For Windows
Installation
- In the Program Manager for Windows 3.10 or 3.11, click on the File menu
then select Run. In the dialogue box which appears, type ½D:\ORSAY╗ and
press Enter (if your CD-ROM drive is not D: replace the ½D╗ with the relative
letter)
- In Explorer for Windows 95, click on the CD-ROM drive icon, then click on
½ORSAY.exe╗.
Exit
- To quit the application, click anywhere on the screen or press the ALT and

256/thousands of colors
The Orsay demonstration runs on 256 color or thousands of colors displays.
To set your display in 256 or in thousands of colors mode, use the appropriate
utility:
- for Windows 3.0 or 3.1, the utility supplied by the graphic card
manufacturer or in the Program Manager, Windows installation.
- for Windows 95, click with the right button on the background of the screen,
then select ½characteristics╗ in the scrolling menu which is displayed. You
now access to the display setting parameters.
For more information, consult your computer users' guide.
ò Memory
To free a maximum of memory, quit all applications in use, resident
programs, background tasks (network, fax modem...) before launching Orsay.
If that isn't enough, try freeing the system of all unnecessary elements by
editing, if needed, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG. SYS, the Windows Start-up
group, then restart.
If you still need more memory, create or increase the virtual memory of your
system which use the free space on your disk to stimulate RAM memory.
In the Main Group, see Configuration Panel.
Please note, this operation can significantly slow down the application.
For more information, consult your computer user's guide.
ò Suggestions
* If, when running, the program sometimes sends an error message, i.e;
½General protection error...Close or Ignore╗, you must adapt QuickTime
parameters to your graphic card. To do this, launch the control panel of
QuickTime (in Windows 3.1 : Main Group, Configuration Panel, QuickTime;
in Windows 95 : Menu Bar, Parameters, Configuration Panel, QuickTime).
Click on the ½More╗ button, then ½Video╗. Select the ½Driver╗ option from
the list that is displayed. Click on ½Apply╗ to put your modification into
effect, then ½OK╗.
For more information on using your graphic card, consult your supplier.
* Before launching the program, check that no other program is running.
* Some sound or system conflict problems can be solved by removing the
wallpaper from the office of Windows 3.10.
- If wallpaper is installed in the Windows office, then, from Windows:
- Click on ½Main Group╗
- Click on ½Configuration Panel╗
- Click on the ½Office╗ icon
- Select the ½None╗ option in the ½Wallpaper╗ column (use the
scrollbar to go up the list)
- clik on ½OK╗
- Quit Windows and relaunch from the DOS (you only need to do this
operation once).
* Some display (as well as video mode) and sound problems can be solved by
changing the video driver in ½Windows Installation╗ found in the ½Main
group╗.
* I you use Navigator on a Packard Bell and encounter problems while
running Orsay, then, from Navigator:

(the button in the top right corner, with one arrow pointing up and one
pointing down)

- Click once on the ½Navigator╗ icon and select ½Close╗
- Relaunch the application (this operation must be done each time
