I. Pre-Installation Notes and Suggestions
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Disk Compression
If you are using a disk compression utility, the available hard
disk space reported by the installation program might not be
accurate. Disk compression utilities can only ESTIMATE
available hard disk space. If the installation process is not
successful, you may need to free additional hard disk space by
removing unneeded files or applications from your hard drive.
B. Network Installation
This product is designed as a "stand-alone" application and does
not support use by multiple users over a network Ultimate
Children's Encyclopedia will not run from a workstation if it is
installed on a network server. It must be installed locally on each
workstation.
C. Memory requirements
Under Windows 3.1, Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia works best
with Windows operating in a 386-enhanced mode, with 8 MB
RAM, and a 10 MB or greater permanent swap file established on a
non-compressed drive.
Under Windows '95, Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia works best
with 8 MB RAM, and at least 10 MB of free hard disk space.
Please note that most Windows '95 installations rely on free disk
space for swap file, rather than a pre-configured swap file like Win
3.x. For that reason, Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia may fail to
run for no other reason than limited free disk space.
D. Installation Instructions
The Learning Company suggests that you exit all applications
before installing this product. Other programs and drivers running
on the computer could interfere with the installation process.
1. Installation For Windows 95
Simply place the Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia compact disc in
the CD-ROM drive. The Windows 95 AutoPlay function will
automatically offer the option to install the program. Click on
"Install Now" to begin the installation.
If The Learning Company CD is already in the CD-ROM drive and
you have bypassed the AutoPlay function, follow these steps to
begin the installation: Click on the "Start" button and select "Run
...". In the "Open" box, type "D:\SETUP.EXE" and press Enter. If
your CD drive is not drive "D", substitute the letter of your CD
drive when you type this statement. For example, if your CD drive
is drive "E", type "E:\SETUP.EXE" and press Enter.
When the program has finished installing the files, it will
notify you that the installation has been completed. When you
want to use Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia, simply insert The
Learning Company CD into your CD-ROM drive and click "Run
Now" when asked if you want to run the program. To start the
program when the CD is already in your CD-ROM drive, click on
the "Start" button, choose "Programs", choose " The Learning
Company", and then choose " Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia".
2. Installation For Windows 3.1
From the Program Manager, open the "File" menu and select
"Run...". In the "Command Line" box type "D:\SETUP.EXE" and
press Enter. If your CD drive is not drive "D", substitute the
letter of your CD drive when you type this statement. For example,
if your CD drive is drive "E", type "E:\SETUP.EXE" and press
Enter.
Once the Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia program files have been
installed, the installation program will scan for Video for Windows.
If Video for Windows version 1.1e is already installed on your
system, the program will offer you the option of starting
Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia or returning to the Program
Manager. If Video for Windows is not installed on your system, the
installation program will offer to install it for you. Once Video for
Windows 1.1e is installed, simply open the " The Learning
Company" group and double-click on the "Ultimate Children's
Encyclopedia" icon to start the program.
To exit the installation program at any time, click Exit or Cancel,
or press F3.
E. Meeting the Minimum System Requirements
The Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia installation program
automatically determines if your computer system meets the
minimum requirements to run Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia. If
your system fails to meet the requirements, the installation program
will tell you exactly which requirements were not met. Three
potential problems you may encounter and their solutions are
described below:
* "Detected: No suitable wave device"
or
"Detected: No MIDI device"
or
"Detected: No suitable MIDI device"
If you get any of these messages, make sure that you have
installed the Windows drivers that came with your sound
board. Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia requires at least one
wave device capable of at least 8-bit mono at 22.050kHz, and at
least one MIDI device with FM synthesis, all channels.
NOTE: Because of their special hardware setup, certain IBM
Aptiva and Thinkpad systems may generate these messages
even though they DO have the proper equipment and software.
If you own one of these systems and encounter one of the
above messages, disregard the message and proceed with the
installation.
To check that your system has met the minimum requirements, you
can run the program CNMSYSI.EXE, located in the "\WIN32"
directory (Windows 95 users) or the "\WIN" directory (Windows
3.1 users) on the Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia CD-ROM.
Alternatively, load Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia and click on
the "Settings" button. Then, while holding down the "Ctrl" key on
your keyboard, click on the "Meet the Crew" button. A screen will
display the minimum program requirements and the components
found on your system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Troubleshooting
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This product has been successfully tested with a wide variety of
hardware and peripheral equipment. It should be noted, however,
that Microsoft Windows is a "device-independent" operating
system which relies on device drivers to communicate with the
various devices on your system. Occasionally, issues may
occur with one of these drivers. Conflicts with sound cards,
video displays and printers are often resolved by reconfiguring
or updating the device drivers supplied by the manufacturers.
