SUMMARY
=======

If you encounter problems using Setup to install Microsoft Cinemania 1995, you
can use the PSS.BAT file on the CD-ROM to perform a manual installation of the
program.

CAUTION: Do not use these steps if your are using Microsoft Windows 95 or
Microsoft Windows NT. The manual installation uses a batch file that copies
Windows 3.x system files onto your hard drive. Allowing the system files to be
overwritten in Windows 95 or Windows NT may cause improper system performance.

MANUAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------

1. At an MS-DOS command prompt, change to your CD-ROM drive. For example if your
  CD-ROM drive is D, type the following at an MS-DOS command prompt and press
  ENTER:

  "d:" (without the quotation marks)

2. Type the following and press ENTER:

  "cd\aamsstp\manual" (without the quotation marks)

3. Run the PSS.BAT file from the AAMSSTP\MANUAL directory by typing the
  following at the MS-DOS prompt and pressing ENTER:

  "PSS <cinemania directory> <windows directory>" (without the
  quotation marks)

  where <cinemania directory> is your Cinemania directory and <windows
  directory> is your Windows directory. For example, if your Cinemania
  directory is C:\CIN95 and your Windows directory is C:\WINDOWS, type the
  following at the MS-DOS prompt and press ENTER:

  "pss c:\cin95 c:\windows" (without the quotation marks)

4. The PSS.BAT file on the Cinemania 1995 CD incorrectly references source files
  on the CD located in the \SYSTEM directory. As a result, it is necessary to
  type the following after running the PSS.BAT file

  "copy <cd drive>:\aamsstp\system\*.* <Windows directory>\system"
  (without the quotation marks)

  where <cd drive> is your CD-ROM drive and <Windows directory> is
  your Windows directory. For example, type the following and press ENTER:

  "copy d:\aamsstp\system\*.* c:\windows\system" (without the quotation marks)

  The previous step copies numerous files to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
  Move the following files from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory on your hard drive
  to the WINDOWS directory on your hard drive:

  MPLAYER.EXE
  MPLAYER.HLP
  MCIOLE.DLL
  INDEO.INI

  For information about how to move files, see your MS-DOS manual.

5. Add the following lines to the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI in your Windows
  directory if they do not already exist:

         device=dva.386
         device=vshare.386

6. Create a CINMANIA.INI file using Windows Write and save it to the WINDOWS
  directory on your hard drive. The contents of the CINMANIA.INI file are as
  follows, where D is your CD-ROM drive letter and CIN95 is your Cinemania
  directory:

         [Options]
         StartUpAudio=1
         ListMakerList=
         HotSpotColor=0,0,128

         Browse=-8 53 197 453
         Back List=46 46 196 296

7. Add the following lines to the [Drivers] section of SYSTEM.INI in your
  Windows directory:

         VIDC.MSVC=msvidc.drv
         VIDC.RT21=indeov.drv
         VIDC.CVID=iccvid.drv
         VIDC.IV31=indeov.drv
         WaveMapper=msacm.drv
         MSACM.msadpcm=msadpcm.acm
         MSACM.imaadpcm=imaadpcm.acm
         VIDC.MRLE=msrle.drv
         VIDC.YVU9=indeov.drv
         VIDC.IV32=ir32.dll

8. Add the following line to the [mci] section of SYSTEM.INI in your Windows
  directory:

         AVIVideo=mciavi.drv

9. Add the following line to the [mci extensions] section of WIN.INI in your
  Windows directory:

         avi=AVIVideo

10. Add the following lines to the [drivers.desc] section of CONTROL.INI in your
  Windows directory:

         msacm.drv=Microsoft Sound Mapper V2.00
         msadpcm.acm=Microsoft ADPCM Codec V2.00
         imaadpcm.acm=Microsoft IMA ADPCM Codec V2.00

11. From the File menu in File Manager, choose Run.

12. Type each of the following lines and press ENTER after each line:

  "REGEDIT OLE2.REG" (without the quotation marks)
  "REGEDIT MPLAYER.REG" (without the quotation marks)
  "REGEDIT CLEANUP.REG" (without the quotation marks)

  The following message appears:

  Information in <filename> has been successfully registered in the
  registration database.

13. From the File menu in Program Manager, choose New and select Program Item.

14. Type the following information in the fields listed in the Program Item
  Properties dialog box

      Description:      Read Me: Cinemania '95 Tips
      Command:          notepad c:\cin95\trd.txt
      Working Directory:   c:\cin95

  where your hard drive is drive C and CIN95 is your Cinemania directory. If
  your hard drive is a different letter or Cinemania is in a different
  directory, replace this with the correct drive letter and directory name.

15. Repeat step 13 and type the following information in the fields listed in
  the Program Item Properties dialog box:

      Description:      Cinemania '95
      Command:          c:\cin95\cnmnia95.exe d:\cnmnia95.m12
      Working Directory:   c:\cin95

  where your hard drive is drive C, CIN95 is your Cinemania directory, and your
  CD-ROM drive is drive D.
