       Important Information about Expert ScreenSaver

*See end of file for Windows 95 Installation notes 


  *   *  Installing Expert ScreenSaver under Windows 3.1 *  *

BEFORE YOU INSTALL:  MAKE SURE THAT WINDOWS IS CONFIGURED TO
DISPLAY 256 COLORS.  SEE YOUR WINDOWS GUIDE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR VIDEO DRIVER SETTINGS.

1. Installing under Windows 3.1: 
	
	1. Insert Expert ScreenSaver CD into your CD-ROM drive.
	2. From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the 
           File Menu.
	3. Type D:\SETUP (or E:\SETUP), then click the OK button.
	4. Follow the instructions on the screen.


2. Starting ScreenSaver automatically when you start Windows:

Place the Expert ScreenSaver program icon in the StartUp Program 
Group.  

We recommend you also do the following:
	
	1. Highlight the Expert ScreenSaver program icon.
	2. While holding down the ALT key, press the ENTER KEY.
	3. You will see the Program Item Properties dialog box 
           appear.
	4. Check the box labeled "Run Minimized", then click OK.

This way, Expert ScreenSaver will automatically run without you 
having to wait for it to load and then minimize every time you 
start Windows.


2.a. Exiting Expert ScreenSaver:

If you have made any changes to your ScreenSaver settings, we 
recommend that you exit the program by clicking on the QUIT
button. This way, all the changes you have made will be saved 
and will be in effect next time you run the program.  Exiting
Windows while the ScreenSaver program is still running will
cause you to lose any settings changes you have made.


3. If you are using Norton Desktop 2.x or other Windows
alternative desktops or you are having trouble installing the
program:

Check to see if your System.ini file reads as follows: 
	 [boot]
	 shell=progman.exe

Expert ScreenSaver will not install properly if 'shell' is set
to anything different such as "Norton". All the files will be
installed on the directory you have specified, however, no 
program group or icon will be created. If this is the case, 
create your own program group and drag the file EXPTSAVR.EXE
into the new program group from the File Manager.  Please
consult your Windows or Desktop guide for more information on
how to set up applications to run from program groups.


==================================================================

	*  *  Uninstalling or Re-installing *  *

4.a.  To uninstall:

Remove the following files from your Windows directory:

- Expert.scr
- all  .ESS (Expert ScreenSaver Picture Collection) files.
- all  .ETN (Album Thumbnail image) files.
- all  .ETI (Main Screen Thumbnail image) files.
- Exptscene.bmp
- Expertss.ini 

4.b.  To re-install:
We recommend that you remove all of the above files from your
Windows directory when you re-install.  Any .ESS or .ETN file that
remain in your Windows directory will contain information about
the picture files contained in that directory.  If you have
deleted these picture files, you will get a "Cannot find Bitmap"
error.

==================================================================

	*  *  Windows Control Panel Module *  *

5. Although you can change most of the settings for Expert
ScreenSaver from the program, you can also make changes to
settings from the Windows Control Panel/Desktop application. The
name of the ScreenSaver module is named "Expert ScreenSaver v2" 
and should be the active selection in the Control Panel/Desktop
Screen Saver section when the program has been loaded.

When active, Expert ScreenSaver controls the screen saver and
wallpaper functions. But when you exit, the program returns your 
Windows application to the exact settings that existed before you
started the program.  All screen savers or wallpapers that were 
active before starting Expert ScreenSaver will then be displayed, 
even though you might have disabled them while Expert ScreenSaver
was running. 


==================================================================

   *  * Using Expert ScreenSaver with other Screen Savers *  *

6. For best results when using Expert ScreenSaver with other 
Screen Savers:

From the Windows/Control Panel/Desktop application:
- Make sure that the selected screen saver is Expert ScreenSaver.
- Set the Wallpaper option to <none>.  Expert ScreenSaver will
  work best when it doesn't have to compete with other wallpaper
  settings from the Window's control panel.
- If you have placed the Expert ScreenSaver program icon in the 
  start-up Program Group, make sure that this is the only screen
  saver that will be loaded automatically when you start Windows.

==================================================================
    *  * Using Expert ScreenSaver with Other Software *  *

7.  When using certain software, most notably older versions of
paint and draw programs, (PageMaker 4.0, Corel Draw 3.0, etc.) you
may experience a change in the colors of the image you are working
on when the Wallpaper changes.  This occurs when the Windows 256
color palette changes with the new Wallpaper image and the
software you are using does not recognize the color change.  To
avoid this, simply turn off the Wallpaper changing function.  
Minimize, then maximize the program you were working on and the
image will then return to its original colors.  If this doesn't
solve the problem, turn off and Quit Expert ScreenSaver while you
work with your application. YOUR FILE WILL NOT BE AFFECTED, ONLY
THE WAY IT IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN AT THE TIME.
