-
- Thank you for purchasing my disc, Cooking
- with Dom DeLuise. I know you'll love these
- recipes, and have fun while you're making
- them.
-
- This README file contains important and
- helpful hints for using Cooking with Dom
- DeLuise.
-
- Since we ended up with so many delicious
- recipes and videos, we had to make two
- separate discs. Depending on where you
- purchased my product, you may have Disc 1
- (meats, fish, poultry & pastas), Disc 2
- (salads, vegetables, appetizers, breads and
- desserts) or both!
-
- If you have any problems installing or
- running this disc, don't call me at home;
- call Allegro New Media, instead. Their phone
- number is 201-808-1992; technical support is
- available from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST. In
- addition, support is available from Allegro's
- internet site at http://www.allegronm.com, on

- Installing this CD-ROM on a machine with
- Windows 95
- There are two ways of installing:

- appear on your screen. If you want to
- continue the installation, click OK. The
- installation will proceed.
-
- The second way is to manually launch the
- setup program. This is done by clicking on
- the START button on the TASK bar and clicking
- the RUN option. A dialog box will open. Type
- in "D:\SETUP", where D is the letter of
- your CD-ROM drive. Click OK to proceed.

- by simply inserting the CD-ROM into the drive.
-
- --------------------
- VIDEO QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
- Cooking with Dom DeLuise was designed to run
- at VGA (640 x 480) resolution.
-
- Some video drivers will not play the resized
- video without unusual color changes. If you
- have unusual color changes when you resize
- the video, then try changing your video
- driver to standard VGA (640 x 480) resolution
- with 256 colors. This change is made from
- within Windows Setup (in the Main program
- group) by selecting the driver Super VGA
- (640x480x256). If you still get strange
- color changes when resized the video, that
- means your video driver cannot properly
- support the larger format. Contact the
- manufacturer of your PC or VGA card for
- updated drivers if this problem persists.
-
- The first time you view a video, Windows will
- profile your display to determine optimum
- playback characteristics. The video and
- audio sequences on Cooking with Dom DeLuise
- work best on 486 level or greater machines
- with fast CD-ROM drives. In order to keep
- pace with these videos, it is normal to drop
- video frames and small audio segments on
- slower machines. A faster CD-ROM drive,
- faster processor or video accelerator may
- enhance the playback of these videos.
-
-
- Since the videos on Cooking with Dom DeLuise
- use 256 colors, machines configured for 16
- colors may display videos at a lower
- resolution (the videos will appear grainy).
- If you are sure you have a 256 color display
- adapter but can only see 16 colors, it may be
- necessary to change your Windows setup.
- Refer to your Windows manual or hardware
- supplier for assistance with this process.
-
- Owners of IBM Thinkpad 755CD portable
- computers may not be able to hear the audio
- tracks that are associated with the videos.
- This problem was caused by an update to IBM's
- MWAVE software, which causes a conflict with
- interleaved audio from within Asymetrix
- Toolbook. Contact IBM to get updated
- drivers, or connect an external audio card to
- the computer to hear these audio tracks.
