current display driver is loaded and working properly.

3. Confirm DirectX 3 or later has been previously installed by running 
DXSETUP.EXE from C:\PROGRAM FILES\DIRECTX\ and look under Component 
for Direct3D.  If DXSETUP.EXE is not found you should download and 
install the most recent version of DirectX from Microsoft.  If the 
DirectX setup program asks to overwrite your display driver during 
installation, select NO to keep the ATI supplied display driver.

4. Click START, select RUN and BROWSE to the directory where you 
DOWNLOADED W95PL435.EXE. Or enter the path and file name manually.

5. Follow the instructions displayed to uncompress the installation

Player.

After successfully installing the ATI Video Player, you can delete the 
contents of the directory C:\ATI\SUPPORT\w95pl435 using the 'Remove ATI

***********************************************************************
1.0 WARNING
If your ATI product came pre-installed in a complete system, you may 
already have a special driver version installed (e.g. IBM, COMPAQ AST, 
Gateway, HP, NEC, Sony). ATI graphic chips are implemented on many 3rd 
party products. You should contact your system integrator for drivers 
certified for use with your system, especially if the ATI chip is 
incorporated on the motherboard.  

***********************************************************************
2.0 QUICK START NOTES

1. Uninstall any previous version of the ATI VIDEO PLAYER before 
installing the ATI VIDEO PLAYER included in this package. (This step 
is recommended because the ATI VIDEO PLAYER setup program will not 
check for TV TUNER and CAPTURE capability if a previous version of 
the VIDEO PLAYER is present.) 

2. Your ATI display adapter MUST be working properly and configured 
with the appropriate Windows 95 or ATI Enhanced display driver.

3. DirectX MUST be installed. DirectX 5 is recommended.

If these conditions are met, you should be able to install this version
of the ATI VIDEO PLAYER immediately.

For more detailed instructions, continue reading.

*********************************************************************** 
3.0 RECOMMENDED DISPLAY DRIVER

Version 4.35 of the ATI VIDEO PLAYER will work with all 3D RAGE based 
ATI display adapters. However, different display adapters have 
different recommended display drivers. Generally speaking, the  
recommended display driver will be found on the ATI INSTALLATION CD 
that came with display adapter.

If your current display driver is working properly, then feel free to 
install this version of the ATI VIDEO PLAYER.

If you have an older version of the ATI display driver you can download
the recommended version from the ATI internet WEB site:

http://support.atitech.ca/drivers/drivers.html

 File name: w95-2278.exe for 3D RAGE PRO, 3D RAGE II+ or VT chipsets

*********************************************************************** 
4.0 IDENTIFYING THE ATI DISPLAY DRIVER VERSION

If you installed the ATI display driver from an ATI INSTALLATION CD the
version number of the Windows 95 display driver matches the last 3 
digits of the ATI part number on the face of the CD. To locate the ATI
part number on the label side of the CD,  find the box in the lower 
right quadrant (4 o'clock position) and note the LAST 3 digits. For 
example if the part number is "180-G01005-435" the CD is referred to as 
version 4.35 and the Windows 95 version is also referred to as 4.35.

If the display driver was pre-installed on the system, you can check 
the version number using the DEVICE MANAGER page of SYSTEM PROPERTIES 
as follows:
- Click the START button and select Settings, to launch CONTROL PANEL.
- Double click the SYSTEM icon to view SYSTEM PROPERTIES.
- Select the DEVICE MANAGER tab and double click the Display Adapters 
  device category and then double click the ATI display adapter.
! This will display the properties for the currently installed adapter.
- Select the DRIVER tab. (If present click the "Driver File Details"
  button)
! The "macxw4.drv" driver file will be highlighted and the file version
  will be displayed below. For example the file version may be 
  4.10.2278. This number (4.10.2278) is the file version number used
  by Windows 95 and is actually the same driver that is found on  
  version 4.35 of the ATI INSTALLATION CD.

*********************************************************************** 
5.0 DIRECT X

Confirm DirectX 5 has been previously installed by running DXSETUP.EXE 
from  C:\PROGRAM FILES\DIRECTX\ and look under Component for
Direct3D.  If DXSETUP.EXE is not found you should download and install 
the most recent version of DirectX from Microsoft.  If the DirectX 
setup program asks to overwrite your display driver during installation 
select NO to keep the ATI supplied display driver.

Windows 95 MUST have DirectX 3 or later installed. DirectX is not 
included with this version of the ATI Video Player. The current version 
of DirectX can be found at: 

http://www.microsoft.com/directx
         
DirectX is included on the ATI INSTALLATION CD and may be installed by 
running the DXSETUP program from the ATIPLAY\DDRAW\DIRECTX sub-
directory.

* ATI INSTALLATION CD version 3.14 includes DIRECTX 3.
* ATI INSTALLATION CD version 4.35 includes DIRECTX 5.

*********************************************************************** 
6.0 REMOVING (UN-INSTALLING) A PREVIOUS ATI VIDEO PLAYER

If you have installed a previous version of the ATI Video Player, you 
must uninstall it before installing v4.35.  The ATI SETUP program 
included with the previous version of the ATI Video Player can be used 
to uninstall the software or you may use Add/Remove Programs from the 
Windows 95 Control Panel to uninstall the Player.

*********************************************************************** 
7.0 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

ATI 3D RAGE display adapters and TV TUNER products will function in any
486 or Pentium, PCI system, HOWEVER, SOFTWARE MPEG playback and VIDEO 
CAPTURE capability, place a heavy demand on ALL system resources. With 
that in mind, the minimum recommended system is a Pentium with a double 
speed CD ROM.