This product is not designed specifically for compatibility with
any particular hardware item.
A. Troubleshooting for both Windows 95 and Windows 3.1
1. Using America Online with Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia
If you have chosen America Online as your on-line service and
you do not have America Online installed on your computer,
Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia will ask you if you would like it
installed when you click the "Proceed" button from the On-Line
"Welcome" screen. If you choose to install the program, you will be
taken through the America Online installation program, which will
create America Online icons in Windows. After installation, it
is necessary to return to Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia, click the
"On-Line" button, and click "Proceed" again.
The first time you launch America Online, you will have to enter
the certificate information -- shown on the Ultimate Children's
Encyclopedia screen after you click "Proceed" -- to gain your free
trial time. Because the program must pause to ask you this
information, you will not be taken directly to the Compton's
NewMedia Forum. You can use keyword "Comptons" to arrive
there manually. In all future uses, you will be taken automatically to
the Compton's NewMedia Forum when you access America Online
from Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia.
2. Font Problems / Font Error Messages when Starting
Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia
Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia requires that certain fonts be
present on your system to display text correctly. If the program is
unable to find the fonts it needs, some text may display poorly or in
unreadable fonts. (If you are using Windows 95, please also see
the section "Encyclopedia Text is Illegible or Displays in WingDing
or Symbol Font" under "Troubleshooting for Windows 95" below.)
If Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia cannot find the proper fonts,
you may see one of the following error messages after the
introductory screen:
* "The following TrueType Fonts were not found: ..."
or
"The following Fonts were not found: ..."
To correct this problem, make a note of the missing font
or fonts listed, then exit Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia.
If you are using Windows 95, click on the "Start" button,
choose "Settings" and then "Control Panel". In the
"Control Panel" window, double-click on the "Fonts" folder.
Then from the "File" menu choose "Install New Font..."
Then follow the instructions after the Windows 3.1 paragraph
below.
If you are using Windows 3.1, double-click on the
Control Panel icon located in the Main group on the
Windows desktop. In the Control Panel, double-click on the
"Fonts" icon, then click on the "Add ..." button.
Move to the "\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" directory on your hard
drive. A list of available fonts should appear; click on
the font that was listed as missing in the error message
and then click on the "OK" button. Then click on the
"Close" or "Cancel" button; there is no need to restart
Windows.
If no list of fonts appears in "\WINDOWS\SYSTEM", consult
your Windows user's guide for assistance in loading
Windows fonts.
* "The TrueType Rasterize is NOT enabled. ..."
If you are using Windows 3.1, to correct this problem,
first exit Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia. Then double-click
the "Control Panel" icon located in the "Main" group on the
Windows desktop. In the "Control Panel", double-click on
the "Fonts" icon, then click on the "TrueType ..." button.
Click in the check box "Enable TrueType Fonts" to place an
"X" in the box. "Show Only TrueType Fonts in Applications"
should NOT be checked. Click on the "OK" button. You must
re-start Windows for the change to take effect, so click
on the "Restart Now" button.
3. Boosting Performance
While it is possible to run the program directly from the compact
disc, performance will be sluggish because of the CD-ROM access
time. Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia runs best when installed on
a hard drive using the "medium" or "large" installation setting.
The 32-bit (Windows '95) version of Ultimate Children's
Encyclopedia included in this product will deliver noticeably better
performance than the 16-bit (Windows 3.x) version. If you are
running 3.x versions of Windows, an upgrade to Windows '95 will
boost performance.
Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia benefits from more memory and
faster CD access. If it is possible to increase RAM beyond the
minimum system requirement of 8MB, you will notice a significant
performance boost. Likewise, using a CD-ROM drive faster than
2X (double-speed) will boost performance also.
B. Troubleshooting for Windows 95
Windows 95 promises to be a great advance in the world of
operating systems. However, due to the very recent release of
this software, extensive troubleshooting data is not available.
This file contains the most up-to-date information we have. Be
sure to check our on-line forum for the latest updates on
technical information (see "Contacting The Learning Company ..."
below).
1. Text is Illegible or Displays in "WingDing" or "Symbol" Font
Certain Lotus or IBM products, such as Lotus Wordpro, install a
font that interferes with the fonts used by Windows 95. This
problem can be resolved by removing the Monotype Sorts Font
version 2.0 from your system.
To remove the font, click on the Windows 95 "Start" menu, select
"Settings", then select "Control Panel". In the resulting window,
double-click on the "Fonts" icon. In the resulting list of fonts,
find "Monotype Sorts Font" (sometimes listed as "Mtsorts_.ttf") and
remove it by dragging it into the Windows 95 recycle bin on your
desktop.
