2.Hardware/Software Requirements.
Chronos Clock runs under Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista with 6 MB free disc space. If you wish to use the Internet time synchronization function then a suitable connection via a modem or LAN must be available. The use of the Microsoft Agent requires additional software installed; see http://www.rinnov.com/rnbw/content/msagent.asp for more information.

3.Installing Chronos
If you have downloaded Chronos as a ZIP file then use a decompression utility such as WinZip or PkUnzip to unpack the ZIP file into a suitable directory (such as C:\Program Files\Rainbow Innovations\Chronos). Run the installation program setup_chronos.exe, and then follow the instructions. If you already have a version of Chronos installed and wish to update it, then it is not necessary to remove the old version first. However you must ensure you shut Chronos Clock down first, or the new installation may fail

4.Removing Chronos
Shut down Chronos before removing. Go to Add/Remove Programs in the control panel and remove Chronos from there.

5.Whats New since version 3.00 (A full revision history can be found in the help file under Revision History)

20 May 2007  Version 3.01.013 released.
Bugs Fixed.
Fixed bug in Clock Manager\New Timer. Creating a new countdown timer no longer creates a running timer.
Fixed Calendar display bug. The calendar was not the right size at some screen resolutions.
Fixed Alarm Message box bug. Alarm messages are now displayed topmost (that is on top of all other windows).
Fixed Microsoft Agent automatic time announcements bug.
Miscellaneous.
Altered the security level Chronos runs at on Windows Vista. Version 3.00 ran at the highest level so that the time synchronization function wasn't blocked by Vista's User Account Control. Unfortunately running at the highest level then caused the UAC to always query when Chronos starts up. However this change now means that time synchronization will not work on Vista Systems if the User Account Control is enabled.
08 April 2007  Version  3.00.205 released
Initial release of Chronos Clock version 3.
