GENERAL USAGE NOTES
 
When copying images from Bookshelf into another application, be aware
that in certain cases, the copied images may look differently when
pasted. To correct this in many applications (such as Microsoft Word) use
the Paste Special Command on the Edit menu and choose to paste the image
as a Bitmap.
 
There are a small number of images in the World Almanac that may not look
accurate when pasted into another application along with the text from
that article. To correct this problem, return to Bookshelf and select the
picture and text separately.
First use the right mouse button to click on the image. Select copy,
switch to the application where you wish to paste the image and select
Paste from the Edit menu.
Switch back to Bookshelf and follow the same directions for copying the
text.
IMPROVING THE SPEED OF YOUR COMPUTER
 
Microsoft Bookshelf uses the random access memory (RAM) of your computer
to display pictures and play sounds animations, and videos. If Bookshelf
runs slowly or you see out-of-memory messages, Bookshelf may not have
enough memory. The following suggestions may make Bookshelf run faster.
* Close all unnecessary applications.
* Defragment ("clean up") or optimize your hard disk by running a
  defragmentation program.
* Ensure that your CD-ROM drive is MPC Level 2. Check the documentation
  that came with your CD-ROM drive.
* Add more RAM to your computer. To run Bookshelf you need at least 4
  megabytes (sometimes listed as 4096 kilobytes, KB, or K)
* Optimize the performance of Windows. For complete details, consult your
  Windows manual.
* If you are using Windows 95 make sure it is optimized for your CD-ROM
  drive.
 
            Windows 95 provides settings for CD caching and for accessing
            various CD-ROM drive speeds.
 
To review and modify these settings:
 
1. Select the My Computer icon on your desktop and click it with the secondary mouse button (usually the right mouse button).
2. Choose Properties.
3. Choose the Performance tab.
4. Choose the File System button.
5. Choose the CD-ROM tab. In this box, make sure that the Supplemental Cache size is set to Large. Also, verify that the Optimize Access Pattern is correctly set for the type of CD-ROM drive that is installed on your system (single-speed, double-speed, etc.).

HARDWARE SPECIFIC NOTES
Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16/16ASP
Compressed audio clips may fail to play if you are using a Sound
Blaster 16 or Sound Blaster 16 ASP sound card. For example, you may
not be able to play any sounds in the Dictionary, but animations in
the Encyclopedia may play correctly. This problem occurs because some
computers are unable to use the 16-bit DMA (direct memory access)
channel on the Sound Blaster cards.
 
If you are running WINDOWS 3.X:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To correct this problem, switch the HDMA channel to use DMA or
8-bit DMA. You must change this setting in the following two places:
The Drivers dialog box in the Windows Control Panel.
The SBCONFIG.EXE configuration program included with the Sound Blaster cards.
 
To change the settings, follow these steps:
 
1. Choose the Drivers icon in the Windows Control Panel.
2. Select the Sound Blaster 16 Wave/Midi driver and choose Setup.
3. Under the HDMA setting, set the selection to DMA.
4. Choose OK. Choose Do Not Restart Now.
5. Exit Windows.
6. At the MS-DOS prompt, switch to the SB16 directory and run SBCONFIG.EXE.
7. Follow the instructions provided by this configuration program. It assists you in selecting and testing the following variables:
 
           Variable                     Select
           ========                     ========
           Base I/O port                Autoscan
           MidiPort address             Autoscan
           DMA interrupt                Current
           8-bit DMA                    Current
           16-bit DMA                   Use 8-bit DMA
 
   After you have finished making these selections, the SBCONFIG
   program will restart your computer.
 
Restart Windows.
 
Compressed audio should now play correctly.

CompaQ QVision 2000 Video Cards and Windows 95
The appearance of Bookshelf when running behind another application,
such as Word for Windows, can be distorted and/or completely black
when running in 256 color mode. This can occur with the QVision drivers
that ship with Win95, as well as, with a newer version of the drivers,
QVision v.1.11.7M. To resolve the situation try one of the following:
 
If your video card memory configuration supports greater than 256 colors
use the higher color options to eliminate the problem.
 
OR
 
In the COMPAQ.INI file add the following line to the [CpqDrv] section:
DIBEngineOnly=On
 
This allows the Windows95 DIB Engine to handle the video functions.
 
