---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installing CD-Runner

  1. Review the System Requirements(sysreq.txt) to ensure that your system
     is compatible with this product.
  2. Copy the CD-Runner download file into an empty installation directory
     (such as C:\TEMP) and unzip. NOTE: Make sure that your temporary 
     installation directory name does NOT include wildcards or special 
     characters
  3. From the Windows Explorer or File Manager run setup.exe. 
  4. You may delete the installation files upon completion of setup.
  5. If the installation hangs at the "Automatic CD-ROM Drive ID" step,
     restart the installation (you may need to reboot) and do not select
     the automatic drive ID option (this is for a very few older CD-ROM
     drives which were not fully compatible).

  NOTE: you may install the "SL" version (1.0) of CD-Runner into the same
        directory as the full CD/Multimedia version (7.01) or vice-versa.

HELP

  1. If you have downloaded the "slimmed down" CD-Runner zip file and
     experience problems running the program, you may need to download
     the VB5 runtime files:
     * Primary location: 
        ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb5rtsp3.zip
     * Alternate location:
        http://www.cdrunner.net/ftp/vb5rtsp3.zip

  2. Once you've entered the CD-Runner program, screen-sensitive Help is
     available at all times by pressing F1. Both a mouse-sensitive graphic
     screen with brief text pop-ups, as well as detailed information will 
     be displayed. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hints & Tips

* Mouse: CD-Runner makes maximum possible use of your mouse. Displays 
include lots of "hot spots", which when either right- or left-clicked 
allow perform an operation. For example, when you left-click on the 
CD Drawer, the CD is ejected. To help you, note that your mouse pointer 
will change shape whenever you position it over a hot spot.

* Audio CDs - Quick Editing: For quick and easy entering of audio CD
library info, without having to place the CD in the drive for editing:
   * Place the CD in the drive with CD-Runner loaded.
   * Using the Library button, enter the album name into the library.
   * You can now go back to the library at any time and enter additional
     album info, without having to enter the CD in the drive.

* Palette Size: Those of us who run CD-ROM games and Enhanced Video CDs
have been bothered by having to reset our screen displays to 256-color
640x480. CD-Runner has a built-in option for playing Enhanced CDs as
stand-alone multimedia files without having to change screen modes. For
gaming, Microsoft has developed a nifty utility called SetRes which loads
to your System Tray and makes this changeover at a single touch. This one
is worth having, and can be downloaded from the Microsoft libraries on
CompuServe and Internet.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Internet & CD-Runner...

The CD-Runner faceplates have an Internet launch button in the upper 
right corner. (This is linked to your system's default browser, or can 
be customized in Setup.) This allows you to run your web browser while 
listening to music in the background.
