Section 2:  Before You Run Installation, Be Sure To...
-----------------------------------------------------
Before installing any Windows application, you may want to perform 
a little housekeeping.  You may skip these steps and go directly to 
the installation steps (described in sections 3 and 4), but keep 
these housekeeping suggestions in mind if you run into any installation 
problems:

*  Disable any non-FMV screen savers before using or installing 
the CD-ROM title.  Other screen savers may interfere with the display 
of graphics and cursors.


To playback MPEG files, YOU MUST BE RUNNING A MPEG CODEC IN ORDER 
FOR THIS APPLICATION TO RUN PROPERLY.  Be sure to get the latest 
video drivers from your graphics board or system manufacturer.  
If you just upgraded your system from Windows 3.1X to Windows 95, 
you must contact you graphics board or system manufacturer to 
receive their latest version of Windows 95 video drivers.  If you 
are running a software MPEG codec such as MediaMatics, 
ActiveMovie, or CompCore, you must also make sure that you have 
DirectDraw available and loaded on your system.  If this seems 
confusing, and it is, please contact your board manufacturer or 
system manufacturer for details specific to your system.  They 
will be able to fully describe your system to you and all the 
requirements for MPEG playback!

How do I know if my system has a MPEG CODEC loaded?  Our installation 
program will inform you.  If the installation does not find any MPEG 
drivers available on your system, you will need to contact your board 
or system manufacturer to obtain the appropriate drivers.


Section 4:  Running FMV
-----------------------------------------------------
Starting FMV:

The installation program will also create a program group called 
"FMV " with an icon for the FMV.  Just double click 
the FMV icon to run as stand alone program. 

Adding Your Own Movies and Graphics to FMV:

To add your own multimedia elements to FMV, check out 
our built in help file for more details.



Section 5:  Uninstalling Under Windows 95 / 98 / NT
-----------------------------------------------------
To uninstall FMV on your computer under Windows 95, simply 
access the Control Panel and run Add/Remove Programs by double 
clicking the icon.  You will see an entry called "FMV."  
Select this entry (by single clicking the text) and then select 
click on the Remove button.  This action will delete all the files 
installed by FMV, and remove all references to FMV.


If you find any additional issues with your version of FMV, 
please foward them via email to Slipstream@dial.pipex.com

Thank you for your help.
