General instructions for installing viewers

STEP 1: Download the specific viewer to your system. It is a good idea to download the file to a temporary directory (or folder) such as \TEMP (if you don't know how to make directories read your Windows or MacOS manual).

STEP 2: Install the viewer on your system (for Windows 95, select START then RUN and type in the location and name of the file that you just downloaded).

Note: Some viewers may require you to uncompress the file first, then install. If so, most likely it can be uncompressed using a software developed by Winzip.

STEP 3: Follow the installation instructions presented to you. Afterwards, the viewer should be installed on your system.

STEP 4: You will most likely have to restart your web browser before using the viewer.

STEP 5: Return to our website and search for your favorite video website or clip.

STEP 6: Once you find the video link that you want, click on it, then sit back and enjoy!
