3. Install Problems - Autoexec.nt
During the Setup, the following message appears:

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)

4. 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.

5. 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:
https://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.

6. Install Problem - Install gets stuck while "Updating Component Registration”
During the Install procedure, the process stalls and the install disk just spins with no further progress. This problem sometimes occurs when a prior software installation is aborted or interrupted thus corrupting the system registry.

Solution 1:
Try waiting. Sometimes after a half-hour or so,  the problem will correct itself and continue to complete the install process.

Solution 2:
Another solution is to copy the contents of the install disk to a directory on your hard drive and install from there.

Solution 3:
Microsoft offers a solution for this issue at: https://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0

7. 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.

8. Problem playing videos in our titles
a) If you experience any difficulties playing any or all of the videos, you may have your screen refresh rate set incorrectly. Try this: Right click on desktop. A window pops up. Select ‘Properties’. Then select the ‘Settings’ tab. Then select the ‘Advanced’  button. Then select the ‘Monitor’ tab. In the Monitor Settings area, set the Screen refresh rate to 60 hertz.

b) If you can hear a video playing but get no video you may be missing some video CODECS (software that enables video compression and/or decompression for digital video) on your system.  Visit https://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/codec-pack to download.

If you are using the Corvette Anthology 2014 and you are unable to set your screen resolution to a higher setting, download and copy the file below to the directory where you installed the Corvette Anthology 2014, (usually C:\HI-Tech Software\Corvette Anthology 2014. When asked to overwrite the existing file, select yes. This will replace the existing program with a new version that will recognize the lower resolution setting.

10. Screen Saver Problem

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.

     2) Select  SCREEN RESOLUTION
     3) About halfway down select  "Make text and other
         items larger or smaller"

13. MCI32.ocx Problem.

After the Setup, the program won't run. The following message (or similar message) appears:

"Component MCI32.OCX or dependencies not correct or registered. A file is missing or invalid"

This problem happens sporadically on some machines.  To fix this, download MCI32.ocx file below and copy it to your c:\windows\system32 directory. 

Download the MCI32.ocx file

14. After installing on Windows: "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 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 seems to only occur when the user opens the program for the first time. usually subsequent openings are fine.

If the problem persists, try to manually register the component as follows:

Click the START button in the lower left of your screen Then type: regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\threed32.ocx in the RUN window and hit ENTER. This should resolve the issue. If this does not work, try regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\threed32.ocx in the RUN window.

15. Screen Saver Install Panel does not display at full size and does not display the Option buttons.

This problem seems to occur rarely on certain systems. Copy the downloaded file to the directory where you installed the Corvette Anthology, usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\HI-Tech Software\Corvette Anthology 2012\". You want to replace the Corvette2012.exe file there with this one.
