- ====================================================
- Video Viewers
- ====================================================
-
- The Press Kit Tools setup contains:
-
- Quicktime 2.1.2: Required to view interview sections
- (Note: Quicktime 3.0 will not play the selected files.)
-
- Windows Media Player (full): This version of the Windows
- Media Player includes an MPEG decoder which is
- necessary to view the trailer and tour sections. If your
- Windows Media Player cannot currently play MPEG files,
- you will need to install this version.
-
- You can install both of these players from the startup
- screen of the Press Kit.

- ====================================================
- Screen Resolution
- ====================================================
-
- The Press Kit is best viewed at a display resolution of
- 640 X 480. To change the display resolution on your
- computer, right-click anywhere on the desktop and drop-down
- to Properties. Click the Settings tab and move the
- slider to the left to 640 X 480. Make sure that the Color
- Palette setting is at least 16-bit (thousands of colors).
-
- You may change the settings back to their original state
- by following the same procedure. Some computers allow you
- to change screen display "on-the-fly" from the toolbar.
