Thank you for choosing Photo Show 3D.
There is an extensive online help that you may access from
the configuration dialog so this file contains only the
information needed to get you started.
You use Program Manager to install Photo Show 3D. From the
menu, select "File" and then "Run". Next you type "x:SETUP"
replacing x with the drive the floppy is in (usually A). If
you have downloaded PS3D from a BBS or an online service such
as Compuserve it will probably be on your hard drive so you
would then also include the name of the directory it is in.
Below is information on configuring Photo Show 3D for
Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 users.
For Windows 3.1 users
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You must first run Control Panel. Usually it's in the Main
group. Then from the Control Panel you must run Desktop.
In the Desktop setup dialog you first select Photo Show 3D
as the current screen saver and then click on the Setup
button to bring up the Photo Show 3D Configuration Dialog.
Click on the help button for additional information.
For Windows 95 users
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Move your cursor to any clear space on your desktop,
then click on the right mouse button and choose Properties.
Click on the Screen Saver tab and choose the PS3D Screen
Saver selection from the menu. Use the Settings to adjust
the features. Pick Preview to test the screen saver, or OK
to save the settings. Click on the help button for
additional information.
=====================================================
This version of Photo Show 3D uses Microsoft's new WinG fast
graphics library for Windows to support systems running any
number of colors from 16 to 16 Million. The first time you
run a WinG application at any given screen resolution it will
display a box with an strange abstract pattern that it uses
to test for the fastest way to update the screen on your
system. You should only see it the first time you run the
program at that resolution.
If Photo Show 3D seems to run for a few seconds and then quit
without displaying an image there is a problem with the WinG
installation. All of the WinG files MUST be in the SYSTEM
directory to run correctly and there can be no extra copies
in other directories, especially the WINDOWS directory.
If you are running it on a networked system WinG MUST be
installed into the server's SYSTEM directory. This is a
limitation of the WinG library which I unfortunately have
no control over and I apologize for any inconvenience it may
cause you.
If you receive an error message stating that CTL3D or
CTL3DV2 has been installed incorrectly it only means that
there is more than one copy of the file CTL3DV2.DLL on your
system. All you have to do to correct the problem is to
delete all but one copy. If there is a copy in the
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory, that is the one you should keep.
It should be safe for you to delete all other copies. If
there is not a copy in that directory there should be one
in the \WINDOWS\ directory.
CAUTION: CTL3D.DLL and CTL3DV2.DLL should not be considered
copies of the same file. If you have both of these
files on your system you should be careful to keep
one copy of each.
I hope you enjoy Photo Show 3D and will help to further its
growth by sharing the original unregistered version,
PS3D*.ZIP, with your friends.
