-1- STARTING UP SHELL
Windows 3.x
------------
- In program manager click onto File. A roll menu will descend.
- Click on Start.
- Type 'X:\START' (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.
(X represents the disk letter of your CD-ROM player. If your
CD-ROM player is D, then type in 'D:\START').
Windows 95
-----------
This CD supports the AUTORUN of Windows 95. This means that the SHELL
will start by itself if you use Windows 95. If the SHELL fails to appear
by itself within five minutes, proceed as follows:
- Click on the Start button. A roll menu appears.
- Click on Execute.
- Type 'X:\START' (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.
(X represents the disk letter of your CD-ROM player. If your
CD-ROM player is D, then type in 'D:\START').

-2- SETTING WINDOWS FOR 32,768 COLOURS
As you may have read on the back of the CD jacket, the multimedia shell
needs a Windows desk top for 32,768 colours. If you don't have this, you
get the following error message during starting up the CD-ROM MAGIC:
'Not enough colours available; this application needs a display mode with
thousands of colors.'
You can change the palette of the SVGA card in Windows 95 as follows:
- Go to an empty piece of screen with the mouse curser.
- Click the right mouse button. You will then see a roll menu.
- Click on 'characteristics'. You will see a window for monitor
settings.
- Click on 'settings'. At the 'palette' box you can now set
'high resolution 16 bits'.
In Windows 3.x you make the setting as follows:
- Double click on Windows Setup. You can usually find this program
in the Main Group window.
- Click on Options and select 'Change system settings'.
- Click on Reproduction. You can now select the desired 'Screen
driver'.
- Select 'Another screen (OEM diskette required)'. The computer now
requests the driver diskette that was supplied with the computer.
- Select the driver which best matches the necessary configuration
(hence a minimum of 640 x 480, 32,768 colours or higher).
If the above changes have no effect, contact your computer dealer. If you
have no driver diskette, check with your computer dealer. He will have the
diskette.
Check whether at least 1 Mb of memory is present on your video card. If
this is not the case, you will be unable to start up the shell! You will
then have to buy a better SVGA video card.

-3- THE MULTI-MEDIA SHELL EXPLAINED
To make it easier to have a look at this CD we had a MULTI-MEDIA SHELL
designed. With this shell you can read the various FILES.BBS files. After
that you can unpack the programs on the CD to your hard disk with a simple
push of the left mouse button.
CAUTION: After being unpacked the programs often still need to be
installed! You generally do this with INSTALL.EXE or SETUP.EXE.
