Hi, I just received Nautilus 2-13 and am unable to install Video for Windows. I get an error message when running setup: Could not load file named "E:\DISK1\MPLAYER.EX_". Is there a way to manually install VFW? Any help appreciated. CDROM drive is E. Thanks Cheryl

Just like to say that I am having the same problem with my copy also. Ted

Ted — Unfortunately, on Vol 2-13, there was a problem with the setup.inf file that directs the setup program where to find all its files. You can get around it by simply copying the VFWSETUP directory to a directory on your hard disk or a floppy and naming that directory "DISK1" – then run the setup program from there. Truly an unfortunate mistake – one which will be fixed on the next disc, you can be sure. (But by then, you'll undoubtedly have VFW already installed! <g>). Margo Riedel Nautilus
