Readme.txt If this is a shareware version, install the program by typing cdplayer on the commandline or from the file run in Windows program manager. THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES WINDOWS 3.1 OR GREATER!!!!!!!! Thank you for trying CDPlayer! I have spent a great deal of time working on this program so I hope you like it. Now that the program is loaded, I will assume things are good. If you decided NOT to install the driver, the player will work IF you have previously installed a cd rom driver for Windows. If you experience problems with your current driver, here's how you can use mine: First, open system.ini in notepad or you favorite text editor. Second, look for [mci]. Third, look for CDAudio= line. Forth, add this to the CDAudio line: CDAudio=mcicda.drv It should look exactly like the above line. The buttons are fairly self explanatory. If you minimize the program the track, minutes and seconds are displayed. On-line help, repeat, eject and retrack are disabled in the shareware version. Registration gives you these and the latest release. You will also be notified of future upgrades; not to mention helping me through college! You may experience problems with screen savers with passwords. Sometimes they will not allow the player to update the settings info. IF YOU access the cd rom player while it is playing (eg: trying to access it as a drive or trying to open a file) the player will stop playing an reset itself. There is nothing I can do about this problem. Some program cause this to happen (eg: Word for Windows 1.0, 2.0, Norton Desktop for Window 1.0, 2.0 for example). If the player stops playing, just press play and it will restart. There are some remnants from the install program, usually in the TEMP directory. They begin with ~cln.... . Just delete these files! If you encounter any problems with the player, have suggestions or wish to register it, contact me at the following address: Donald Hamm 3508 Mary St. Erlanger, Ky 41018 The price of the player is 16.95 + tax (ky tax) which totals 17.97. I accept personal checks or money orders but NOT cash (Ha, Ha). This will include the latest player, shipping and handling and more features! Make check/money order payable to Donald Hamm and please allow 10 days to 2 weeks for delivery. Tell me if you have a 286, 386/486. Legal stuff. This product is sold/used AS IS. I've made every attempt to ensure a good working product. I can not be held responsible for every problem (most are out of my control). I will do my best to resolve problems with the software if I am given written notice of the problem. If you registered the program, I will send an update as soon as it is available (provided it is not a major upgrade). Thank you for support!!!! NOTE: Smartdrive may cause a CRC error. To correct this problem, type the following: smartdrv c- c stands for the drive letter you wish to install to. The - sign says disable the write/read. This will allow the installation program to work properly. To re-enable smartdrive, type smartdrv c+.
