INSTALLING CAPTAIN'S CHAIR ------------------------------ INSTALLING ON A POWER MACINTOSH: 1. Insert the Captain's Chair CD into your CD-ROM drive. 2. Find the folder called "Star Trek Captain's Chair(TM)" and drag copy it to your hard drive. (It uses about 12 Mb of space.) 4. To launch the program, open the "Star Trek Captain's Chair(TM)" folder on your hard drive, then double click on the file called "Captain's Chair Player." (If you would like to locate the program in a more convenient location, you can make an Alias for it.) How to Make an Alias: Select the Player icon on your hard drive by clicking on it only once. Type COMMAND-M. This creates a new icon you can drag anywhere. QuickTime(TM) Captain's Chair requires QuickTime 2.5 or higher. If you do not have QT 2.5 or higher, you can install it from the CD. To install, drag all of the files from the folder on the CD called "Copy Contents to your System Folder" onto the System Folder icon on your hard drive. Your Mac will automatically place them in your Extensions folder. If the system reminds you that your version of QuickTime is in use, you must first drag the old version of QuickTime to the trash. Then follow the directions above. Your old version of QuickTime is in the System Folder, in the Extensions Folder. INSTALLING ON WINDOWS 95: 1. Insert the Captain's Chair CD into your CDROM drive. 2. From the START menu, select "Run..." If your CD-ROM drive is letter D, type "D:\SETUP.EXE" and click "OK". (If your CD-ROM has a drive letter other than D:\, substitute that letter.) The installation will begin. Follow the onscreen instructions. QuickTime QuickTime 2.1.2 is required to run Captain's Chair. QuickTime is automatically installed. If you do not wish to install QuickTime, you can uncheck the box during the installation. III. ADJUSTING YOUR COLOR DEPTH (Mac and Windows) ------------------------------------------- You may pre-set your monitor to any setting from 256 colors (8-bit) to Millions of Colors (24-bit), but the program is optimized for 16-bit (Thousands). Video and the panoramas look best at 16-bit (Thousands) and higher. To change your color depth: Macintosh: On the Apple Menu, select Control Panels, then Monitors and Sound. Select Thousands (or Millions) Windows 95: From the Start Menu select Settings and then Control Panels. Double-click on Display. On the Settings tab, select High Color (16 bit) from Color palette drop-down box. Click Apply. You may have to restart Windows for the change to take effect. IV. TROUBLESHOOTING ------------------- Having other applications open while the Captain's Chair is running may cause poor performance. We highly recommend quitting all other programs, turning off networking, and disabling any unnecessary system extensions or memory- resident programs. WINDOWS 95: Video Driver Settings: Some problems, such as your computer locking-up upon startup of the Captain's Chair, can be traced to the settings of your display driver. In some cases changing the video resolution may help. Consult your hardware supplier's documentation for details if you need assistance with these settings. Shell Programs/Wallpaper: Please turn off wallpaper and disable any kind of custom shell program before running Captain's Chair. Be advised that inadequate DOS memory is frequently the cause of poor performance or missing graphics or sound. MACINTOSH: Please turn off Virtual Memory. If the Ship Diagrams do not display, you may be low on available memory. Ship Diagrams need 14,000Kb free to run. Turning on Virtual Memory will allow you to view the Ship Diagrams, but may degrade performance. V.
