Colonel Cow's COD & CODUO Minimizer

------------------------------- Colonel Cow's COD & CODUO Minimizer Version 1 By Colonel Cow cool_cow1@hotmail.com July 9, 2005 ------------------------------- Thanks for downloading the COD & CODUO Minimizer. It is essential that you read this entire readme before using this software/emailing me with questions. ---- 1. FEATURES ---- -Minimize and restore all Call of Duty games (CODSP, CODMP, CODUOSP, CODUOMP), just start the minimizer and start the game -No overbright desktop, no superdark desktops, the minimizer changes the resolution and brightness when you minimize/restore -Totally customizable key combos, choose whatever keys you wish -Randomized background scenes ---- 2. INSTALLATION & USE (INSTRUCTIONS) ---- It is a four step setup process to get the COD & CODUO Minimizer ready Step 1. If this is the first time using it, extract the cowscodcoduominimizer.exe file onto your hard drive Step 2. Run the COD & CODUO Minimizer Step 3. Customize your key settings as you wish Step 4. Open any COD game To minimize or quit the minimizer, use the buttons in the top right hand corner (each button's function is the same of its similar windows counterpart) ---- 3. MINIMIZING TIPS ---- To ensure that the minimizer works properly, it is best to follow these rules, since they make it less demanding on the minimizer to minimize COD. -Try to run as few background programs as possible -It does not matter if the background scene has the COD logo or CODUO logo, it will detect any running COD game. -When minimizing, you should minimize from the Main menu. If you do, the minimizer will have an easier time resetting the brightness than if you minimize from playing in-game. -If, even if you minimized from the main menu, the brightness is not reset (give it about 5-10 seconds), then go through the process again (minimize & restore). Chances are it should reset back to correct brightness. ---- 4. TROUBLESHOOTING ---- Read this list if you are having any problems. -Special visual effects will be disabled on certain operating systems. You will be prompted if so. -This program writes and reads key settings to the registry. If you find that the key boxes are blank when running the program or you get a message box stating that your key settings will not be saved, please skip to the "Disable Registry" secion of this readme -If, as many times as you try, the brightness does not restore, then please email me at the address below as it may be a bug. Please include all the system info when emailing. -The minimizer does not differentiate between Left and Right versions of keys on your keyboard. Example, if you set your key combo for something as "Shift + Right Shift", just pressing any shift will set off the command. -Having two or more commands share key combos is not supported (even if they are reversed, e.g. Minimize: "Ctrl + G" Restore "G + Ctrl" is not supported) ---- 5. DISABLE REGISTRY ---- If you are having problems such as blank key boxes on startup, getting registry-related error messages or don't want COD & CODUO Minimizer writing to your registry, follow these steps to stop the minimizer fro maccessing the registry. 1. Click Start, Run and type "regedit". Click ok. 2. The Registry editor will open up. Navigate to the key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareCow's COD & CODUO Minimizer. If it exists, delete the entire key. 3. Right-click on the program .exe and click Create Shortcut. Rename this newly-created shortcut as you wish. 4. Right-click the shortcut and click Properties. Click the Shortcut tab. 5. In the Target field, add "+noregistry 1" to the end of the target. 6. Double-click on the shortcut. You should get a message that registry reading/writing has been disabled. 7. You must now use this shortcut whenever you want to start COD & CODUO Minimizer without having it access the Registry ---- 6.
