	5)      Any other messages

1)      Animations do not run and you get the message:

				c:\windows\system\sysedit.exe and hit enter 
			(This of course assumes that Windows is in the 
			c:\windows directory).

		b)      Select the system.ini file.

		c)      Find the '[MCI]' section (You can use 
			Search Find '[MCI]' Enter)
	
		d)      At the end of the section add the following line
				Animation1=mciaap.drv
		
		e)      Select the win.ini file

		f)      Find the '[MCI]' section (You can use Search Find 
			'[MCI]' Enter)
		
		g)      At the end of the section add the following line
				flc=Animation1

		h)      Now exit sysedit, and save both the system.ini and win.ini files.

		i)      Next copy the files mciaap.drv and aaplay.DLL from 
			the CDROM to your c:\windows\system directory 
			(assuming that windows is in the c:\windows directory).

2)      No Audio is heard and the presentations continues
		
	Check the volume control using the mixer software supplied with your audio card.
	NOTE: The snippets in this demo contain MIDI audio (background music) and
	Wave audio (speech)

3)      No Audio is heard and the presentations stops

	a)      Check to make sure that all the files from the demo CD are in your demo 
	directory.
	
4)      No MIDI is heard at the Millennium Auction title animation
	
	a)   Check that you have a high end MIDI card.

	b)   Make sure that all 16 midi channels are available to the 
	midi driver (if possible).

	To do this:
		Select the MIDI Mapper from the Control Panel.