Aztech Labs (AZI)(for users of Windows 3.x only)
You may experience problems playing compressed wave audio when using
any of the following Aztech Labs (AZI) sound cards:
 
- Multimedia Pro
- NX Pro 16
- Sound Galaxy Basic 16
- Sound Galaxy Pro 16
 
To resolve the problem try the following:
 
* Add a D=64 parameter at the end of the Device=EMM386 line in the
   CONFIG.SYS file. For example, if your EMM386.EXE file is in the DOS
   directory on drive C, you would use the following line:
 
           Device=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE D=64.
 
* Change the DMABufferSize setting in the [386enh] section of the
   SYSTEM.INI file to "DMABufferSize=064" (without the quotation marks).
   If the line does not exist, add it.
 
* Do the following:
Note the driver listed in the Wave= line in the [drivers]
               section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
            2. Find the section by that name in the SYSTEM.INI file.
               For example, if Wave=mm16.drv, find the [mm16.drv]
               section.
            3. Add a "SingleModeDMA=True" line (without the quotation
               marks) to this section.
            4. If the driver in the Control Panel for the particular AZI
               card has separate 8-bit and 16-bit DMA settings, try
               setting the 16-bit to None.
 
Some 16-bit AZI sound card drivers do not have separate 8-bit and
16-bit DMA settings. If the problem still persists, you may need a sound
driver update. For more information, contact Aztech Labs technical
support at (800) 886-8879 or Sound Galaxy Support at (510) 623-8988.
 
The Aztech products discussed here are manufactured by Aztech, a
vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.

BOOKSHELF 1996-97 EDITION DISPLAY
 
Requirements
Microsoft Bookshelf requires a 256 color display to run.
If your computer's display is less than 256 colors, you need to install
a 256 color driver, or obtain one from your video card's manufacturer.
 
If you are using Windows 3.x, a set of generic 256 color drivers (which
support most non-accelerated Super VGA adapters) has been included on the
Microsoft Bookshelf CD (see the README.TXT supplied with the drivers for
more information on supported video adapters). The file (SVGA.EXE) is
located in the D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory (assuming D:\ is the drive
letter of your CD-ROM).
 
To install the driver you will first need to copy the appropriate
driver file from the D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory on the Microsoft
Bookshelf  CD to your hard disk (Note: Do not copy this file to
the C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories).
 
Once the file has been copied to the hard disk you will need to
"extract" the video driver by either typing the name of the file
and pressing the Enter key from the MS-DOS prompt (i.e. SVGA <Enter>)
or by double clicking on the file (SVGA.EXE) in the File Manager.
 
Once the files are extracted, complete the installation of the
video driver by opening the DISPLAY.TXT file located in the directory
where the expanded video driver resides. Find the section entitled
"Installing a Display Driver" and follow the steps.
 
For further information on installing a different display driver,
choose Contents from the Help menu in the Windows Setup application
or consult your Windows documentation.
 
Display Problems
In some situations, Bookshelf 1996-97 Edition may encounter video display
problems when using high resolution video drivers from various
video card manufacturers. The problems include:
 
* Images and illustrations appearing grainy or having "glitches."
 
* Videos displaying garbled images or causing General Protection Faults.
 
Most problems can be fixed by obtaining new drivers from your
video card manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer of your video
card to determine if there are newer versions available. Their
phone number should be in the manuals that came with your video
card or personal computer. Another option for obtaining updated
drivers is the Microsoft Download service, an electronic bulletin
board that can be accessed via a modem at (206) 936-MSDL (6735).
 
In other cases, Bookshelf 1996-97 Edition may look bad on 256 color
displays when other applications that also use 256 colors are placed
over the Bookshelf window. Some things you can do to alleviate this
include:
 
* Run your display at a color depth greater than 256 colors.
  See your video card owners manual on directions on how to do this.
* Don't use gradient fills.
* Maximize the application window.
* Make sure you are using the latest video drivers for your display.
 
Font Display Problems on Windows 3.x
Bookshelf uses TrueType fonts for its display. If you receive
a message stating that one of the fonts is unavailable, make sure
that TrueType fonts are enabled on your computer.
 
1. From the Windows Control Panel, select Fonts and then click the TrueType button.
2. In the TrueType dialog box, make sure the Enable TrueType Fonts check box is selected (an X appears in the check box when it is selected).
3. If the Enable TrueType Fonts check box is selected, then go back to the Fonts dialog box and click the Help button for more information on adding fonts.
 
