1.0     Introduction

This self-extracting file contains the version 3.03 release of a software
MPEG Player designed for use with the following ATI Products;   
	
	VIDEO XPRESSION 
	VIDEO XPRESSION+
	3D XPRESSION
	3D XPRESSION+
	3D XPRESSION+ PC2TV
	3D PRO TURBO PC2TV
	All other ATI products based on the 3D RAGE, 3D RAGE II, VT and
	CT mach64 graphics processors.

If your ATI product came pre-installed in a complete system, you may
already have a special driver version installed (eg. IBM, AST, Gateway
2000, NEC, Sony). ATI graphics chips are implemented on many 3rd party
products. You may wish to contact your system manufacturer for drivers
certified for use with your system, especially if the ATI chip is
incorporated on the mainboard or motherboard. 

While this driver is currently not certified against ATI products based
upon the mach64 GX chips we fully expect that it shall work
satisfactorily.   Version 2.2X of the mach64 Windows 95 Display Driver
and ATI Player will continue to be available for use with mach64 GX
products.

Prior to installing the ATI Player, 
  
    -Windows 3.1x/95 MUST BE CONFIGURED for the appropriate ATI v3.03
     Windows Display Driver.
    
    -Windows 3.1X MUST have Video for Windows 1.1e installed.  
     Video for Windows 1.1e is available from all ATI download sites.
     Download VFW11E.ZIP.  PKUNZIP v2.04g is required to UNZIP this file.

    -Windows 95 MUST have DirectDraw installed. 
     The current version of DirectX (6 MB, self-extracting file) can be 
     found at http://www.microsoft.com/mediadev/download/isdk.htm
     Last tried on January 2, 1997.
