During the install there is a way of telling it where you want to read the data from.. Forget how it is as I did this several months ago on my dell. Anyway id all else copy the entire cd to a directory and then point the shortcut to the right location -----Original Message----- From: Pres Waterman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 8:57 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Win95B/98/now street atlas Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 21:52:16 -0500 From: Pres Waterman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] Win95B/98/now street atlas > > When I got SA, it looked and worked too differently for me, but the > reason I > didn't install it was I didn't know how to get it to run from the HDD. > I think you may have pointed me to a registry key to modify.

It is a little sluggish, but it seems no more sluggish than the L100. As a general reminder, I will tell anyone wanting to use a moving-map program on any laptop ( except a Japanese Libretto which "lacks" PrtScr but there is a Fn+something workaround ) to do the following: 1 Start...settings...control panel...Accessibility Options 2 go to the display tab 3 go straight to settings, never mind the "use high contrast" checkbox for now select USE SHORTCUT ( which will be your choice of this ONLY option: LEFT_SHIFT+LEFT_ALT+PRT_SCR ) 4 select high contrast color scheme as CUSTOM 5 then pick High Contrast White ( or any other color scheme but try that ) 6 then go to the general tab, and UNcheck automatic reset. Now, hit LEFT-SHIFT plus LEFT-ALT plus PrtScr and wait a few moments. HUZZAH! The screen, and the menus, are delightfully big, bold, dark black on a white background. The map itself is no different but Windows, and its menus, is great to read. You can tune up the "High Contrast White" settings in display properties even further. Shame the "mobile map colors" feature on Street Atlas makes the map black with green pointers. Who thought THAT was a visual aid? As to getting the map from the HDD? No problem if you have a CD with the runtime files. Run the program, use the EXTRACT program, and extract various areas ( or the whole USA ) to the HDD. It will be in c:\program files\Street Atlas 7\mapdata By the way, during install if you have room, pick the MIDDLE option of "store locators on HD" so you get nice things like "Locate by Address" available. It takes about 256MB of space, and it sometimes doesn't install correctly anyway so you have to redo it. And BTW to REinstall Street Atlas the only way to do it is to delete or rename c:\win...\sa7.ini Pres Waterman, W2PW c/o Patchogue 112 Ford//Kia 112 Long Island Ford and Kia Dealer Currently 2 NEW 2002 T-Birds in stock, $50k ea. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
