- 2. Important Note About Sound Cards
- -----------------------------------------
-
- The BMW Films Player WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SOUND CARD.
-
- To find out if you have a sound card:
-
- Windows Users:
-
- 1. From the Start Menu, point to "Settings"
-
- 2. Select "Control Panel"
-
- 3. Double-click on "System", then select the Device Manager tab
-
- 4. Click "View Devices By Type" then click once on the plus sign next to "Sound, Video,
- and Game Controllers"
-
- 5. If you have a sound card, it will be listed here.
-
-
- Mac users: All Macintoshes have built-in sound playback.
-
-
- Additional Sound Card information can be found in the Help section at bmwfilms.com.

- 3. Downloading Films Through A Proxy Server
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- If you access the Internet via a Proxy Server that requires authentication, you will not
- be able to download films directly through the player.
-
- There are two situations where the BMW Interactive Film Player will not Auto-detect proxy settings,
- and you must enter them manually:
-
- - If you're using a Mac
-
- - Windows users who do not have Internet Explorer configured to go through a proxy
-
-
- See the Proxy Settings section of the Player's Help for a way to work around this problem.
-
-
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------
- 4. Disk Space Issues
- -------------------------------------------
-
- If you're having disk space issues:
-
- 1. Delete the old films you no longer watch.
-
- 2. If you want to save the films, store them externally (like with a ZIP drive or CD-ROM).
-
-
- Films and trailers from "The Hire" series can be extremely large files. Saving these
- files may cause you to run out of room on your hard drive.
-
- 100 MB is the minimum hard drive space required. You will need to have at least 100 MB free space
- on your hard drive to save and view ONE episode (trailer, subplot, and movie) in the smallest format.
- If you want to save and view additional films and your hard drive is full, you will have to delete
- your downloaded film(s) until you have enough free space to save and watch the film.
-
- The total size of all films and trailers from "The Hire" series is 800 MB. If you have the free
- space available, you may certainly keep these files on your hard drive. However, at some
- point it may fill up your hard drive, which may in turn adversely affect the operation of your
- computer.

- 2. Select "Control Panel"
