Section 1: System Requirements
-----------------------------------------------------
Software:
* IBM-Compatible system with CPU of 486/33MHz or higher processor.
* 16MB of RAM
* Windows 95, or Windows 98
* Graphics capability with 256 colors or more (65K colors recommended)
* Sound card
* DVD-ROM
* DVD playback card or graphics card with software DVD playback
capability.
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 screen savers before using or installing the PCFriendly DVD.
Screen savers may interfere with the display of graphics and cursors.
Section 3: Installing Your PCFriendly DVD
-----------------------------------------------------
To install your PCFriendly DVD on your computer, insert the
enclosed DVD into the DVD-ROM drive on your computer.
Select the Start button from the Task Bar and select Run. In the
Command Line box, type d:\install and press Enter. (We'll assume
that your computer designates "d:" as the DVD-ROM drive. If your
computer uses another letter--like "e:" for example--type e:\install
and press Enter.) Follow the instructions in the Installation
program.
To playback MPEG or DVD files, YOU MUST BE RUNNING A MPEG or DVD
DECODER 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 are running a software MPEG codec such as
Xing, MediaMatics, ActiveMovie, or Zoran, 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 or DVD playback!
How do I know if my system has a MPEG or DVD CODEC loaded? Our
installation program will inform you. If the installation does not
find any MPEG or DVD drivers available on your system, you will need
to contact your board or system manufacturer to obtain the appropriate
drivers.
Section 4: Running Your PCFriendly DVD
-----------------------------------------------------
Starting Your PCFriendly DVD:
The installation program will create (1) a program group called
"PCFriendly" with an icon for running the PCFriendly software, and
(2) an PCFriendly icon on your desktop. Just double click the PCFriendly
icon to start the program.
For more information on using your PCFriendly DVD, just click
the help button on the remote control after starting the program.
Exiting PCFriendly:
To exit the PCFriendly software, just click the OFF button on the
remote control.
Section 5: Uninstalling PCFriendly Software
-----------------------------------------------------
To uninstall the PCFriendly Software on your computer, simply
access the Control Panel and run Add/Remove Programs by double
clicking the icon. You will see an entry called "PCFriendly."
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 any PCFriendly DVS, and remove all references
to the PCFriendly DVD.
