| In this offbeat
adventure, we follow Ruff on a far-ranging hunt for his wayward bone.
His search takes us down a deep, dark hole in the earth and high up into
the clouds. Fearlessly, he travels to a faraway jungle, then below the
seas to a sunken ship and off to other exotic locations. Along the way,
we meet a pair of playful monkeys, stars that sing, tap-dancing jeans, a
friendly robot and dozens of other wacky characters. Can he find his
special bone and get home again? Living Books are touched by magic.
Characters talk and move, sing and dance. Sound effects, music, humor
and lots of animations, create a whole new learning experience. Children
can repeat a favorite part, go back or skip ahead, all at their own
pace. Reading skills grow through word recognition. As the computer
reads them aloud, individual words, phrases and lines are highlighted. |

Screen Flashes or
Corrupted Display |
| The screen flashes
during transitions or other corrupt display symptoms. This may be
caused by an incompatibility with a background application from a
recent Macromedia® Shockwave installation. The background
application is called "Shockwave Remote". |
To correct the video
corruption, remove the "Shockwave Init" shortcut from the Startup
folder and then restart the machine.
- Click Start, select Settings, then
Taskbar & Start Menu.
- Click the Start Menu Programs tab.
- Click the Remove button.
- Double-click the Startup folder.
- Select the "Shockwave Init"
shortcut icon.
- Click the Remove button.
- Restart the machine.
This TSR controls the Shockwave Remote
Control Panel. In the future, the remote control can be activated
from the Start Programs Menu by selecting Shockwave, then Shockwave
Remote. |
