 3.3 or better
- Windows Version 3.1 or better (Enhanced mode)
- 80386 20 MHz processor or better
- 4 MB memory or better
- 256 Color VGA or better
-
- The Installation program automatically verifies these requirements, so
- you should not have any problems (aside from possible QuickTime
- problems) if Installation ran successfully.
-
- If your system does not satisfy the minimum requirements, you will need
- to address any problems before running the Installation program again.
- If necessary, you can check your system by running any of the following
- utilities:
-
- Microsoft Diagnostics
- -MSD.EXE in the Windows subdirectory
- Symantec Norton Utilities' System Info
- Central Point PC Tools System Info
-
-
- Audio Support
- A 16-bit audio card is recommended for audio support. An 8-bit card
- may work, but may not play QuickTime videos well.
-
- Although the screen saver can run without an audio card, you cannot
- hear sound effects or video sound tracks without audio support. You
- can obtain low quality audio support by using the PC Speaker audio
- driver, which can be downloaded from CompuServe. This driver can
- play audio files but not video sound tracks.
-
- To obtain this file from CompuServe, type "GO MSUSER", select the
- Microsoft Software Library, search for "PC Speaker", and download the
- file SPEAK.EXE.
-
-
- Multiple CD-ROM Drives
- The screen saver and calendar programs search for media files using
- the CD-ROM drive letter that you installed from. If you have more than
- one CD-ROM drive, be sure to put the Cedco CD-ROM in the drive you
- installed from if you want to use media files on that CD-ROM.
-
-
- Norton Desktop For Windows
- The screen saver is not compatible with the Sleeper screen saver
- program included with Norton Desktop For Windows.
-
-
- TroubleShooting
- Virtual memory is essential for running properly in low memory
- situations. Make sure that virtual memory is turned on in the 386
- Enhanced Control Panel.
