- or you have an earlier version, we recommend
- upgrading to the latest version now.
- RedShift movies and graphics will run faster with
- QTW installed on your hard disk.
-
- To install QTW 2.0.3, double-click on the file
- QTINSTAL.EXE, or open the program manager and
- type d:\qtinstal.exe, where d is the drive letter
- for your CD-ROM drive.
-
- An additional copy of QTW has been provided on
- this CD-ROM in a root-level directory named QTW.
- If you choose not to insatll QTW on your hard disk,
- the copy on the CD-ROM will be used. This will
- operate more slowly than if you installed QTW onto
- your hard disk as recommended above.
