CARS ON CD 97
Readme.txt
FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE
------------------------
A number of factors can influence the general performance of
CARS ON CD 97, the main ones being the speed of your CD player
and the speed of your computer's microprocessor. The display may
also be a determining factor for less powerful computers.
The video sequences flow more smoothly with 256 colours.
With more than 256 colours, the video image quality increases but
the motion quality may be affected, depending on your computer's
performance. On the other hand, the photographic quality of still
pictures is the same with 256, thousands or millions of colours.
MPEG SEQUENCES
--------------
Certain of the video sequences are offered in MPEG format
(640 x 480 pixels) in addition to the regular format.
This option is only active if CARS ON CD 97 has found an
MPEG driver in your computer's configuration. We recommend
you use a MPEG decompression board rather than MPEG software.
Note that some MPEG decompressors only work in thousands or
more colours. Consult the literature for your board or
MPEG software for more details.
INSTALLING Video for Windows (WINDOWS 3.11 ONLY)
------------------------------------------------
CARS ON CD 97 contains video sequences that need the
Microsoft Video for Windows software.
If you do not have Video for Windows and/or you obtain
the error message VIDEO PLAYBACK DRIVER NOT FOUND OR INVALID,
1) Go to the VFW11e directory of CARS ON CD 97;
2) Choose SETUP in the VFW11e directory and follow the
instructions on the screen.
For more information about Video for Windows software, refer
to the README.TXT file in the VFW11e directory.
INSTALLING WinG (WINDOWS 3.11 ONLY)
-----------------------------------
WinG is Microsoft software that can enhance the graphic performance
of any multimedia application used with Windows. WinG is not needed
to use the CD, but the software is designed so that it may enhance
its performance. To install it, just choose SETUP in the WING
directory and follow the instructions on the screen.
To learn more about WinG software, refer to the README.TXT file
in the WING directory of this CD.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
---------------------
If CARS ON CD 97 does not seem to be working properly, make sure
that your system meets the minimum requirements for using the
software. This information can be found on the product packaging.
CARS ON CD 97 needs 8 MG of RAM to operate. Quit all Windows
applications before using CARS ON CD 97.
ATIMACH 32 VIDEO BOARD USERS
----------------------------
If the image on your screen seems altered,
- select the 640 x 480, 256 colour video mode;
- deactivate the video enhancement functions.
(Consult your ATI manual for these procedures)
NOTE FOR ADVANCED USERS (WINDOWS 3.1 and 3.11 ONLY)
---------------------------------------------------
It is possible to improve the performance of video sequences
on certain computers. To do this, execute the program
by entering CD9716.EXE /D
