I.Installation Problems.
(All references to C: refer to the drive where Windows
is installed. D: refers to your CDROM drive)
1) CyberPanel is written using Microsoft(R) Visual Basic(tm) v3.0.
Microsoft(R) and other Visual Basic(tm) custom control (VBX) makers
insist that to preserve the license of these controls
they be installed in the Windows\System directory. Many
shareware or other programs do not follow these guidelines
and hence are in violation of the distribution agreements for
these controls. In addition, they cause problems for those
who do follow the rules. In order to maintain the license
agreement, CYBERPNL installs the Visual Basic controls from
each of the programs included on this CD ROM to the
Windows\System directory during the setup of CYBERPNL.
If during installation or operation of the CYBERPNL program
you encounter "cannot copy", "Invalid property", or "Invalid
file format" messages or any other problems, please perform
the following steps:
1. Exit Windows
2. At the DOS prompt enter the following commands:
copy c:\windows\*.vbx c:\windows\system
erase c:\windows\*.vbx
3. (optional) type: dir c:\*.vbx /s /p
Locate all vbx files and copy them to the windows\system
directory then delete them from the original location.
4. Restart windows and reinstall the CYBERdelic CDROM by choosing
file/run from Program Manager or File Manager and typing d:\setup
In addition, some programs copy VBRUN300.DLL and other VBX files to
other areas besides Windows\System directory. It is advisable to
search your entire machine for VBRUN300.DLL and delete any occurence not
in your Windows\system directory before installing the CyberPanel. This
can be done by using the FileManager's search under File\Search.
2) In the unlikely event that the setup routine fails, manual installation
can be done by following these instructions: [Remember, this is ONLY as
a last resort, and should not be done until ALL other options have
been tried and have failed.]
1. EXIT WINDOWS
2. At the dos prompt ( C:\> ) type:
C:\> CD \
C:\> MD \CYBERPNL
C:\> COPY D:\CYBERPNL\*.* C:\CYBERPNL
C:\> COPY D:\CYBERPNL\SYSTEM\*.* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
C:\> COPY D:\CYBERPNL\CYBERPNL.INI C:\WINDOWS
C:\> COPY D:\CYBERPNL\CYBERPNL.HLP C:\WINDOWS
3. If your CDROM drive is not "D:" then edit the CYBERPNL.ini file.
Change the line "Path=D:\" replacing D: with your drive
i.e. "Path=E:\"
C:\> EDIT C:\WINDOWS\CYBERPNL.INI
4. Restart Windows and create a CyberPanel group and icon in Program
Manager by following the instructions below:
1. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
2. Select Program Group option and click Ok.
3. In the Group Name type: CYBERdelic Screen Savers
4. Click Ok to create the group.
5. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
6. Select Program Item option and click Ok.
7. In Description, type: CyberPanel
8. In Command Line, type: C:\CYBERPNL\CYBERPNL.exe
9. In Working Directory, type: C:\CYBERPNL
10. Click OK to create the Icon.
5. If you have further problems, please read the notes above.
3) DISK SPACE - CYBERPNL takes up less than 1 megabyte of harddisk when
installed on your computer. During installation, Setup.exe copies
about 500K of files to a temporary directory. These files are
required to install CYBERPNL but are deleted after the setup is
finished. It can require 1.5 megabytes to install. If you get the
message that you do not have enough free space to install CYBERPNL,
move some files to a floppy or decrease the size of your swap file
until you have completed the installation, then you can put them back.

We are aware of a problem with certain computers and changing the
password on some screen savers. Use Control Panel to change the
password where this might occur.
The delay in CYBERPanel is in seconds whereas Control Panel uses
minutes. The provides more flexibility but do not set this below
20 seconds or you will be constantly interrupted.
