SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

· Windows 95/98/NT4

· Video card capable of at least 256 color mode, 800x600 resolution. However, the
themes will look best in high color or true color mode.

files in most of my themes are compressed in MPEG Layer-3 format.
To enjoy them you will need to install: "Microsoft NetShow v2.0" http://www.microsoft.com/netshow
