Here are directions for our MCI player. If you have not downloaded the MCIAAP.ZIP file, you might try downloading the WINPLA.EXE file from this forum. This includes the MCIAAP drivers, as well as installs the AAPLAY.DLL driver. The MCIAAP.DRV file is a windows MCI driver that adds Animation Player capability to your Windows 3.1 MCI interface. Once the driver is properly installed, you should be able to bring up the Media Player and see 'Animation1' as an additional option under the Device menu. This will verify that the driver is properly installed and now available for any application that can make use of MCI commands. To install: 1) Copy the file MCIAAP.DRV to your \windows\system subdirectory. 2) Load the file SYSTEM.INI into an editor, such as notepad under Windows, or Edit under DOS 5.0. 3) Locate the line '[mci]' (without the apostrphe's). If this section does not exist, you may add it to the end of the file by adding a line that says '[mci]'. 3) Add the following line to this section: Animation1=mciaap.drv 4) If you are in windows, you will need to exit out and restart windows for this change to take effect. 5) Test the installation by bringing up the Media Player (part of the accessories group) and looking at the Device Menu. Animation1 should now be an option on that list.
