Well, here's as far as I have been able to get with the PARMCI installation under WIN 95. 1) Make sure the PAR is working under DOS and the PARINIT and PARDRV lines are in your autoexec.bat. A normal install will accomplish this. 2) Start WIN 95 and go to the Control Panel under Start/Settings. 3) Click: Add New Hardware. Follow the prompts asking you to click: Next, until you see a screen that has Sound, Video, Game Controllers on it. Click on this line. 4) Click: Have Disk. 5) Click: Browse. 6) Go to your DPS directory where you should find: OEMSETUP.INF. Click on it. Click the next three OK's, and then click: Finish. 7) A DPS dialogue box should appear. 8) This is where I had some trouble, I was not able to edit anything in this box. Not that anyone told me I could. 9) Now go to Accessories/Multimedia/Media player. 10) Click on Media player and click open. Go to the PAR Drive and see if you can see the PAR .ANI files. When I go to my PAR Drive to open an .ANI file, I see an exact copy of my C Drive directory structure. When I try to open a dir. The message "drive letter (yours will vary) is not accessible. If you want to get back to the DPS dialogue box: 1) Click on Control Panel (SEE #2 ABOVE). 2) Multimedia/Video/Advanced. 3) Media Control Devices. 4) MCI DPS Personal Animation Recorder. 5) Settings. I couldn't do a thing with this dialogue box. I bought my PAR back on 3/4/94 and maybe I need this chip I've heard about to make it work. I hope this helps those of you trying to get this driver working. If anyone has any thoughts on why the PAR Drive is mirroring my C Drive, let me know. Good luck and on with the battle!! Paul
