***** Important Notice ***** If your system does not have the hardware and software to play MPEG movies in Windows, then you must first install the Video for Windows runtime player for the movies to work. Go to the Windows Program Manager and select FILE, then RUN, and type "D:\VFWSETUP\SETUP" (where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive). Even if you have already loaded a version of Video for Windows, you will still need to run this setup program to load the SuperMatch Cinepak(TM) decompressor. **************************** **** Welcome to Aris Entertainment's The Best of Media Clips(tm) **** Thank you for your purchase.
