CD-ROM caching ================= To increase the speed of your program, you should use SMARTDRV.EXE's CD-ROM caching. This option is available to DOS 6.2. Here are the steps to enable CD-ROM caching setup: 1. In your "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file, Make sure that the CD-ROM extensions program, CorelCDX or MSCDEX, is loaded before SMARTDRV. For example: C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10 C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X /L 2048 2. Give SMARTDRV.EXE the default cache size of 2048K as shown in the example above. B. Improving Performance ======================== If you notice that your application is running slowly, setting your video driver to 256 color mode may improve performance. For further information on setting color mode, refer to the documentation provided by your video card manufacturer. C. Trouble Shooting =================== 1. Problems with application not displaying properly ---------------------------------------------------- If you are experiencing video display problems when using the application, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your video card for updated video drivers. If you have obtained and installed the latest video drivers for your display adapter and you still are having problems, please contact Corel Multimedia Technical Support. 2. Problems with playback of video clips ---------------------------------------- If you are experiencing problems while you are viewing the video clips, make sure that the QuickTime video drivers are installed properly on your system. Installing Bernard Of Hollywood's Pinups copies the required version of QuickTime to your system. Please note that the video clips will display best at color settings higher than 256 colors. 3. Screen colors incorrect after returning from screen saver ------------------------------------------------------------ If you have a screen saver that starts while Bernard Of Hollywood's Pin-Ups is being displayed on screen, you may experience a problem with incorrect display colors when returning to the application. If this is the case, please shut down the application and disable your screen saver from starting while you are using Bernard Of Hollywood's Pin-Ups. 4. Date on Pin-Up Calendar shows up in different language --------------------------------------------------------- The calendar date display on the main Pin-Ups screen will display the date in the language that Windows is currently using. For example, if you are using a German version of Windows, and the date settings in windows is set for German, the date will be displayed in German. Please verify your time and date regional display settings if this is not the case. Please consult your Windows documentation for further information on setting time/date regional settings.
