- *** IMPORTANT NOTES ***
-
- The MCI CD AUDIO driver, included with MICROSOFT Windows, must be
- installed to enable audio playback. To verify if this driver is
- installed: open CONTROL PANELS and click on the DRIVERS ICON. Scroll
- through the installed driver list to verify if the MCI CD AUDIO driver
- is installed. If necessary install it by clicking on ADD and scrolling
- the driver list. Select to add the MCI CD AUDIO. Follow the on screen
- prompts and insert the appropriate MICROSOFT Windows System disc.
- Restart Windows and the audio will now play.
-
- In some cases when the Player software is running in the smaller size
- window the right side of the control bar will appear to be cut off.
- This is caused because the Windows default font you are using is too
- large. The situation can be remedied by clicking on the SIZE button to
- enlarge the Player display window or by loading a small font video
- driver.
-
- Performance of the Player will be increased by running Windows in
- STANDARD mode. To run in Standard mode, start Windows by typing,
- "WIN /S" at a DOS prompt.
-
- If you have more than 1 CD ROM drive on your system, the Player
- software will only use the first logical CD drive. For example, if
- you have 2 CD drives recognized as drive E and F, the player software
- will only play a Portfolio disc from drive E.
