EB on a WINDOWS system

Follow the procedure below, if EB has been installed into a directory different from "c:\ebv4" or if EB does not run well.

Start WINDOWS Explorer
Locate EB.EXE in its directory
Single-click on EB.EXE with the right mouse-button (do not start it!)

A menu appears

Select <Properties> (in German: Eigenschaften) and the following "properties" window appears

(the screen display assumes that EB has been installed in c:\ebv4)

Remark: As I only have a German version of the operating system, the English menu items will be different.

Select <Program> (German: Programm) and the following screen appears

Enter the full filename of the executable programm EB.EXE as the command line and the working directory (where EB.EXE is located) according to your selection during installation. Add the parameter "noems" to the command line, if EB refuses to start with a runtime error on your system.

In case the EB icon is not shown, proceed as follows:

Press the <Change symbol> button (German: Symbol ändern) and locate EB.ICO (after pressing the <Search> button). Then the following screen appears:

Press the <OK> button and return to the "properties" window.

Select <Memory> (German: Speicher) and the following screen appears

Select the parameters as shown then press the <OK> button.

Select <Screen> (German: Bildschirm)

Select Full Screen (German: Vollbild) as shown.

Press the "Ok" button.

EB.PIF will be updated by the operating system and will be written to the EB directory. This directory should look as follows:

Finally double-click EB.EXE in the WINDOWS Explorer and EB should run.

Refinements

1. Special program parameters (see user´s manual) are available for

monochrome screens (e.g. LCD displays)
"personal" configurations in a network environment
problems with mouse double-clicks
exclusion of expanded memory (this can be a severe problem which keeps EB from running!)

These parameters (one or more) must be included into the command line, which appears on the <properties> <program> screen (see figure). E.g. type "c:\ebv4\eb.exe mono" into the command line , if you want EB to run in monochrome mode or "c:\ebv4\eb.exe noems" to exclude the use of expanded memory.

3. Some user options should be configured when running EB for the first time (see user´s manual)
