WHERE TO FIND HELP

For detailed information on usage, please see the online Help in Bookshelf '95. The Troubleshooting section in Help covers a variety of topics such as improving performance and resolving audio difficulties.

REMOVING BOOKSHELF '94

Bookshelf '95 Setup does not automatically remove Bookshelf '94 from your computer. To remove Bookshelf '94, re-run Setup for Bookshelf '94 and choose "Remove All." (This removes only the Bookshelf-specific files. Shared files, such as DLL's and DRV's, installed in the Windows System directory are not removed.)

You may also need to do the following:

  • If you have moved the Bookshelf '94 and/or QuickShelf icon into a different Program Group since installing the application, Setup will not be able to detect the new location of the icon and delete it from Program Manager. After running Remove All from Setup, delete the icon(s) from Program Manager.
  • The BOOKS94 directory (or whatever directory was identified as the destination directory during setup) will not be removed. If this directory is not being used for other files, use File Manager or the Explorer to delete the directory.

GENERAL USAGE NOTES

  • When copying 256-color images, be aware that unless you copy to a program that can handle 256 colors, such images will appear in 16 colors.
  • Pictures copied from Bookshelf using the Copy to Word command will include the caption, but pictures copied using the Copy Picture command will not.
  • The Pronunciation Key pop up included in the Bookshelf Dictionary can be copied to the Clipboard by pressing CTRL+C.
  • Under Windows 95, it is important to not remove the Bookshelf '95 disc immediately after inserting it. Please wait for the Microsoft Bookshelf '95 box to appear and choose Cancel. Once the box has closed, it is safe to remove the disc.

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.

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:

  1. The Drivers dialog box in the Windows Control Panel.

  2. 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.
    
    

  8. Restart Windows.

Compressed audio should now play correctly.

Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum

Audio clips may sound "scratchy" (that is, distorted) when played from the Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum. To correct this problem, change the Media Vision driver DMA setting to 7.

To change the driver settings:

  1. Choose the Drivers icon in the Windows Control Panel.

  2. Select the Media Vision Wave/MIDI/Aux driver and choose Setup.

  3. Under the DMA setting, set the selection to 7.

  4. Choose OK. Choose Restart Now.

Aztech Labs (AZI)

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:

  1. 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.
    

  2. 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.

  3. Do the following:

    a) Note the driver listed in the Wave= line in the [drivers]

          section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
    

    b) Find the section by that name in the SYSTEM.INI file.

          For example, if Wave=mm16.drv, find the [mm16.drv] section.
    

    c) Add a "SingleModeDMA=True" line (without the quotation marks)

          to this section.
    

    d) 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.

BOOKSHELF '95 DISPLAY

Requirements

Microsoft Bookshelf '95 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.

A set of generic 256 color drivers (which support most non-accelerated Super VGA adapters) has been included on the Microsoft Bookshelf '95 disc (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).

Note: Video adapters based on the S3 chip set will not work with the generic 256 color driver (SVGA.EXE). In this case you will find specific S3 drivers (also located in the D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory) for these video adapters. The driver you select depends on the specific S3 chip set your video adapter uses. For more information on the version of the S3 chip set your video card uses, see the user's manual included with your video card. Once you have determined the version of the S3 chip set your video card supports, use the following table to determine which file to copy to your hard disk.

   Chip set     Copy file
   =======      =========

   801/805      S3-801.EXE
   924          S3-924.EXE
   928          S3-928.EXE

To install the driver, you will first need to copy the appropriate driver file from the D:\AAMSSTP\VIDEO directory on the Microsoft Bookshelf '95 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 '95 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).

Font Display Problems

Bookshelf '95 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 '95 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 '95 Setup program and choose Remove All. Once Setup is complete re-run the Bookshelf '95 Setup program to reinstall Bookshelf '95.

NOTES ON QUICKSHELF IN WINDOWS 3.1 and WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS

QuickShelf Keys and MS-DOS Use

QuickShelf keys allow you to look up selected text in Bookshelf from any Windows application. However, you cannot bring up Bookshelf using QuickShelf keys from an MS-DOS application or from the MS-DOS prompt. Additionally, selected text in an MS-DOS application will not be used to perform a QuickShelf lookup when using the QuickShelf buttons. Other Windows applications that do not copy text in the standard way also may not work with QuickShelf.

QuickShelf and the Clipboard

Clicking a QuickShelf button or using a QuickShelf key combination replaces the contents of the Clipboard.

Moving the QuickShelf Toolbar

Open the QuickShelf Customize menu by either right-clicking on the Toolbar or by left-clicking the down arrow button at the right end of the Toolbar, and then clicking Customize. Click the Customize View Tab, and then select either Regular buttons or Large buttons, and click OK. QuickShelf now has a title bar you can click in and then drag to a new location.

QuickShelf and the Automatic Spelling Feature

Searches performed with QuickShelf are not spell checked. In this case, keep Bookshelf open on your desktop as an icon; this way you will have quick access to it.

QuickShelf and Bookshelf '94

If you choose to keep Bookshelf '94 installed on your computer, you may find that trying to launch Bookshelf '95 from QuickShelf will result in Bookshelf '94 being started. To correct the problem, close Bookshelf '94 and launch Bookshelf '95 from the Program Manager. The next time QuickShelf is used, Bookshelf '95 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 city name (spell it correctly) and/or a state name to narrow down ZIP code information.

NOTES ON THE SPELLING FEATURE

  • The Automatic Spelling feature is unable to check multiple words.
  • The Automatic Spelling feature functions in three places in Bookshelf: the Contents Tab, Find Tab, and Advanced Find dialog. When the Spelling dialog box comes up from the Contents Tab, it uses a custom dictionary that has only Table of Contents items. When the Spelling dialog box comes up from either the Find Tab or Advanced Find dialog, it uses the standard spelling dictionary.

RUNNING ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT

The following are known issues related to using Bookshelf with Windows NT. Where possible, solutions or work-arounds are provided.

Creative Labs Sound Blaster AWE 32
