When I try to play a movie or flic I get an error mess. Can't play animation, no timers available. The first time I installed all played well and I have since reinstalled the software. I running win 3.1 on a dell 486/66 28 meg ram. I have tried playing with just the player program and the flic loads but nothing happens. Lu

(free RAM, free harddisk space, swap file size), and how big are these movies or flics (size). -dave
