Arthur, If you have The Multimedia Explorer then you have the Windows Player. If you don't have the Explorer, please send in your registration card and it will be sent to you as part of the bonus materials. If you pick the "ABOUT" box on the Windows Player, it says that it is freely distributable. I quote: "This program may be freely distributed without modification, including the copyright notice of Autodesk" Please, no more of this Mr. Sergneri stuff. The name's John. John

Thanks for the quick reply John, I own the "Animator Pro", and have been told that there is NO upgrade path to M.M.Explorer by my AutoDesk Multi-Media Dealer. I've sent in my regestration card six (6) months ago, and have been told that the bonus disk material was not available yet, which is why I have not recieved any yet. I could desparately use the Windows Player and wish there was a way to download it from this forum. I would also appreciate any clerifications you might have on the above two (2) issues John. If you have a direct number I may dial to discuss this, please forward this to me and I'll be more than happy to go thru my registration info with whomever. Please do not send me thru your help line again, they do not seem to be that helpfull. Thank You again. Sincerely, Arthur Alexander III

>>I own the "Animator Pro", and have been told that there is NO ugrade path to M.M.Explorer by my AutoDesk Multi-Media Dealer. Your dealer is correct, there is no connection between the products. Explorer is a "retail" product and is not sold by the MM dealers. Please call our customer service department (or ask your dealer to do so). The bonus packs have been shipping since November and all registered users should have recieved the package by now. We're not infallible and normally something will screw up when doing a large mailing. You can send me an email with your telephone number and I'll forward it to customer service. They should be able to help. The Player has not been uploaded to CIS and is not available for downloading. John

John, I am curious as to your experience with the Explorer package. I cannot get the premade scripts to run full screen or from memory. What is the story here? I would like to play four scripts simultaneously on my 20" monitor. I can do this by opening four instances of the player, each running a single animation. The CD-ROM just can't keep up playing four scripts. I am thinking about copying the files to my hard disk but if I can't play them from memory it probably won't help much. How many scripts can you run and what hardware are you using? Thanks Mike
