I downloaded Autoflix.arc and have not been able to get it to run on my sys. I have a Packard Bell EGA monitor, a clone computer with an IBM EGA color card. The arc file has been unarced with pkxarc, ver 3.5. What suggestions do you have that will enable me to get the program to run on my system. I've created a FLIX dir, read the directions and attempted to follow them. Would you please help.

In the words of a robot seen in some silly movie – .. NEED MORE DATA! .. What commands did you issue from the DOS prompt and what responses were getting? .. ..

I am very interested in what your systems has. Please outline all the parameters in detail. Include things like CONFIG.SYS and Autoexec.bat. Autoflix is pretty straight forward. When you FIRST type AFEGA <film.mov> it will ask you what type of pointing device you are using. After this point you will see your movie played. (The config only happens the one time, less AFLIX.CFG is not found.) What I need to know is, did it ask you to select a pointing device? Are there any error messages being displayed? Your EGA monitor is color, right? (EGA mono will not work) Jamie
