Michael — What graphics card are you using? AutoFlix runs on the IBM EGA (and 100% compatibles), and ONLY the EGA. That could be the problem. If you are using an EGA, could you please give us more information about your hardware/software setup? — Brad ..

Michael, you may also need to download some "movies" (.MOV files) to "project". If you just enter "AFEGA" at the DOS prompt, the program will display a message showing command-line syntax and options. The simplest way to run the projector part of the program is to enter "AFEGA [FILE]" at the DOS prompt. For example, if you had a "movie" file called DEMO.MOV, you would enter "AFEGA DEMO". Options can also be entered, like "AFEGA -P DEMO". To compile your own movie is easy, but for this you should read the documentation ("when all else fails, read the docs…"). =SM=