2. Locating Possible Conflicts
To find potential conflicts with your hardware that might be
causing problems with Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia, use the
Windows 95 Device Manager. Click on the Windows 95 "Start"
menu, select "Settings", then select "Control Panel". In the resulting
window, double-click on the "System" icon, then click on the
"Device Manager" tab. Look in the resulting list for yellow
warning triangles with "!" in them. If you find any such
triangles, click once on the item to highlight it and then click
the "Properties" button. Windows 95 will display a dialog box
that explains the status of that device. Consult your Windows 95
or computer system manual for more information.
3. Using Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia with SoftRam95
SoftRam95 is a memory expansion utility for Windows 95 made by
Syncronys Software. When using SoftRam95 and Ultimate
Children's Encyclopedia, manually entering your virtual memory
setting can lead to error messages. SoftRam95 will work properly
with Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia if Windows 95 is allowed to
control the virtual memory setting itself.
4. Working with the Windows 95 Taskbar
If you are using the "Always on Top" and "Auto Hide" settings
for the Windows 95 Taskbar, the Taskbar may obscure some of the
Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia buttons.
To keep the Taskbar from appearing on top of Ultimate Children's
Encyclopedia, turn off the "Always on Top" and "Auto Hide"
settings by clicking on the Windows 95 "Start" button, then
"Settings", then "Taskbar...".
C. Troubleshooting for Windows 3.1
1. "GPF in Module ???.DRV"
These error messages are often related to the video driver being
used by Windows. They can often be resolved by changing the
video resolution to "640x480 with 256 colors". As an alternative,
we have included Microsoft's Super VGA drivers on this CD.
NOTE: If you have a 2MB accelerated video card, contact your
video card's manufacturer for updated drivers instead
of installing the Super VGA drivers.
To install the Microsoft Super VGA drivers, follow these steps:
1. Open the program group called "Main" in the Program
Manager.
2. In the "Main" window, double-click on the "Windows
Setup" icon.
3. In the "Windows Setup" window, open the "Options" menu
and select "Change System Settings."
4. Make note of the current setting in the "Display" box.
5. Click on the down arrow to the right of the "Display"
box, and select "Other Display..." in the menu that
appears.
6. Windows will ask where the video drivers can be found.
Type "X:\SVGA" (replacing "X" with the letter of your
CD-ROM drive) and press Enter.
7. You will be presented with a list of available drivers
and settings. Select either of the following settings:
800 x 600, 256 colors, small fonts
-or- 640 x 480, 256 colors.
8. When the driver has been loaded, Windows will need to
restart to activate the new video driver.
2. "CDR-101" or "Not Ready Reading (CD-ROM drive)"
Error messages related to the computer's ability to read the CD
can often be resolved by one of the following suggestions:
* Make sure that the CD is clean and free of scratches.
CDs can be washed in warm water and dish washing liquid.
Scratched CDs should be replaced.
* Don't cache the CD-ROM drive. If your computer is using
DOS version 6.20 or 6.22 and the SMARTDRV caching
driver, add a "/U" argument to the line that loads
SMARTDRV in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The line may
appear as "C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X /U". For more
Information on SMARTDRV, type "HELP SMARTDRV" at
the DOS prompt.
* Assign twenty buffers to reading the CD. This is done
by setting the "/M:" argument on the MSCDEX line to 20.
The line may appear as "C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE
/D:MSCD001/M:20". For more information on MSCDEX,
type "HELP MSCDEX" at the DOS prompt.
3. Videos Do Not Play
Under Windows 3.1 only, be sure that Video for Windows is
installed. Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia includes Video for
Windows version 1.1e. This can be installed from the Program
Manager by opening the File menu and selecting "Run...". In the
"Command Line" box, type "D:\VFW11E\SETUP.EXE" press
Enter. If your CD-ROM drive is not drive "D," substitute the correct
letter for your drive when you type this statement. For instance, if
your CD drive is drive "E," type "E:\VFW11E\SETUP.EXE" and
press Enter.
PLEASE NOTE: The Video for Windows supplied on the Ultimate
Children's Encyclopedia CD is for Windows 3.1 ONLY. Do not
install it on a Windows 95 system; Windows 95 already includes the
necessary Video for Windows software.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Known Program Limitations
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation may fail if an improper path is entered as the
destination directory. In particular, a path containing two
back slashes together, such as "c:\\" will cause the installation
to fail. The install will appear to proceed normally, but in fact
no files will be copied.
