Installation
*****************************************
Before installing this software, we recommend that you close
all other applications and turn off your screen saver and
file sharing. In addition, if you are running any
virus-checking programs, you will need to disable them
during installation.
The CD-ROM contains most of the files needed for Hi-Tech
Hijinks. The installer will, however, copy some files and
libraries to your hard disk. You will need to insert the
Hi-Tech Hijinks CD into your CD-ROM drive each time you
want to play.
Windows or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Installation -
Insert the CD-ROM into your drive.
Select the Run... command from the File menu in the
Windows Program Manager. Type the following into
the command line: D:\INSTALL.EXE (Replace "D" with
your CD-ROM drive letter). Your computer may need
to restart following installation.
Note: Hi-Tech Hijinks requires Windows 3.11
(in enhanced mode) or greater to run.
It will not run under Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.1.
Windows 95 Installation - The first time you insert
the CD-ROM, Windows 95's AutoPlay feature will run
the installation program. Insert the CD-ROM and
follow the on-screen prompts. The next time you
load the CD-ROM, the program should run
automatically, or you can launch it from the
Windows 95 start menu.
Macintosh Installation - Insert the CD into your
CD-ROM drive. Click on the Install Hi-Tech Hijinks
icon and follow the on-screen prompts. Your computer
may need to restart following installation.
Note: Hi-Tech Hijinks requires System 7.0 or greater to run.

Additional features and notes
*****************************************
Hitting the "Esc"key will terminate most dialogue, end most
animation and allow you to immediately continue game play.

Performance Enhancements
*****************************************
On some older computers, the performance of sound- and
graphics-intensive games may be sluggish. If you
experience performance problems within Windows with
Hi-Tech Hijinks, type Alt+M. This will temporarily
suppress the background music and should greatly increase
performance. Typing Alt+M again will restore the sound.
This toggle may also be used if you prefer to run the
software without background music. On the Macintosh,
the key combination for suppressing music is Command+M.
To improve performance on the Macintosh, you may want
to increase the size of the disk cache in the Memory
Control Panel. Increasing the memory allocated to the
Hi-Tech Hijinks application can also increase performance.
On Windows 3.11 machines, the best way to increase
performance is by upgrading to Windows 95. In our
tests, we found that virtually all multimedia
applications perform better under Windows 95
than under Windows 3.11 running on the same machine.
We hope you enjoy Hi-Tech Hijinks and we look
forward to hearing from you.
