Installation instructions

In Windows 95, the start program is normally called up
automatically after the CD has been placed in the drive.
Should the automatic start function for CD-ROMs ("Autorun") be
deactivated on your computer or should you want to restart the
CD directly after quitting the program, please call up the file
"Start_95.EXE" on the CD-ROM.

In Windows 3.1 please display the contents of the CD-ROM in
the Windows File Manager and call up the start program by double
clicking on "Start_31.exe".


QuickTime for Windows

In order to view the QuickTime films in better quality, we
recommend that you use a colour display with 32,000 colours.
Please note, however, that this higher colour resolution may
slow down processing and other applications on some system
configurations. 

In order to ensure error-free playback we also recommend that
you deactivate your installed screen saver. Please also note
the QuickTime instructions below.

QuickTime and Windows 95
In order to be able to view the QuickTime videos, the QuickTime
for Windows version 2.1.2. must be installed on your computer.
Should QuickTime not be installed, the program will report this.
In this case please go to the CD-ROM directory "QT_Inst" and call
up the file "QTInst32.exe" and then follow the installation
instructions.

QuickTime and Windows 3.1
In order to be able to view the digital QuickTime videos,
the QuickTime for Windows version 2.1.2. must be installed
on your computer. Should QuickTime not be installed, the
program will report this. In this case please go to the CD-ROM
directory "QT_Inst" and call up the file "QTInst16.exe" and
then follow the installation instructions.

QuickTime and Windows NT
Should there be problems on your Windows NT system with regard 
to video playback, please go to the directory 'QT_Inst' on the 
CD-ROM. Call up the file 'QTInst16.exe' and follow the 
instructions. Then start the CD-ROM by clicking on the file 
'Start_31.exe'.


Internet

In the CD-ROM application you can directly access the BMW
homepage using an Internet Browser. For this you need to have
a Browser with mail program already installed (Netscape
Navigator 3.0, Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 or higher)
as well as an activated and configured Internet connection.
When the CD-ROM application and the Browser are used in parallel,
the memory requirement given in the respective system requirements
increases by the memory required by the respective Browser
(additionally approx. 10 Mbyte).


Screen saver

We have produced a BMW screen saver for you which you can
install from the CD-ROM application. You will find it on the
"Quit" page. Please note the respective installation instructions
and the fact that the memory requirements given in the respective
system requirements is increased by 2.5 Mbyte when the screen saver
and application are used in parallel.


We sincerely hope you enjoy this CD-ROM.

Your BMW AG, Munich
