Upgrade Notes
If you are upgrading from the 2.02 or 2.10 or 2.11 or 2.50 or 2.51
version of CoverFactory please follow this procedure:
Make sure CoverFactory is not
running when you install a new version.
Install the new version of CoverFactory
in a different folder from the previous version (this is automatically
the default).
If you are upgrading from the 2.00 or 2.01
version of CoverFactory please follow this procedure:
Make sure CoverFactory is not
running when you install a new version.
Install the new version of CoverFactory
in a different folder from the previous version (this is automatically
the default).
If you upgrade from 2.00 or 2.01,
and want to load a project created with the old version, we
recommend going to the Background tab and recreating the background
(double click on "Image" under "Background Image" in the Properties listbox
on the right of the screen). When you recreate the background, you can
use the same settings as previously, it is the process of recreation that
is important rather than the content of the background.
Version 2.02/2.10/2.11 and later can produce much sharper images than previous versions:
but it will only produce the sharpest possible image if the background is
recreated in this way.
If you are upgrading from the 2.02 or 2.10
version of CoverFactory please follow this procedure:
Make sure CoverFactory is not
running when you install a new version.
Install the new version of CoverFactory
in a different folder from the previous version (this is automatically
the default).
Installation Notes

System Requirements
Operating System
CoverFactory requires a PC with:
- Microsoft® Windows® operating system: 98, NT 4, 2000, Me, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.
Display Settings
CoverFactory functions best with your display set to 24-bit or 32-bit color,
but can also work adequately with your display set to 16-bit color.
We do not recommend using CoverFactory with monochrome, 16
color or 256 color display settings. With these settings, colors may appear
distorted while preparing images, some pictures may not display properly,
and the generated images may be poorer quality.
CoverFactory will function with a resolution of 640X480 or above.
We recommend, if possible, you select a resolution of 800X600 or better.
You can change your display settings by right clicking on the desktop
and selecting Properties from the pop-up menu that appears.
Alternatively, if you have unsuitable display settings, CoverFactory will
detect this, and may offer you recommendations when the program is started.
Warning: Some display drivers (particularly
under older versions of Microsoft® Windows®) may sometimes report display modes being
available which are unsuitable for use on your monitor. Changing to one
of these unsuitable display modes using CoverFactory or the Microsoft® Windows®
Control Panel
(for example: one with a higher frequency refresh rate than your monitor
is capable of), may cause your computer to crash, or some in relatively
rare cases, damage to your monitor. If you are unsure of what display modes
your computer is capable of handling, we strongly recommend that you check
with your hardware supplier before altering the display settings.
Memory
CoverFactory operates best on computers with plenty of free memory.
We recommend using a computer with 128Mb of RAM or more. It may also help
to close other applications while using CoverFactory.
If you get low memory errors while using CoverFactory, you can
try increasing the size of the Microsoft® Windows® swap space in the Virtual Memory
settings (under System in Control Panel).
Disk Space
We recommend that you ensure that you have plenty of free disk
space on whichever drive letter you install the CoverFactory program, as
well as on whichever drive is set to store your swap file.
Installing On A Network Drive
CoverFactory is licensed per PC. So in a network environment, you
should purchase 1 license for each PC that you plan to use the software on.
If you have purchased multiple licenses for CoverFactory, please
do not install the program on a network drive - as in this case,
the program will not operate correctly. Instead you should install the
program on each individual computer's hard-drive. To facilitate local
installation, you may copy the installer program to a network drive and then
each networked computer can run the installer from its network location.
