SeaSounds
Version 1.0

Introduction
The ScreenSounds line of screen savers started when my Dad had a heart attack. I wanted him to have something to listen to other than traffic noise while he was recovering, so I wrote some screen savers to try to do just that. I tried to make them peaceful so that he would stay down (he wasn't supposed to be too active for a couple weeks), and I tried to keep them from sounding repetitive or monotonous. After working on them for a while, I realized that other people might like them too, so I decided to put them out on the Internet. Now, you can find all of them at http://screensounds.itgo.com



Installation
To install SeaSounds, unzip the file from the web site to a folder and double-click the SETUP icon (the one with the computer on it). Follow the instructions to install the files onto your computer. Then, to set it as your default screen saver, go to Start->Programs->ScreenSounds, and right-click SeaSounds. This should bring up a menu where you can choose from Test, Configure, or Install. Test just previews the screen saver. Configure lets you change the screen saver's settings. Install will set SeaSounds as the screen saver your computer uses.



Uninstallation
If for some reason you want to remove SeaSounds, go to Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel. Click SeaSounds, and click remove. If you haven't registered, this will remove everything but the screen saver settings. If you have registered, it will leave your registration code too in case you ever want to install it again.