To view fonts currently installed in Windows, open the Control Panel.
From the Control Panel, select Fonts. Fonts currently in use by
Windows are listed in the Installed fonts box.
 
Bookshelf 1996-97 Edition uses and installs the following TrueType fonts:
 
- Arial (TrueType)
- Arial Bold (TrueType)
- Arial Bold Italic (TrueType)
- Arial Italic (TrueType)
- Bookshelf Symbol 1 (TrueType)
- Bookshelf Symbol 2 (TrueType)
- Bookshelf Symbol 3 (TrueType)
- Symbol (TrueType)
 
If any of the above are missing, run the Bookshelf Setup program
and choose Remove All. Once Setup is complete re-run the Bookshelf
Setup program to reinstall Bookshelf.
 
========================================================================
NOTES ON QUICKSHELF
 
QuickShelf and Bookshelf 1994 or 1995
If you choose to keep Bookshelf 1994 or 1995 installed on your computer,
you may find that trying to launch Bookshelf 1996-97 from QuickShelf
1996-97 will result in an earlier version of Bookshelf being started. To
correct the problem, close the earlier version of Bookshelf and launch
Bookshelf 1996-97 . The next time QuickShelf 1996-97 is used Bookshelf
1996-97 will start.

========================================================================
NOTES ON ADDRESS BUILDER
 
In some instances the Address Builder may be unable to suggest a zip
code based on a street address alone. In this case, try using a specific
city name (spell it correctly) and/or a state name to narrow down zip
code information.
NOTES ON USING THE INTERNET DIRECTORY IN BOOKSHELF
 
Depending on your Internet connection, it may take up to several minutes
for your browser to successfully connect with a site that you have
launched from the Internet Directory. You should wait to see if the
connection is successful before returning to the Internet Directory and
attempting to initiate another link. Attempting to connect with multiple
Internet sites simultaneously is not recommended.
 
For Windows 3.x Users:
 
The help file suggests that when used with mail programs that supports
simple MAPI, Bookshelf will automatically create electronic mail
messages. The mail program must support 32-bit MAPI, which is currently
unavailable on Windows 3.x. To work around this problem, you should
paste the email address into your mail client and follow any additional
directions on mail creation at the top of the article.
 
========================================================================
RUNNING ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT
 
The following are known issues related to using Bookshelf with
Windows NT. Where possible, solutions or workarounds are provided.

========================================================================
 
TROUBLESHOOTING
 
This section contains information about troubleshooting the following:
* Audio problems
* CD-ROM problems
* Printing problems
* Video display problems
 
TROUBLESHOOTING AUDIO PROBLEMS
 
No Sound
 
If sound does not play at all:
* Be sure a sound card is installed.
* Check that a speaker is connected to the jack on your sound card not
  to the CD-ROM drive.
* Check the volume to be sure it is set at an audible level.
* If the volume is turned up and you still hear no sounds, something may
be wrong with your sound board installation. Check to see that the
sound board drivers and necessary Windows drivers are installed
correctly and reinstall if necessary. To check the installed drivers
for Windows 95, click Start, Settings, and then Control Panel. Double-
click System. Click the Device Manager tab, select the Sound, video
and game controller entry to make sure a driver for your sound card is
installed.
* If you're using Windows 3.x, check to see that the drivers are
installed correctly and, if necessary, reinstall them. To determine if
the sound drivers are installed check the Drivers section of the Windows
Control Panel. For more information on installing your sound drivers,
refer to the documentation that came with your sound card. If you have
any problems, contact your sound board manufacturer for assistance.
* If you're using Windows 95, make sure audio compression is
selected-open the Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs,
click the Windows Setup tab, select Multimedia from the list, and then
click Details. Make sure that Audio Compression is checked.
* If the software is installed correctly, the sound board may need to be
pressed more securely into its slot or have a jumper setting changed.
* If you have both a sound board and special software that bypasses the
sound board to play sounds through the PC speaker, we suggest you
remove or disable the special software (the PC speaker driver).
Bookshelf requires an MPC-compatible sound board to be installed and
is not meant to run with the PC internal speaker or any combination of
that speaker and special software.
* If you're using Windows 95 and if the volume is turned up and you
 still hear no sounds, something may be wrong with your sound board
installation. Check to see that the sound board drivers and necessary
Windows drivers are installed correctly and reinstall if necessary.
 