-------------------------
Under Win 3.x, if this application fails to run, it may be necessary
to restart Windows in order to run Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia
again. This is because of Windows 3.x deficiencies in reinitializing
DLL's from failed applications.
-------------------------
If the program refuses to start up, suspect too little virtual
memory (or disk space under Windows 95). The program generally
needs a Virtual Memory swap file to run. You get various
miscellaneous messages and the program may not startup if there
is not enough swap file space. The fix is as follows:
- Under Win 3.x, go to Main/Control Panel/Enhanced (or "386
Enhanced"), click the "Virtual Memory..." button, click the
"Change>>" button, and go from there. Generally it is best to
ask for a "Permanent" swap file and use the suggested size.
You may need to free some hard disk area on your boot drive to
get optimal swap file size.
- Under Windows '95, swap space is handled transparently, so the
same symptom shows up when there is simply too little hard disk
space available on the Win '95 boot drive. If you suspect a
memory problem, be sure you have 20+ MB free hard disk space on
the hard disk where Windows resides. Consider emptying the
Recycle Bin first; then remove enough files to free approximately
10-20 Mb of disk.
-------------------------
If you are copying text from Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia
using the "Copy" button, then pasting that text into the Window
Notepad program, each paragraph of text will appear as a single
long line unless you have the "Word Wrap" option enabled in
Notepad. To do this, select the "Edit" menu in Notepad, then select
"Word Wrap".
-------------------------
If a movie is displayed in a stopped or frozen state, and Ultimate
Children's Encyclopedia is covered by another application,
minimized, or otherwise hidden from view, when it is displayed
again sometimes the current movie frame will not always be shown,
i.e. it will just be blank white. This does not affect any functioning
of the product. Simply pressing the video icon or any of the other
multimedia icons underneath the article text will restore the
display properly.
-------------------------
The graphics within the on-line help file are rendered in 16-colors
only, and will look slightly washed out compared to the actual
program graphics. This was done to accommodate both the Win 3.x
and Win 95 platforms with a single help file, since the Win 3.x help
system does not easily handle 256-color graphics.
-------------------------
If the bottom line in any text viewer (i.e., articles, fact boxes,
Dictionary/Thesaurus/All About Words definitions, Timeline) is
partially visible at all, mouse clicks anywhere on that line are
misdirected to the line above.
-------------------------
Sometimes "Start" menu icons are not removed from Win 95
uninstall, if the product has been installed more than once.
-------------------------
If you get the message "Please place the correct CD in the CD
player", be sure you have the correct CD in the CD player. If
this does not remedy the problem, there may be problem
autodetecting the CD (it can also be a problem in future versions if
user has placed in a different version disk from the one installed). If
it is indeed an autodetection error, fix by adding the line
cd:=<PathToCD> under section [Version] to the
install_path\CNM.INI file on your hard disk, where <PathToCD>
should be replaced with your CD drive letter as follows (if CD is D:
for example):
[Version]
cd:=d:\
--------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Known Hardware Incompatibilities
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ATI Graphics Ultra video card:
Article viewer windows are slightly off-color white.
ATI Ultra-Pro in 256-color mode shows very slow redraw of some
images, such as 3rd picture in "Blood".
ATI Mach 64 cards in 256-color mode may exhibit color (palette)
distortions while playing videos. This has been observed with
driver versions 2.01 and earlier.
Old Orchid Fahrenheit cards sometimes can't handle the opening
sequence. Could be because of older software drivers. Rest of
program works fine.
Diamond Speedstar renders popup dialog boxes incorrectly with a
red square border instead of transparency. Switch to standard
SuperVGA drivers to work around.
Video cards based on the S3 Trio32/Trio64 family of chips exhibit
memory leak problems and associated crashes and other errors
when running in greater than 256-colors. This has been observed
with both the "S3 764 1.33B1" and "S3 Trio64/32 1.41B5" drivers,
probably other versions as well. Work around is to reduce colors
back to 256, or supply more memory to system, either physically or
by shrinking disk cache, etc.
Multimedia flyout menus in the article screen show slight 1-pixel
distortion of the vertical borders on Toshiba portables, using
Chips & Tech video driver in 16-bit color.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
V. Manual Installation Instructions
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Create a directory on hard drive such as c:\UCE
2) Copy entire contents of one of the executable directories on
Ultimate Children's Encyclopedia CD ("Win" for Windows 3.X,
"Win32" for Windows '95 & NT) from the CD into your new hard
disk directory.
3) Create a program icon for c:\UCE\UCE.exe - either a
program icon in Windows 3.x & NT, or a StartMenu entry/Desktop
Shortcut in Win '95.
