If you use the Installer Files - the
registration code
you need is in your download.
For the Program Folder Files your registration code is on program's start-up screen.
TIME TRAVEL TIPS + Manual + Original Booklet in the extras folder
DosBoxers: Alt+Enter to go in or out of full screen .

MAC OS 9 and earlier
Just go for it ! StD-MacInstall
XP + Vista 32bit
download StD-PCInstall.zip for the original installer files
1.
be aware that resizing the gallery is limited, thus you need to manually change screen size. You may want to download
MultiRes
to easily change your screen resolution to 800x600 or even better if your computer allows it, 640x480.
2.
Set Seizeday.exe compatability (under properties) to run in 256 colours.
for 64 bit Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or MacOSX - use DOSBOX
Use DosBox with your own copy of Windows 3. Good instructions for setting up DosBox here .
HOWEVER ... IF you don't have Windows 3.1 and really need to have Seize the Day, then download
DosBox plus Doswin.zip - which has Seize the Day pre -loaded .
1. Download and install DOSBox
2. Download Doswin.zip from the DosBox - Seize the Day folder.
3. Follow simple instructions included in the
doswin folder. (for Win 8 - same as for Win 7)
4. THEN run Dosbox - Windows 3 will load and
Seize the Day will automatically run - ENJOY!
also, in DosBox
Alt + Enter for fullscreen (and back again)
Ctrl + F10 for mouse release from DosBox
after quitting StD - type exit to quit DosBox
Other DosBox Hints for if you have not used the pre-installed version
1. For Mac or PC if you want to use StD under DosBox without fussing with Windows, edit the system.ini file of Windows 3.1 to use the line shell=c:\seize\seizetheday.exe
and
2. If you don't want to fuss with DosBox after installing Windows 3.1 - open "dosbox-0.74.conf" (win) with Notepad for PC - At the end of the file under [autoexec] insert the following lines:-
mount c c:\doswin
c:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\WINDOWS;
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS
win
or for Mac OS X
in Dosbox-0.74. Preferences for MacOSX add the lines : (presuming your 'doswin' folder is placed at top level of your 'home' folder) (and watch out for spaces. eg mountspace cspace
mount c ~/doswin
c:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\WINDOWS
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS
win

On October 23rd 2010, after years of intermittent searching ,
I found a demo of Seize The Day Living World Calendar from 1993.
Mixed it with old files from a non-working copy a friend sent me,
plus the scanned original booklet from another.
Still beautifully enchanting
... and a useful program