Sound Breaks Up
 
If sound plays, but the audio breaks up or skips, this is usually an
indication that the CD-ROM drive does not fully meet the MPC Level 2
specification for the Data Transfer Rate.
The MPC 2 specification states that the CD-ROM drive needs to be capable
of transferring data at a rate of 300 K (kilobytes) per second while
using 60% or less of the CPU.
You can continue to use your CD-ROM drive to run Bookshelf but will
continue to experience this choppiness in audio and animation clips.
 
Sounds are Cut Off
 
If sounds are cut off, this may be due to other sound-producing programs
you have running. Your computer can play only one sound at a time,
therefore other applications that produce sounds can interrupt the sounds
in Bookshelf. Some sound-producing programs can take over the audio
capability and prevent other Windows programs from being able to make
sounds. If you suspect you have such a program, do not run it at the same
time as Bookshelf.
 
MIDI with Media Player Problems ---Windows 3.x Only
 
Media Player is a program that can play MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) files.
When you're playing anthems and musical examples, you may hear softer
sounds than when playing other audio. To increase the sound level, you
need to adjust your mixer settings.
To do this in Windows 95, from the Start menu choose accessories, then
multimedia. In the multimedia section you will see Volume Control. Select
this and adjust the MIDI volume level(s) to the desired volume.
 
In Windows 3.x, Media Player is normally located in the Accessories group
in Program Manager. It allows you to check the MIDI installation in a
simple way. After using the File Open command to load a .MID file into
Media Player (there should be some in the Windows directory) click the
Play button.
You may get the following message:
"The current MIDI Mapper setup refers to a MIDI device that is not
installed on the system. Use MIDI Mapper to edit the setup." If this
message appears, it means that your MIDI Mapper is not configured
properly. The first thing to do in this case is to check if your MIDI
Mapper configuration was changed:
 
To check for changes to your MIDI Mapper configuration:
1. Look for a file called MIDIMAP.OLD in your \windows\system directory.
If this file exists, it means that your original MIDI Mapper configuration file was replaced.
2. If you see a MIDIMAP.OLD, then rename MIDIMAP.CFG to MIDIMAP.BAK.
3. Now rename MIDIMAP.OLD to MIDIMAP.CFG.
4. Try playing a MIDI file in Media Player.
 
If this procedure fails or is inapplicable, run Control Panel (usually
in the Main group of the Windows Program Manager)and check the setup in
the MIDI Mapper.
For example, if the Ad Lib driver is installed in the Drivers part of the
Control Panel, the MIDI Mapper should be set for Ad Lib. If a different
MIDI device is installed, choose an appropriate setup for the device. For
more information on setting up the MIDI device drivers, look in the
manuals that came with your sound board.
 
To set the MIDI Mapper to use the Ad Lib setup:
1. Run Control Panel.
2. Run MIDI Mapper.
3. Press ALT + S to show setups.
4. Press ALT + A to move to the name field for setups.
5. Use the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to set the name field to Ad Lib
and the description below the name field to "Base-level setup."
6. Close the MIDI Mapper to accept this setup.
 
MIDI Anthems and Musical Examples Fail to Play on Windows 3.x
 
To test nonfunctioning anthems or other musical examples:
1. In Media Player, choose MIDI Sequencer from the Device menu. An Open
dialog box appears with the file CANYON.MID listed in the \WINDOWS
directory. If MIDI Sequencer is not listed, the sound card or sound card software is not configured correctly for MIDI files to play in Windows. Contact the sound card manufacturer for more information.
2. Select CANYON.MID and choose OK.
3. Select the Play button on the lower left side of Media Player. If no
sound is heard, try increasing the volume and test again. You may get
the following message:
"The current MIDI Mapper setup refers to a MIDI device that is not
installed on the system. Use MIDI Mapper to edit the setup." This message
means you may have an incorrect "MIDI Mapper" setting in your Control Panel.
 
To see if your MIDI Mapper settings are correct:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Double-click the MIDI Mapper icon.
3. Click the edit button.
   The third column labeled "Port Name" contains 16 different port
   names. They should all be set to something other than [NONE].
4. Update the MIDI Mapper as needed, choose OK, choose Yes, then choose
   Close. You should now be able to exit the Control Panel and play MIDI
   files, including the anthems.
 
