  * * *  Important Information about Expert ScreenSaver * * *

=======================================================================
Note: when you install Expert ScreenSaver, the program will be placed
in the program group named "Expert Software".
===========================================================================
	
	*   *  Installing Expert ScreenSaver  *  *

1. Installation: 
	
	1. Insert Expert ScreenSaver disk into drive A: (or B:).
	2. From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File Menu.
	3. Type A:\SETUP (or B:\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.


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.  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.

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

        *  *  Fractal Compression Files  *   *

5. The photographs in Expert ScreenSaver are compressed using fractal
transform technology.  This requires that all ScreenSaver pictures 
(.ESP files) be accompanied on the same directory by an appropriate template
file (.FTT file). If you move your pictures, remember to move both files to
the new destination, otherwise the program will not be able to decompress
the images.

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

	*  *  Windows Control Panel Module *  *

6. 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 *  *

7. 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 *  *

8.  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.
