Installation Notes
(This Read Me file can be seen from the Install program and
by double-clicking on the ReadMe icon in the Program Group.)
Configuring the screen saver
The Installation program installs the screen saver by copy-
ing the program files to your hard disk. You now need to
run the screen saver Configuration program to select the
screen saver and wallpaper options you want.
To run the screen saver Configuration program, double-click
on the screen saver Config icon in the newly created
Program Manager group.
You can also run the Configuration program by clicking on
the Screen Saver Setup button in the Desktop Control Panel.
You will probably want to reconfigure the screen saver from
time to time for variety.
Uninstalling the screen saver
You can uninstall the screen saver and its media files by
rerunning the Installation program from the CD-ROM and
selecting the uninstall option.
Password Protection and Security
Although the screen saver provides password protection,
this protection can be readily bypassed by simply rebooting
your PC. You should never use the screen saver as a means
of protecting secret or confidential information.
QuickTime for Windows
QuickTime for Windows was automatically installed to your
system if it wasn't there already. If you have any
questions about QuickTime video adapter and sound card
compatibility, check the QuickTime ReadMe file.
QTW with Compaq Q-Vision:
Call Compaq customer service (800-345-1518),
BBS (713-378-1418), or
Compuserve--GOCOMPAQ for updated drivers.
Scaling QuickTime Movies:
If you scale the QuickTime movies up (make them bigger),
we suggest you scale them to 200%, and not intermediate
percentages like 147, 183, etc., to avoid adversely af-
fecting the performance of your video playback. On the
other hand, you safely may use any percentage you wish when
scaling movies down (making them smaller).
Minimum System Requirements
The screen saver will not run correctly if your system does
not satisfy the minimum system requirements, which are:
DOS Version 3.3 or better
Windows Version 3.1 or better (Enhanced mode)
80386 20 MHz processor or better
4 MB memory or better
256 Color VGA or better
The Installation program automatically verifies these re-
quirements, so you should not have any problems (aside from
possible QuickTime problems) if Installation ran successfully.
If your system does not satisfy the minimum requirements,
you will need to address any problems before running the
Installation program again. If necessary, you can check
your system by running any of the following utilities:
Microsoft Diagnostics
-MSD.EXE in the Windows subdirectory
Symantec Norton Utilities' System Info
Central Point PC Tools System Info
Audio Support
A 16-bit audio card is recommended for audio support. An
8-bit card may work, but may not play QuickTime videos well.
Although the screen saver can run without an audio card,
you cannot hear sound effects or video sound tracks without
audio support. You can obtain low quality audio support by
using the PC Speaker audio driver, which can be downloaded
from CompuServe. This driver can play audio files but not
video sound tracks.
To obtain this file from CompuServe, type "GO MSUSER",
select the Microsoft Software Library, search for "PC
Speaker", and download the file SPEAK.EXE.
Multiple CD-ROM Drives
The screen saver searches for media files using the CD-ROM
drive letter that you installed from. If you have more
than one CD-ROM drive, be sure to put the screen saver CD-
ROM in the drive you installed from if you want to use
media files on that CD-ROM.
Norton Desktop For Windows
The screen saver is not compatible with the Sleeper screen
saver program included with Norton Desktop For Windows.
TroubleShooting
Virtual memory is essential for running properly in low
memory situations. Make sure that virtual memory is turned
on in the 386 Enhanced Control Panel.
