3.0	Installation Notes

If you haved installed a previous version of the ATI Video Player you must
uninstall it before installing v3.1.  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.

To uncompress W95PLY31.EXE and install the ATI Video Player use the following
procedure.

1.  Start Windows 95.

2.  Install the required Windows 95 ATI Display Driver.

3.  Confirm DirectX 2 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.
