Enhanced CD's are a new kind of CD, which ca either be used to play music from, like an
ordinary CD, or to watch a video of one of the tracks, on a computer.

Before starting, all unecessary programs that may be running should be exited, as they
take up the computer's memory.
The Enhanced CD should start up automatically when put into the computer's CD drive.
Once insid the computer it can be started up from 'My Computer'. Be patient when
launching an Enhanced CD as they take longer than other discs to mount up.
To exit the Enhanced CD at any time press Alt and F4 together and it will quit.
Use the video controls to play back the video. When using the bigscreen button the
video will enlarge to fill the whole screen. By clicking on the video, it will shrink
back to its original size, revealing the rest of the screen.

To install QuickTime 3.0 either:
Start the Enhanced CD and follow the on screen instructions, which will automatically
come on the screen when the Enhanced CD is run, if an earlier version of QuickTime is
installed on the computer,
or
Double-click the alias in the top most level of the CD. This will open the QuickTime
installer.

VIDEO AND COLOUR
If you are having problems seeing the Enhanced CD, check that the video drivers on the
computer are up to date, and that the monitor is set to the correct bit depth (ie 16bit High Color or higher).To reset the monitors color depth go to 'Start/Settings/Control Panel, and choose the Display icon. In the Settings tab make sure that the Color is set the High Color (16 Bit) or True Color (32 Bit).
If you have had difficulty finding the audio tracks from the CD in Windows Explorer,
this is because they do not appear, as the method for creating enhanced CD's does not
allow them to be seen in the explorer. However, you should be able to listen to the audio
tracks by launching your CD Player, which will most likely be located in your accessories
folder (Start/Programs/Accessories/..). Then choose the appropriate CD drive and allow a
little time for the CD to get ready. After this the tracks should start playing. If they
do not you may either have a CD Rom that does not support the enhanced CD format(this would
be quite an old CD Rom) or you should check to see if you have the most up to date drivers
for your CD playing software.
