INSTALLATION =============== L'installation d'Imaginaria est très simple (DOS ou Windows) : 2.1 - Installation DOS : créez un répertoire sur votre disque dur (md c:\IMGNARIA). Copiez tous les fichiers depuis la disquette dans ce nouveau répertoire (copy a: ou b:\*.* C:\IMGNARIA\*.* ). Enfin, tapez Win pour lancer Windows. Passez à l'étape 2.3 2.2 - Installation sous Windows : à partir de la commande "fichier" du gestionnaire de fichiers du groupe principal de Windows, sélectionnez le répertoire c:\. Sélectionnez la fonction "créer un répertoire" du menu "fichier". Dans la boîte de dialogue "nom" tapez "IMGNARIA" et cliquez sur OK. Utilisez la fonction "copier" du menu fichier. Dans la boîte de dialogue "de", tapez "a: ou b:\*.*" et dans "Vers", votre répertoire de destination (c:\imgnaria). Quittez le gestionnaire de fichier à l'aide de l'option "quitteré" du menu "fichier". 2.3 - Sous Windows, cliquez sur "groupe de programme" en choisissez "nouveau" dans le menu "fichier"du gestionnaire de programme. Dans la boîte de dialogue "nom", tapez IMAGINARIA et cliquez sur OK. Cliquez sur "Programme" en sélectionnant "nouveau" du menu "fichier" du gestionnaire de programme. Sélectionnez le fichier "IMGNARIA.EXE" à l'aide du bouton "parcourir" du répertoire "c:\imgnaria". 2.4 - Vous êtes prêts ! 3. LANCER IMAGINARIA ==================== Pour lancer Imaginaria, il vous suffit simplement de double cliquer sur l'icône "Imaginaria". (In the Program Manager, open the Startup program group (you may need to use the Window menu to locate it) then find the Imaginaria icon. Hold down the Ctrl key and then click and hold down the mouse button over the Imaginaria icon... drag the copied icon into the Startup group and let go of the mouse button. Imaginaria will now load whenever you start or restart Windows. To stop this in future, select the icon in the Startup group and then press the Del key to delete it. The full version of Imaginaria includes an option to automatically make the program load when Windows starts.) The CTL3D.DLL library file -------------------------- Imaginaria uses a Microsoft library file called CTL3D.DLL which is installed along with the software. You may already have a copy of this library in your main WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory as it is included with many other software packages. If so, and it is an up-to- date version, you can delete the CTL3D.DLL installed in the Imaginaria directory to save disk space. What's in Imaginaria -------------------- La version de démonstration d'Imaginaria se compose de 3 parties : * Les animations de bureau sont actives en fond d'écran pendant que vous travaillez avec une application qui fonctionne sous Windows. * Les écrans de transition apparaissent entre les séquences d'animation. * Les animations pour la protection de l'écran se déclenchent quand votre ordinateur reste inactif. Il y a trois boites à cocher, une pour chaque type d'animation. Mettre une croix "X" en marge de ces boites va activer les animations. D'autres réglages peuvent être faits en utilisant le bouton Settings ... Vous trouverez ci-dessous l'explication en anglais des principaux paramètres de la version d'évaluation d'Imaginaria. Blanking Options ---------------- Determine whether the screensaver is activated by minutes of inactivity, the area of the screen where you have moved your mouse pointer, or a hot key combination that you set. You can also alter how sensitive Imaginaria should be to movement of the mouse. Power Saving supports Energy Star monitors that power down when the screen goes black. Randomizer ---------- Randomizer is not active in this sample, since there is only one desktop animator, one transition screen and one screensaver module. However, in the full version of Imaginaria, the Randomizer plays a combination of modules. Password and Hide Icon are also inactive in this version. System Monitoring options ------------------------- These options determine the allocation of your computer's resources between background processing (including printing and serial port communications) and the screensaver. Run Imaginaria when Windows starts ---------------------------------- This option adds or removes a reference to Imaginaria in the WIN.INI startup file, so that you can have Imaginaria loaded whenever Windows starts. This option is disabled in the sampler version. Hide icon when minimized ------------------------ This hides the Imaginaria icon once the program is loaded to avoid desktop clutter. This option is disabled in the sampler version. 4. COULEUR ET SONS =================== To see Imaginaria's photorealisitic images at their best, your Windows system should be set up to display at least 256 colours. If your machine is running with only 16 colours, check its documentation. Many PCs have a Super VGA or better display card and can operate in 256 colours if the appropriate video drivers are installed and selected via the Windows SETUP utility. Computers with plain VGA, EGA or other displays may not be capable of 256 colour operation. Imaginaria uses .WAV and .MID files to play sound and music. You must have a sound card, sound card drivers and speakers installed to hear this. Verify that these are working properly on your machine by running the Sound option in the Windows Control Panel. See your sound board instructions if they are not working correctly. Imaginaria will also play sound if you have a software-only sound driver installed on your machine although the sound quality may not be as good. 5. DESINSTALLEZ IMAGINARIA ========================== If you wish to remove Imaginaria from you computer, follow steps like these... * If Imaginaria is running, double-click its icon and select Quit. * If you have installed Imaginaria in your 'Startup' Program Group, click once on the icon and press the Del key to delete it. If you have added the program file to the load= or run= line in WIN.INI, remove the appropriate entry. * In the Program Manager, close the Imaginaria Program Group and click on it once to select it. With the group icon highlighted, choose Delete from the File menu. Alternatively, if you installed the icons to another Program Group, select them individually and press the Del key to delete them. * Delete the Imaginaira files and directory, usually C:\IMGNARIA, using the Windows File Manager, DOS commands or any file management program you prefer. 6.
