2. Troubleshooting
Screen Resolution/Color Depth
To take advantage of the colorful graphics found in Nick-O-Matic
Design Factory, your computer must run with a minimum Windows
setting of 800 x 600 pixels and Color Palette set to High or True
Color. To change this setting, right-click on the Windows
desktop and select Properties. Click the Settings tab and adjust
your Desktop Area and Color Palette.
Br°dcast Technology
Nick-O-Matic Design Factory incorporates our Br°dcast technology that
keeps you informed of new product features, free offers, and other
important news. When there is new information for you, it will appear
on the Nick-O-Matic startup screen. If you wish to turn off this
automatic feature, check the "Deactivate Br°dcast for this product"
check box on the Nick-O-Matic startup screen.
Fonts
This product does not support the Large Fonts option found in the
Windows Display Properties settings. To change this setting,
right-click on the Windows desktop and select Properties. Click
the Settings tab and change the font size to Small Fonts. Click
Apply, and then click Yes to restart your computer for the changes to
take effect.
Drag and Drop Operation
Drag and drop operation is not supported when running Nick-O-Matic
Design Factory with another version of The Print Shop. However, this
function is supported with other applications.
Printing Large Projects
Some printers may not be able to handle large projects, especially
long banners or stickers with many objects on them. If you experience
printing problems, try removing some of the objects from the project.
Printing Half-Sheet Projects
Some of the Crafts projects are designed to print on half-sheets of
paper. Some printers may print off-center. You may be able to
specify half-sheets in your printer's properties dialog box. (This
varies from printer to printer.) In the Print dialog box, click
the Properties button. If your printer has an option to specify
paper size, select 5.5" x 8.5". If you don't see this specific
option, there may be a custom setting where you can type in these
numbers. As with any project designed to print on special stock, it
is highly recommended that you first print on a plain sheet of paper
to check paper alignment.
Sticker Projects and Hard Disk Space
If you are running low on hard disk space, you may not be able to use
the Copy To All button to create a page of identical stickers. You can
free up disk space by deleting programs you no longer use and emptying
the Recycle bin. Also, you can empty the Windows\Temp folder. Use
Windows Explorer to navigate to the Windows folder, click the (+) sign
to open that folder, and then go to the folder called "Temp." The
files in this folder can be safely deleted to free up hard disk space.

5. 90 Day Limited Warranty
Mattel, Inc. warrants to "You" (the original consumer purchaser) that,
under normal use, the "Product" (including the software program and the
CD-ROM disk on which the software program is recorded and the other
items included in the package) will be free from defects in material
and workmanship for ninety (90) days from the date of purchase (Your
receipt shall be evidence of the date of purchase). This Limited
Warranty does not cover damage resulting from accident, misuse,
unauthorized modification, or other conduct or conditions outside
the control of Mattel, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates
(collectively, "Mattel"). If defective, return all contents of this
package (including but not limited to the CD-ROM disk, user guide,
and all other components of this package), postage prepaid, along
with proof of the date-of-purchase, within the ninety (90) day warranty
period, for replacement or refund at Mattel's election, to Consumer
Adjustment Center, 15930 E. Valley Boulevard, City of Industry,
California 91744. Immediately upon Your receipt of any refund, Your
license to use the Product (including the software program) is
terminated. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE SOLE WARRANTY
PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILTY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, ALL OF WHICH IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.
NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY MATTEL OR ITS
SUPPLIERS, DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS OR EMPLOYEES
SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. This Limited Warranty gives You specific legal
rights; You may have other rights which vary from state to state.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, or the limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
some of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to You. In
that event, or in the event that federal law restrictions apply, such
warranties are limited in duration to a period of ninety (90) days
from the date of delivery of the Product to the original end user.
No warranties apply after that period.
IN NO EVENT SHALL MATTEL'S LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES TO YOU OR ANY
OTHER PERSON EXCEED THE PRICE PAID FOR THE PRODUCT, REGARDLESS OF
ANY FORM OF THE CLAIM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT,
PRODUCT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE).
MATTEL AND ITS SUPPLIERS, DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS
AND EMPLOYEES (COLLECTIVELY, THE "MATTEL GROUP") WILL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR ANY LOST DATA, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES
OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF MATTEL OR ANY OF THE MATTEL
GROUP HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.
For inquiries regarding the Product, please contact Mattel, Inc. at
333 Continental Boulevard, El Segundo, California 90245.
