TOPIC


    I have just restored the Guided Tour on my Macintosh Performa 6360 (or 6400) computer. The Performa Intro and Demo do not automatically appear as I expected they would. How do I restore the Intro and Demo so they launch automatically like it did when I originally powered on my Macintosh Performa 6360 (or 6400) computer?

DISCUSSION



    There is nothing wrong with the Guided Tour CD. Below are the steps to restore both the Performa Intro and Performa Demo so it behaves as it did when the computer was first turned on out of the box. These directions apply to both the Macintosh Performa 6400 and the Macintosh Performa 6360 computers.

    Step 1
    ------
    After restoring all software to the hard drive, restart your computer with either the "Macintosh Performa 6400 Series Guided Tour" or "Macintosh Performa 6360 and 6400 Series Guided Tour" compact disc.

    Step 2
    ------
    Choose Restore Guided Tour button from the Launcher window.

    Step 3
    ------
    Restart the computer after restoration is complete.

    Step 4
    ------
    Open the Apple Extras folder inside the hard disk.

    Step 5
    ------
    Open the Performa Extras folder.

    Step 6
    ------
    Open the Peforma Demo folder.

    If you do not see a "Launch Performa Demo" icon, open the Media folder. Newer versions of the Performa Demo (the "Macintosh Performa 6360 and 6400 Series Guided Tour" and later) do not place the Launch Performa Demo applet at the top level of the Performa Demo folder.

    Step 7
    ------
    Make an alias of the "Launch Performa Demo".

    (select the icon, then choose Make Alias from the File menu [the keyboard shortcut is Command-M]).

    NOTE: Do NOT make an alias of the "Performa Demo" applet. To be properly run, the Launch Performa Demo applet must be run first; it sets up the operating environment so that the Performa Demo can run well. Typical indications that the wrong file has been used include the regular Launcher overlapping the regular demo startup, and possibly an error dialog indicating that the user must reset the number of colors in use.

    Step 8
    ------
    Put this alias into the Startup Items folder in the System Folder.

    Step 9
    ------
    Restart your computer.

    After the computer restarts, the Performa Intro and Demo work just like they did when the computer was first powered up out of the box.
