Navigator lets you access and manage the functions
of your computer through the concept of
three-dimensional rooms.
|
|
In Navigator your computer is represented as a home
with a living room, and Info room and other
environments for work and play, that you can add
or remove.
|
|
You use your mouse to move from room to room and
to access different features.

|
As you move your pointer around a room, text will
appear at the bottom of the screen telling you about
each item in the room.
|
|
You can get more information about many objects
in Navigator by clicking the right mouse button
when the pointer is over the object.
|
|
When you want to move to a different room or space
in the house, click its doorway.
|
|
The first room you’ll see in Navigator is the Living
Room.
|
|

computer.

|
Here you’ll find the wide range of software programs
that come pre-loaded on your computer.

Oasis – the three-dimensional Internet experience
for the whole family.

America Online, Compuserve and Prodigy, and special
World Wide Web sites.

manuals...

The additional rooms – Workspace, Kidspace and
Myspace – give you a place to organize and manage
the tasks you do with your computer and give you
a place to play.
|
|
Workspace lets you conveniently organize your
documents into project-related folders. It also
includes a time management feature that keeps track
of how much time you spend on each project.

Kidspace gives kids of all ages, their own place
on the computer where they can play games, start
applications, and store files.

Myspace is the place for older kids to hang out
and use all the great features and programs available
on your Packard Bell computer.

gives you direct access to some useful features of
your computer.
|
|
The multiple users button lets you select custom
environments for each member of your home.

the files, rooms, and software your kids can access.
This protects the rest of your programs and files
from their curiosity. Just click on the
