*****************************************************************
Amazing is a series of screen savers where you experience a
variety of incredibly wonderful views in or not in the world.
It provides not only animations but also sound effects. A
major difference between Amazing and other screen savers is that
Amazing is designed from the point of art - It is a life art!
In this park, Lakes, You will explore beautiful lakes in various
styles. Enjoy it!
The SETUP.EXE will copy five files into your windows directory:
az_lk.src -- The main executable file of Amazing I - Lakes;
az_lk.txt -- Documentation file;
az_lk_0.bmp -
az_lk_9.bmp -- animation images (required);
az_lk_0.wav -- A WAV file for sound effects;
register.wav -- A WAV file for setup;
saverv.exe -- Savervisor (see description below);
saverv.txt -- Documentation of Svervisor.
utility.dll -- A DLL used by Savervisor
Extra utility:
*************
Savervisor (V2.0 - A) - This is a COOL screen saver and wall
paper
manager. It provides:
- It appears like an icon that allows you launch a screen
saver
instantly by a single click at it using RIGHT mouse button.
It can
be set to always at the top to increase your accessibility.
-* It can illustrate all the screen savers in your Windows
directory
in different styles(ONCE, CIRCLE, and RANDOM).
- It also works as the saver section of Windows Desktop
allowing you select, setup, and test a screen saver within
its
setup screen.
- It provides a very strong wall paper management capability.
First, it allows you select a BMP file as your wall paper
from anywhere of your file system including network and CD
drives and provides you a preview of the selected image.
-* Secondly, it can walk you through the entire file system
including network and CD drives. That is, it displays all
the BMP files in your file system one after another as wall
paper - You can see exactly how the wall paper looks on your
screen instead of a single BMP image(specially, when tile is
set). You can choose from either automatic or clicking to
switch images when BMP is illustrated.
- It also provides some other function such as tile setting.
Note: You can use all the functions provided by Savervisor up to
30 times - then you have to register if you still want to use
it.
There are two ways to register Savervisor:
1). After register Amazing - Lakes in Compuserve. You can
use
the Registration Code for Amazing - Lakes to register
both Amazing - Lakes and Savervisor. you will then
receive
limited functions provided by Savervisor.(The functions
above marked with * are not available if you register
Savervisor with the Registration Code for Amazing.)
2). To enable its function completely you need to register
Savervisor using SWREG #4880 in Compuserv.
Why use Savervisor with Amazing?
There are at least two reasons to use Savervisor with Amazing:
1). Savervisor ebable you to launch Amazing instantly by a
single RIGHT mouse button click.
2). Savervisor provides a easy way to set the background
pictures
of Amazing as your Wall Paper.
Environment requirement:
- At least 256 colors for display;
- VBRUN300.DLL;
- A sound card is recommended;
TroubleShooting:
- Q: I have a multimedia system, with .WAV capability, and
in fact,
I hear .WAV files with most every application.
Why can I NOT hear sounds with your screen saver?
(The Sounds option is grayed out, and I cannot check
it.)
A: The Saver disables Sound option if it does not detect a
sound device that it knows. You can enforce it accepts
you sound system by following steps:
1). disable (turn off) the saver;
2). open (double click at icon of) file
c:\windows\az_lk.ini
(assuming c:\windows is your Windows directory)
in
your windows File Manager;
3). change
EnforceSoundOn= 0
into
EnforceSoundOn= 1
4). save and close the file;
5.) bring up the setup screen of the saver;
6). check (enable) field "Sound On";
7). click at OK to exit the setup screen of the
saver;
