Technical Support

Please assemble the following information before contacting our
technical support staff:

     Your serial number
     Your problem description
     Your hardware configuration
     A copy of your "autoexec.bat" file
     A copy of your "config.sys" file
     A copy of your "win.ini" file
     


Main Control Panel

"Run All"

The "Run All" check box has been renamed to "Run Multiple
Modules".  The functionality of the check box remains the same. 
If you want to randomly run multiple modules, then you
must click on the "Run Multiple Modules" check box.  

While "Run Multiple Modules" is checked, you may deselect a
module by double clicking on its name.  This will remove the mark
by the module name indicating that it is no longer selected.


"Run Time"

Clicking on the "Run Multiple Modules" check box will cause the
"Run Time" prompt to be displayed.  As you select the modules you
want to run by double clicking, enter its corresponding "Run
Time" value (ie. the number of minutes you want that particular
module to run when it is randomly sequenced).  Initially, the
"Run Time" is set to 2 minutes.  Once the module has been
selected, an asterisk will be placed by the module name to
indicate that it has been chosen. 

Remember: To specify the setup parameters of the selected module,
click on the "Setup" key.


"Clear All"

Clicking on the "Run Multiple Modules" check box will also cause
the "Clear All" button to be displayed.  This button is used  to
deselect the chosen modules.  The asterisk by each module will be
removed indicating that the module is no longer selected.


Security Log

DINOSAVER maintains a security log that documents when the screen
saver becomes active. The name of the file containing the log is
"DINOSAVE.LOG".  Each time the screen saver becomes active, the
new date and time is appended to the existing file, thereby
maintaining a history of DINOSAVER's use.


Adding DINOSAVER Modules to the Windows Screen Saver

Since DINOSAVER is compatible with the Windows screen saver, its
modules can be easily incorporated by following the directions
below:

     From the Windows directory (C:\WINDOWS), issue the command:
	  COPY C:\DINOSAVE\*.FSS *.SCR

     Run the Windows screen saver.  The modules you have added    
     will be accessible through the Windows screen saver.

installed,  included is a self-extracting file containing the PC
