Screenscapes for Windows - Version 1.0 - January 1994

Thank you for purchasing Screenscapes for Windows. We hope Screenscapes is going to be as
fun for you to use as it has been for us to create!

Here is some important information that was not included in the User's Guide.

a) Installing Screenscapes with a Windows shell other than Program Manager.
The Screenscapes installer will install all the necessary files in the right places 
for you. It will also create a Screenscapes group and an icon for the Auto-Changer
in the "StartUp" group (so the Auto-Changer runs automatically whenever a Windows 
session is started). If you use a non-standard Windows shell, you should make sure
that Screenscapes is properly installed on your system.

b) "Mosaic" effect
We added one more special effect to the Effects menu since the User's Guide went to press.
From the "Mosaic" dialog box, you can apply a "mosaic" effect similar to those available
with some video cameras or video processors. It should be self-explanatory.

c) Bug in Dashboard version 2.0
There is a significant bug in HP's Dashboard version 2.0 which you should know about. This
problem has been fixed in Dashboard version 2.01.

If you are using a "256 color" picture as the background of the "extended screens" panel 
and your screen is set to display 256 colors (8 bit), Dashboard "leaks" a chunk of memory 
every time Screenscapes displays an image!  Note that this problem DOES NOT occur if your 
screen is set to display Thousands or Millions of Colors. The problem is easily worked 
around: set the extended screen background to one of the "predefined" pictures (or use 
the minimized extended screen controller). 

d) Using VERY large images
On some computers, using VERY large images (over 500 KB) as wallpaper can create
problems or even "freeze" the system when starting Windows. No image in the Screenscapes 
collection will ever cause this problem. But if you import and/or create very large 
images (particularly if using Millions of Colors, which requires three times more RAM
than using 256 colors) and you use them as wallpaper, you could run into trouble.

If that happens, restart your computer. Then, from DOS, go to your Windows directory
(normally C:\WINDOWS), and delete the file "SCAPE.BMP" (type: del scape.bmp and press
the Enter key). You should be able to start Windows again. Notice that very few
computers exhibit this kind of problem. Typically, they are older computers with 4 MB 
of RAM or less.

e) Using the Auto-Changer with screen-savers and other "idle" time services
If the Auto-Changer is set to change the installed screenscape MORE FREQUENTLY than
the time of inactivity specified for your screen-saver (or other similar "idle time"
process, such as the "auto-shut-off" feature found in new energy-saving computers), then 
the screen-saver will never activate, because the Auto-Changer activity resets its "timer."
To avoid this problem, make sure that the screen-saver's "delay" is set to a value less 
than Screenscapes Auto-Changer.

f) Updated Installer
The updated installer on this disk now enables you to install Screenscapes on Win-OS/2, and
on Windows 3.1 running on DR-DOS or older versions of MS-DOS.
