NeoBook for Windows v4.1.3a Full Retail Version
===============================================

Overview
--------
This is a preinstalled full retail version of NeoBook for Windows v4.1.3.a with
all upgrade patches applied, current as of October 1, 2004.

This version was created from files from numerous sources, including the full
retail Spanish language version of NeoBook for Windows (hence the Spanish
language media contained in several of the files), as well as several English
evaluation versions of NeoBook for Windows.

Unlike other so-called "full retail" versions of NeoBook for Windows that are
available for download on the Internet, this version is one hundred percent
complete, and is compatable and fully upgradeable with any version 4.x upgrade
patches that NeoSoft may release in the future. In other words, this version is
the closest that you will get to the full retail version without spending the
INSANE amount of $200+ that NeoSoft charges for this application!


Installation
------------
Because this is a preinstalled version of NeoBook for Windows, there are
several steps that must be manually performed in order to install the
application.

Note that after NeoBook for Windows is installed, it can be easily uninstalled
as you normally would any other Windows application (i.e. the "Add/Remove
Programs" icon within the Windows Control Panel, or the "Uninstall" icon within
the Windows Start Menu).

1 - Copy all of the files and directories located in the "NeoBook for Windows"
    directory to your hard drive, maintaining the directory structure in
    verbatim.

2 - Remove the "Read-Only" attribute from all of the files that you copied to
    your hard drive (i.e. "ATTRIB "C:\NeoBook for Windows\*.*" -R /S" from the
    MS-DOS prompt, or simply right-click on the files and select "Properties"
    within the Windows Explorer or "My Computer").

3 - If you wish to install NeoBook for Windows to a different directory other
    than the default directory of "C:\NeoBook for Windows" (i.e. "C:\Program
    Files\NeoBook for Windows"), you must edit the included "NeoBook.reg"
    registry file using Windows Notepad to point to this different directory.

    After opening the "NeoBook.reg" file using Windows Notepad, edit all of the
    directory paths to reflect the other directory that you chose to install
    NeoBook for Windows to. Note that Windows registry files use two
    backslashes instead of one for path entires (i.e.
    "C:\\Program Files\\NeoBook for Windows"), so ensure that you edit the
    registry file properly.

    Save the "NeoBook.reg" registry file to the same filename after editing it
    with Windows Notepad to save your changes and edits.

4 - Import the "NeoBook.reg" registry file into the Windows registry by
    double-clicking on the file within the Windows Explorer or "My Computer"
    (or simply import the file using the Windows Registry Editor).

5 - The file "NBActiveX.ocx" must be manually registered in the Windows
    registry. To add the registration information for this runtime file to the
    Windows registry, click "Start" and then "Run" within Windows, and then
    type in the following command (including the quotes):

    C:\Windows\System\Regsvr32.exe "C:\NeoBook for Windows\NBActiveX.ocx"

    Then left-click on the "OK" button to manually register the runtime file.

6 - Add the following five included shortcut files to your Windows Start Menu:

    "NeoBook for Windows.lnk"
    "NeoBook for Windows Help.lnk"
    "NeoToon.lnk"
    "Quick Tour.lnk"
    "Uninstall NeoBook.lnk"

    Note that these shortcut files will require editing if you chose to install
    NeoBook for Windows to a different directory (as described in step 3). If
    so, right-click on the shortcut files within the Windows Explorer or "My
    Computer" and select "Properties". Then simply edit the path information
    for each of the files in the "Properties" window, as well as left-clicking
    on the "Change Icon" button and editing the path information there as well.

7 - Run NeoBook for Windows by left-clicking the shortcut within your Windows
    Start Menu, and enter the following registration information after the
    application starts:

    Name: Your Name
    Serial: 2915-9281-0812-2330

8 - TADA! Just like you hear in television commercials (cue insane screaming
    television announcer here), "OVER A TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR VALUE,
    FREEEEEEEEEE!" -:)


ENJOY!
