Installation Notes
(This Read Me file can be seen from the Install program and by double-
clicking on the ReadMe icon in the Program Group.)
Configuring the screen saver
The Installation program installs the screen saver by copying the
program files to your hard disk. You now need to run the screen saver
Configuration program to select the screen saver and wallpaper options
you want.
To run the screen saver Configuration program, double-click on the
screen saver Config icon in the newly created Program Manager group.
You will probably want to reconfigure the screen saver from time to time
for variety.
Uninstalling the screen saver
You can uninstall the screen saver and its media files by running the
ScreenWorks Uninstall program and selecting the uninstall option.
Password Protection and Security
Although the screen saver provides password protection, this protection
can be readily bypassed by simply rebooting your PC. You should never
use the screen saver as a means of protecting secret or confidential
information.
QTW with STB Lightspeed video cards
You may experience problems with displaying the movie in the Calendar
program, or when running the Screensaver or Screensaver Config program.
Edit the QTW.INI file in your Windows directory and change the
"Optimize=driver" line to read "Optimize=BMP". Reboot your computer and
try again.
QTW with Compaq Q-Vision:
Call Compaq customer service (800-345-1518), BBS (713-378-1418), or
Compuserve--GOCOMPAQ for updated drivers.
Scaling QuickTime Movies:
If you scale the QuickTime movies up (make them bigger), we suggest
you scale them to 200%, and not intermediate percentages like 147%,
183%, etc., to avoid adversely affecting the performance of your video
playback. On the other hand, you safely may use any percentage you
wish when scaling movies down (making them smaller).
Minimum System Requirements
The screen saver will not run correctly if your system does not satisfy
the minimum system requirements, which are:
DOS Version 3.3 or better
Windows Version 3.1 or better (Enhanced mode)
80386 20 MHz processor or better
4 MB memory or better
256 Color VGA or better
The Installation program automatically verifies these requirements, so
you should not have any problems (aside from possible QuickTime
problems) if Installation ran successfully.
If your system does not satisfy the minimum requirements, you will need
to address any problems before running the Installation program again.
If necessary, you can check your system by running any of the following
utilities:
Microsoft Diagnostics
-MSD.EXE in the Windows subdirectory
Symantec Norton Utilities' System Info
Central Point PC Tools System Info
Audio Support
A 16-bit audio card is recommended for audio support. An 8-bit card
may work, but may not play QuickTime videos well.
Although the screen saver can run without an audio card, you cannot
hear sound effects or video sound tracks without audio support. You
can obtain low quality audio support by using the PC Speaker audio
driver, which can be downloaded from CompuServe. This driver can
play audio files but not video sound tracks.
To obtain this file from CompuServe, type "GO MSUSER", select the
Microsoft Software Library, search for "PC Speaker", and download the
file SPEAK.EXE.
Multiple CD-ROM Drives
The screen saver and calendar programs search for media files using
the CD-ROM drive letter that you installed from. If you have more than
one CD-ROM drive, be sure to put the Cedco CD-ROM in the drive you
installed from if you want to use media files on that CD-ROM.
Norton Desktop For Windows
The screen saver is not compatible with the Sleeper screen saver
program included with Norton Desktop For Windows.
TroubleShooting
Virtual memory is essential for running properly in low memory
situations. Make sure that virtual memory is turned on in the 386
Enhanced Control Panel.
