THE LEGACY MULTIMEDIA ENCYCLOPEDIA: FAQS & INSTALLATION Back to description page   My computer doesn't seem to recognize the CD. It keeps asking me to insert a Legacy CD. This will happen if you have more than one external drive. For example a DVD and a CD-ROM drive. Legacy needs to run in the first drive space. This is usually 'D' drive. You can run Legacy from the DVD or change your drive letters so that your CD-ROM is the first drive. I can't play any video files. I get a QuickTime error. This is usually because the version of QuickTime supplied with our software wasn't installed properly. You can have our version (2.1) and more recent versions installed on the same machine. Go through the install again and when the QuickTime prompt asks if you want to search for existing versions, say no. This will install our QuickTime and leave existing versions alone. Does Legacy work with QuickTime 4? Legacy ships with QuickTime 2.1.2. This version of QuickTime must be installed on your computer to run Legacy. However, you can install and use QuickTime 4 for other purposes if you want. There is no conflict between the two versions of QuickTime. We have no plans at this time to migrate to QuickTime 4. I'm running Windows XP and get a system error when I run Legacy. You may have to set the Windows Compatibility mode on our software to Windows 95. Follow these steps: Using The Windows Application Compatibility Mode When you use Windows Application Compatibility mode, many of the most common issues that prohibit earlier versions of programs from working correctly are resolved. If you run a program and it does not function as expected, it is recommended that you run the program in one of the compatibility environments. To run programs in Windows Application Compatibility mode in Windows XP, follow these steps: Right click on the link of the program that you want to fix. Click on Properties . Click on the Compatibility tab. Click on Run this program in compatibility mode and select: Windows 95   Installation (Courtesy of one of our customers) "Hi there, I am pleased to say that I have my Legacy CD-roms set working. Though the technical advice given to me was great, nothing seemed to work to set up the CDs. The computer wasn't doing anything to set the program up. I found that with the newer PCs, the computer won't read some CAB (cabinet) files which are on the CD-roms. To fix this problem I recommend downloading a trial version (purchasing is an option) of ZipScan from www.Softpedia.com. After downloading this, the program will not yet read the CAB files because additional DLL files need to be downloaded into the program. These can be downloaded for free by visiting www.webzila.com. The DLL files needed are (you can copy and paste these if you like: ZD51145.DLL and ZD50149.DLL. Another way of obtaining these files is to download both i5comp and i6comp files, but the previous are recommended ZD... These two DLL files need to be moved into the folder in which the program ZipScan and all of its components are located eg C:\Programfiles\ZipScan. The program should be run from this folder. Now that the additional files have been incorporated into the program (ZipScan) the files from the setup CD-ROM can be extracted, I recommend extracting the files to a different location preferably the desktop, making these files shortcuts to the CD-rom drive. Also the legacy icon on the CD-rom or the short cut should be made compatible with windows 95 along with the other files on the CD as described on your website. Then the CDs should work perfectly. I'm very impressed with them. Hope this helps other people with the same problem. Thank you Siddhartha "   Graphics Resolution Although the application will run in 256 color mode, the graphics will appear very grainy and the videos will not have much detail. The application is designed for 640x480 resolution in 16 Bit (High Color) mode. Check your display settings (choose Display from Settings->Control Panel under the Start Button) to set your graphics display to 16 bit mode. Do not run the application in 24 bit (True Color) mode. Windows 95 Version 4.00.950 A Installation Problem The CD installation program will not work with this patch version of Windows 95. The "A" version was a patch release to the original version (4.00.950). The original version and subsequent releases install fine. You can determine which version of Windows 95 you are running by choosing the System Icon from the Settings->Control Panel via the Start Button. The solution is to get an upgrade to the current release of Windows 95 (4.00.950 B). Contact Microsoft or your computer dealer for upgrade information. Audio Sync in the Patterns Section There is a minor problem with the QuickTime engine in the patterns section. The first time you choose a pattern from the main menu, the audio will be out of sync with the picture. This can easily be fixed by clicking the pause/play button or clicking anywhere on the QuickTime controller bar. All subsequent plays from any angle or in any mode will play fine. If you wish you may download a patch file that fixes the problem. It is a replacement legacy.exe file. It is a large file (10 mb) and will take quite a long time with slower modems. Download Patch: tkd_0429.exe Missing Encyclopedia Pages A few missing pages have been discovered in the digital Encyclopedia. We have provided the JPEG files here. You can view them directly by clicking on the links and then save them to your local hard drive by right clicking on the viewed file.
