(c) 1998-2000 Complete Software Solutions - Andy Erceg

NoiseNak - "Noise Control for your computer" - so it is particularly suitable
for parents of kids with loud computers (or for kids of parents with loud
computers).

What NoiseNak does ...
----------------------
NoiseNak allows the master volume to be limited to different limits at different
times of the day, on different days of the week. It also enables "Soft-Starting"
(allowing the volume to slowly go up when unmuting), this can also be used when
you are starting Windows. There is also a password option to allow only
authorized users to change, close or deactivate this program.


Requirements
------------
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0
A sound card.


Installation Notes
------------------
If you are installing a new version of this software you need to uninstall the
old version first, you may need to restart your computer to free all the files.
When NoiseNak is used for the first time the Scheduling page has four entries
pre-setup as an example of possible schedules.


Trial Period
------------
The trial period is 30 days, after 20 days the program will not start minimized
(you can minimize it manually).


Registration
------------
The registration fee is US$15 - please go to the online registration page for
more information. Registered users will be given priority when asking for
technical support.


Known Issues
------------
NoiseNak will only control one sound card, if you have more than one, the first
one is the one used.

In Windows 98 there is a sound burst during driver loading at startup if there
is a sound source (like the CD) running, this is unavoidable but should not be a
problem normally as this burst occurs before login and startup sounds.

To uninstall NoiseNak it is important to use the Uninstall option to prevent
attempting to load NoiseNak after the installed files have been removed.

The "Load NoiseNak at Windows Startup" is set on a per user basis (i.e each user
has to select this if they want to load NoiseNak at Windows Startup).

Only if you use the "Hide - You need to re-run NoiseNak to unhide it" action
when minimizing in Windows 98 do you need to not click on the Taskbar icon when
you have just restored it as this is can be a request to re-minimize it, if
NoiseNak is behind other windows use Alt-Tab to bring NoiseNak forward.
