Manual: Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD
Installation
1. Enter Windows 3.1
2. Starting at Program Manager, pull down the File menu and select Run...
(the shorthand notation for this sequence is "Program Manager|File|Run")
and at the command prompt type the letter (a-z) of your CD-ROM drive
followed by install (example: d:install).
3. The program will default into the c:\hmapro directory and will occupy
about 5.5 Mb of disk. You will have the opportunity to choose your drive
and/or directory name.
4. If the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD install program does not
detect support for Video for Windows then you will be prompted to allow this
support to be installed. If you choose not to install Video for Windows
then you will not be able to watch videos contained in Dr. Schueler's
Medical Adviser (UK) CD. See the READHMA.TXT file on your Dr. Schueler's
Medical Adviser (UK) CD disk for additional information concerning Video for
Windows.
5. At the end of installation, an options screen will be presented to you.
We recommend you press OK (choosing the default settings) since all of
these features can be configured on-line when the program is running.
6. After installation, Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD should make an
icon located in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD program group.
If you have a substitute desktop program (e.g. Norton's Desktop) you may
not get an icon set up for you. If this is the case, you can launch the
program by double clicking on the HMAPRO.EXE file located in the c:\HMAPRO
directory in File Manager. See your desktop documentation for setting up a
icon (the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD icon should appear if the
path is set up correctly).
Note: If you have Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) for Windows (hard disk
version) you should not overwrite this version with Dr. Schueler's Medical
Adviser (UK) CD. THE DATA FILES FOR THESE TWO PROGRAMS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE.
Either delete the version you don't want from your hard disk or allow them to
exist in their own directories.
Requirements:
1. Windows 3.1 and MPC level 1 PC
2. 4 Mb. RAM memory (need at least 2,600 Kb free under Windows). You can
check your system memory by pulling down the Help menu at Program Manager
to "About Program Manager."
3. VGA (640x480). We strongly recommend 256 color support. With only 16
color VGA you will not be able to access the image library or video library
contained in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD.
4. CD-ROM drive
5. 386-16Mhz or above
Recommended:
1. 386-33Mhz or above
2. 16 bit sound card
3. VGA in 256 colors--The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD is designed
to run in 640x480 resolution in 256 colors. If run in a higher resolution
(e.g. 800x600) it will still only occupy a window that is 640x480.
4. Dual-speed CD-ROM
Using the Program
We are assuming you are familiar with the use of a mouse and the Windows 3.1
environment. If you require additional assistance in Windows, please refer
to your manual or the appropriate Help section. The Dr. Schueler's Medical
Adviser (UK) Pro contains help sections at all screens that will describe how
to use the program.
Censor Function
Many of the images contained in the Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD may
be considered graphic, especially for younger users. Push the Options button
and adjust the censor function accordingly. If you choose to censor all
graphic images, then these pictures will not appear on the image library
menus. If you have the censor set to anything but "always show graphic
images," then the Symptom File will substitute a 16 color picture whenever a
graphic image is detected by the system.
Your Medical Records
The most recent copy of Your Medical Records is also installed along with
Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD. This version of Your Medical Records
can read older versions of the save files. If you already have YMR installed,
the new YMR will use the current YMR save file directory as its default save
directory. The new YMR can read the older version save files, but the old
copy of YMR cannot read the new YMR's save files. It is suggested that, if
you have an existing copy of YMR, you use the updated version and remove the
older version from your hard drive.
Troubleshooting
1. Screens looks funny (fonts on buttons are too small or difficult to read):
We recommend you use a 640x480 video driver that supports 256 colors.
Check with your video card dealer to make sure you are running the most
up-to-date video drivers for your card. If you do not have the Windows
Arial (TrueType font) on your system, then Windows may substitute the
next available TrueType (this may not be to your liking!). Go into
Control Panel under Fonts to make sure your TrueType fonts are enabled
and Arial is present on your list of available fonts. If Arial is not
present then reinstall the this font using your Windows 3.1 disks. We
have chosen Arial as our button font for its readability. All other
fonts in the HMA can be chosen by you in the Options section.
2. Printing problems: The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD uses
Windows Print Manager to perform its printing tasks. Unlike word
processing programs that contain their own printer drivers, we are using
the drivers supported by Windows. For this reason you must have a Windows
print driver loaded to Windows. See your Windows documents or Printers
under Control Panel to make sure your printer is supported. Ensure that
the correct print driver is installed for your printer. If your printer
supports multiple emulation modes, ensure that the print driver matches the
current emulation mode of your printer.
3. Video playback problems (videos are "jerky" or sound makes "crackling" or
"popping" noises): These types of problems are indicative of a slow
component on the machine. The three major areas to look at are:
a) Your CD-ROM drive. The drive should adhere to MPC Level 1 specs,
in particular the 150 KB/sec transfer rate. However, an unusually
slow seek time (> 350-400 msec) can also cause problems.
b) Your video driver. Older video drivers typically are slower than
the current drivers available. Ensure that you have the most
current Windows 3.1 drivers available from your video card
manufacturer.
c) Your CPU. The video playback requires a nontrivial amount of a
machines resources to play cleanly, and a heavily loaded machine or
a slower machine may not be able to provide an adequate amount of
resources.
4. The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD does not allow the videos to be
played: Remember, Video For Windows must be installed. An easy way to
verify whether an install has been performed is to start MediaPlayer
(usually found in the Accessories group), pull down the Device menu item,
and see if one of the recognized devices is Video For Windows. If it is
not there, then Video For Windows has not been installed.
5. The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD thinks I do not have a 256-color
driver installed: Verify that the current driver being used supports 256
colors. This can be done from Main|Control Panel|Windows Setup. If the
driver does not support 256 colors, install a driver which does. If it
does, check your monitor to ensure that it can display 256 colors. In some
cases, the video card will reduce the number of colors to match what the
monitor supports. Lastly, check with your video card manufacturer for an
updated driver which correctly informs Windows via the device capabilities
that it supports 256 colors.
Installing Video For Windows
The Dr. Schueler's Medical Adviser (UK) CD has the Microsoft Video For Windows
runtime distribution on it. To run the install, use Program Manager|File|Run
and at the prompt enter the letter (A-Z) for your CD-ROM drive following by
the command '\runtime\setup' (example: D:\RUNTIME\SETUP). Follow the
instructions given by the Video For Windows setup program.
