16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem
path to the program that you are trying to start or
install C:\Windows\System32\Autoexec.nt
The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and
Microsoft Windows applications.
Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
According to Microsoft, this
issue may occur if one or more of the following files are
missing or corrupt:
Config.nt
Autoexec.nt
Command.com
Solution:
Insert the Windows Xp CD into the CD-ROM drive
Click START then RUN
Enter:
expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_
c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt
(Replace X:\ with your CD-ROM letter)
Microsoft has provided a more involved solution for this
problem at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767.
The problem is related to running DOS based or 16 bit
applications in Windows XP. If you either do not have the
Windows Xp CD-ROM for some reason try downloading it
HERE.
After downloading the .zip you will have to extract it to
your windows\system32 directory.

3. Install Problems
- Access Violations
During the Setup, any of the
following messages (or similar message) appear:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RICHED
32.DLL
"AN ACCESS VIOLATION OCCURRED WHILE
COPYING THE
FILE"
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSCVCRT40.DLL
"AN ACCESS VIOLATION OCCURRED WHILE
COPYING
THE FILE"
The problem has to do with the Setup program itself. It is simply trying to install the latest versions of
various drivers on your machine. They are, however in use (running) on your system while
the Setup program is trying to run. Although it may not seem like
you have any other programs running, you may and not know it (a screen saver,
virus protection program, background
printing system, memory manager etc. could be active in the background).
Solution:
Re-install the software and select IGNORE to any messages that are presented to you.
If this does not work then re-install the software after closing all background programs
but EXPLORER. Do this by hitting CTRL-ALT-Delete to bring up the "Close Program"
window and close some of the applications that are running by highlighting each and
selecting "End Program" (one at a time). Leave Explorer still running. Then
re-install the software. This should solve your
problem.

4. Install
Problem with System Registry
When trying to install the
software, I get the following
error:
Failure writing to the system registry. The
registry may be corrupt, or you
may not have the required permissions to write to the registry.
Solution:
Because registry keys in Windows
95 cannot be any larger than 64K, it is possible that applications will fail to
install if they are writing too much to a registry key that is already
practically full. SharedDLLs is the registry key where this is most
likely to occur.
To rectify this problem, a Microsoft utility can be downloaded from the
Microsoft Download site at:
http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/
mslfiles/ShareDLL.exe
This file, ShareDLL.exe is a self-extracting executable file, which
contains a tool (ShrDll.exe) that displays the amount of data in the
SharedDLLs registry key and determines which entries in the SharedDLLs key point
to files that have been moved or no longer exist.
Run this utility then
re-install the software. This should solve your
problem.

5.
Print Booklet problem
When attempting to print booklet information
for a given year or a selected range of years, all years or more years than desired print.
Solution:
To select a given year, both To and
From, you must click that year to highlight it. Just having it show in the window
does not select it. Sorry for the confusion. This will be resolved in 2000 and
later versions of
the software.
6.
System locks when running the
software
After installing the Anthology and then running it,
most features don’t work and the program locks the system.
This problem is the result of trying to run a prior version of the
Anthology with a later version CD in the drive. Make sure that you are
clicking the correct icon. E.g.. For the Corvette Anthology 2000,
click The Corvette Anthology 2000 icon and not Corvette Anthology
1999.
7.
Problem playing the
Anthology movies
and videos in older versions of the Camaro,
Corvette and Mustang Anthologys
If you experience any difficulties playing any or all of the movies, you may need to
install the latest video drivers. These are usually included with the later versions of
Windows 95 and in Windows 98 & Me but may be installed from the
Camaro, Corvette or Mustang Anthology by choosing Install Intel Indeo® Software from the File
menu option.
8. Problem
with screen resolution or size
The optimum setting for HI-Tech Software's
titles is 800 by 600 pixels.
Also, it is recommended that Small Fonts
display setting is selected.
To change your resolution and font size settings perform the following steps:
1) Click the right mouse button while the cursor is
on the
Windows desktop.
2) Select the Properties option from the window
that will be
displayed.
3) Select the Settings tab.
4) Adjust the Screen area Slide control to
800x600.
5) You may also want to set the Colors to the
highest level
allowed by your graphics card.
6) To change the font size setting:
Click the Advanced button on
the bottom right
of the above window. Select Small Fonts from
the font size drop-down list box. You may now
have to re-start your computer for the new
settings to take
affect.
The screen saver only cycles through certain years.
A prior installation of the Screen Saver installed the photos that are displaying.
To remove these and start over, activate the Anthology
Screen Saver form. You may access this form by clicking the right mouse button on any
photo displayed on the main screen. This form allows you to add or remove a photo from the
list or remove all photos. If you remove all photos, remember to re-install the Screen
Saver and choose the Select All Photos option.

The Sound Effects do not play or do not play properly.
You are having a problem playing .wav files. On your Windows Desktop, select
START, Then choose FIND and select FILES or FOLDERS. Then in the NAMED
field type *.wav. This will retrieve a list of wav files that are on your
computer. Double click on any one of them. You should hear a sound from your
speaker. If not, you have a problem with your sound system. Contact the
manufacturer.
Back to Top
To remedy this you must set the Windows Taskbar to
"auto hide":
1) Click the START
button at the lower left of
the screen
2)
Select the Settings tab
3) Select the Taskbar
& Start Menu...
4) Check the Always on
Top checkbox
5) Check the Auto
hide checkbox
This should solve the problem.

Downloads are available
below to cure printing difficulties for all the Ads titles but
the Corvette and Mustang CDs. We are sorry for that you are not able to print the various ads from these two
CDs. The ability to print the ads was removed from the software at the last
minute. It was necessary due to our licensing agreements with Chevrolet
and Ford. It was an oversight that left the option to print in the software.
To print the ads from these two:
1) Right click
on an ad and select Copy to
Clipboard.
2) Paste the ad into a word processor or
graphics package.
You
should be able to print it from there.
For the other titles,

After installing on
Windows Vista: "Component 'THREED32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly
registered: a file is missing invalid.
This error message will
appear on a small percentage of computers running Windows Vista after
installation of a software title which copies the file THREED32.OCX to the
system even though the installation wizard reports that the installation
completed successfully. It seem to only occur when the user opens the program
for the first time. Subsequent openings are fine.
It is currently not known why this error message appears.
