version 5.00
07/27/98
CONNECTIONS must be viewed with either Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and
above, or Netscape Navigator 3.01 and above.
IMPORTANT NOTES AND LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS:
--------------------------------------------
To best use your CONNECTIONS CD-ROM, you should be aware of the
following issues:
* Always make sure the CONNECTIONS CD is in your CD-ROM drive before
attempting to launch CONNECTIONS.
* Please set your color display to 16-bit color or better. At lower
color depths, some of CONNECTIONS' features may not run properly.
In Windows 95, you can change your color depth from the Start bar
by selecting "Settings," then "Control Panels," then "Display."
Click on the "Settings" tab and adjust to either "16-bit" or
"24-bit".
* Netscape users: After installing CONNECTIONS, you might need to adjust
your view settings back. Simply start Netscape, go to 'View' and click
'Show Navigation Toolbar', then 'Show Location Toolbar.' This should
bring any buttons to the url address box back. Depending which
resolution you're running, the Netscape window might not load at full
view. Click on the maximize window button at the top right corner
(shaped like a square, in-between the _minimize button and X close
button) to run at full screen mode.
* If you are having difficulty using the Adobe Acrobat reader to
view the modem User Guides within CONNECTIONS: quit CONNECTIONS,
open the Acrobat Reader as a standalone application, and open
the appropriate user guide .PDF file from Acrobat's File menu.