Another possible reason anthems or other musical examples may fail to
play is a corrupt MIDIMAP.CFG file:
 
To try to correct a corrupt MIDIMAP.CFG file:

TROUBLESHOOTING CD-ROM PROBLEMS
 
Do not remove the Bookshelf compact disc from your CD-ROM drive while
running Bookshelf.
If Bookshelf cannot find the data files it needs to run, you will see a
message prompting you to correct the problem.
 
TROUBLESHOOTING PRINTING PROBLEMS
 
Printers differ in their abilities to use fonts, graphics, spacing,
alignment, and character formats. The appearance of your printed document
can vary greatly from printer to printer. The way your document looks
depends on which formats you assign and which formats your printer can
print. If you encounter problems when printing from Bookshelf, such as no
printout, low print quality, or erratic text being printed, there are
several ways to troubleshoot or correct the problem. The following topics
provide basic information about solving problems when printing from
Microsoft Bookshelf.
Sections specific to Windows 95 are identified.
 
Note:  If the printer displays a message or an error indicator, see your
printer manual for information about how to correct the problem.
 
Printer Does Not Print at All
 
When a printer will not print at all, the cause is often a simple
mechanical problem; that is, the printer may be off-line, or not
connected to the computer.
* Check that the printer is plugged in and turned on.
* Check that the correct port is specified for your printer.
* Make sure that you have the correct cable for your printer and that
  the cable is connected properly.
* In Windows 95, check your printer setup: click Start, Settings, and
  then Printers.
  Verify the printer information displayed.
 
or;
 
In Windows 3.x, check your printer setup: select the Main Program Group,
double click on Control Panel, double click on Printers. Verify the
printer information displayed.
 
Print Quality is Poor
 
If print quality is poor or "garbled," try one or more of the following
steps to solve this problem. Try printing after each step before
attempting the next one.
1. Try copying the text you wish to print to a word processor such as
  Microsoft Word for Windows and print from that program. Printing from
  a word-processing program may, in some cases, produce better quality
  than printing directly from Bookshelf.
2. Reset the printer; turn it off and on again.
3. Try reinstalling the printer driver.
4. In Windows 95, check the printer setup click Start, Settings, and then
Printers.
5. In Windows 3.x, check your printer setup: select the Main Program
Group, double click on Control Panel, double click on Printers.
6. Verify the printer information displayed.
7. If you have a serial printer, ensure that the baud rate and printer
  parameters are set to manufacturer's specifications. (Decreasing the
  baud rate may solve the problem.)
 
To check the serial com port settings in Windows 95: click Start,
Settings, and then Control Panel. In the Control panel, click the
System icon, and then the Device Manager tab. Verify the Port settings.
 
To check the serial com port settings in Windows 3.1: double click on
Control Panel, Select Ports, Choose the Com Port that you need,
click the Settings... button, set the appropriate baud rate
 
Printing Tips
 
The following tips may help you with printing problems
* Many printers emulate industry-standard printers such as the Epson LQ,
  IBM Proprinter, or Hewlett-Packard LaserJet series. Consult your
  printer manual to see if your printer supports an emulation. If it
  does, install the driver for the printer it emulates in the Control
  Panel.
* If you have purchased a printer model that has not been on the market
  for very long, your dealer or manufacturer may have a Windows printer
  driver for your printer.
* If you have problems printing in Windows 3.x, try the Generic/Text Only
 printer driver. To do so, follow these steps:
 
1. From the Main group of Program manager, choose Control Panel.
2. From Control Panel, choose Printers.
3. From Printers, select the Add Printer option.
4. From the list of printers, choose Generic/Text only and
   select the Install option.
5. In the Installed Printers box, select Generic/Text Only.
6. Choose the Set As Default Printer button.
 
* If you have problems printing in Windows 95, try the Generic/Text Only
printer driver. To do so, follow these steps:
 
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Printers.
2. Double-click the Add Printer icon and follow the instructions in the
   Add Printer Wizard to install the Generic/Text Only printer driver.
3. Use the right mouse button to click the Generic/Text Only printer
4. Click Set As Default from the menu.
5. Try to print from your application with this driver.
 
TROUBLESHOOTING VIDEO DISPLAY PROBLEMS
 
If you are having display problems, try doing the following:
 
* Try closing down other programs to ensure you have enough memory.
* Try switching to a driver supplied by Windows 95 or Windows NT.
* Change to a different display mode. An alternative to using a different
  driver is to change your video mode to a standard video mode such as
  640x480 resolution with 256 colors.
 
For details on how to change drivers or switch to a different display
mode, see your Windows documentation.
