Dave: Thanks for your installation description, I think I got close but I'll have to try it again on Monday. I got through the Windows control panel part where I added the drivers as you did. When I fired up the Media Player I thought I would see the device list include the Par MCI driver right away. If I understand you correctly, I should be able to open the PAR drive and select an .ani file which would THEN allow me to see the PAR MCI driver when I pick the DEVICE pull-down menu. At this time I should be able to fill in all of the criteria for FPS, fields and .wav association, right? I am hoping that this is all there is to it. I still think it would be nice for the DPS folks to officially upload the drivers with a brief readme file to keep idiots such as myself on track for a smooth install. I hear what you are saying about the VFW drivers, they come with everything now. The same is becoming true with WIN32s stuff. I swear installing Photoshop hosed my favorite CADD program MicroGDS due to different versions of associated Win32s files. I have no idea how to get this one sorted out. I tried re-installing MicroGDS but that didn't change anything, still won't fire up. 🙁 A couple years ago I got the CD Conection catalog but I lost track of them. How does one get to them via modem? Do they have a Compuserve 'GO' word? BTW, I have had a package sitting here with your name on it for several months. I can't believe that I haven't sent it off. Harrass me via e-mail until it arrives in your mailbox. Thanks for the info, Bob
