The RANMA 1/2 Video Screen Saver

Last minute additions..........

This edition of The Video Screen Saver comes with Quicktime 2.0. 
Within the installation program, you have the option to not install
Quicktime 2.0 if you have a pre-existing installation of it.  

Please remember that the Video Screen Saver and Video Jukebox requires
Quicktime.


New Features of the Video Screen Saver

Preview Button - It is now possible to preview the video clips by
		 clicking on the corresponding preview button for
		 clip.

No repeat Video - This gives the ability to control the randomization
		  of the playing of the video clips.  The screen saver
		  will not repeat a video clip until all of the clips 
		  within a module has been played.

Mouse startup - This allows the startup of the screensaver by moving
		the mouse into the designated corner.


Troubleshooting...

If you want to play modules from CD.....
This edition of the Video Screen Saver can play the modules directly
off the CD.  Because of the lag time for the operating system to
recognize the CD, if you are about to play the modules from the CD
but have not put the CD in yet, after inserting the Screen Saver CD,

PLEASE WAIT FOR THE CD LIGHT TO GO OUT 

before clicking on "play modules from CD".


Owners of the ATI Mach64 video cards...
It has come to our attention that the ATI doesn't work with quicktime
unless a line is added in the system.ini file under the [Macx] section.
just open up system.ini with a text editor, find the [Macx] section
and add:

DeviceBitmap=Off

Restart Windows 

and this will solve the problem.


Owners of the Soundblaster family of soundcards...
If you get sound when playing the video jukebox then don't worry about
this message... If you don't get sound then all you have to do is get
the latest driver from Creative Labs or via an On-line service like 
Compuserve

Owners of the Soundblaster Pro or Soundblaster Pro 2...
If the sound is cutting out while the screensaver is on, this is a known
conflict of the SB Pro and Quicktime.  Presently the only workarounds are
to let the screensaver continue to play until the sound returns by itself or 
play another Quicktime Movie with the Video Jukebox or Movie Player until 
the sound returns.  This is known as the SOUND STICKING and has been 
documented by Apple Computers.

Owners of the Soundblaster Pro or Soundblaster Pro 2...
IMPORTANT: IF SOUND CUTS OUT AND YOU TRY TO EXIT WINDOWS, THE SYSTEM WILL 
	   FREEZE.  THIS IS BECAUSE WINDOWS IS TRYING TO PLAY THE WINDOWS
	   EXIT SOUND AND FREEZES.  THE TWO WORKAROUNDS ARE
	   
	   1)  TURN OFF THE WINDOWS EXIT SOUND IN THE SOUND APPLET IN YOUR
	       CONTROL PANEL
	   2)  USE THE WORKAROUND EXPLAINED IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH OF 
	       PLAYING MOVIES UNTIL THE SOUND RETURNS
