Preferred specification:

Please note: The CD-Rom will play on Windows 3.1/Windows for Workgroups but
some work will not display properly since these operating systems do not
cater for 16 bit images within the application.
This product needs all the above items to run. You need QuickTime 2.1 or
later to run the Creative Review CD-Rom.
If you do not have QuickTime for Windows 2.11 already installed on your system
then the setup programe will install it at your request. (Please refer to the
Apple licence information included in the Legal Read Me section for usage
limitations). The software loaded is Windows system software, and will not
conflict with any other Windows standard software.
The movies on this disc will run at optimum quality if you view this product on
a 16-bit display - a monitor running in thousands of colours. The Creative
Review CD-Rom will run on an 8-bit monitor, but will look better with
thousands of colours.
