Instructions:
---------------
Now with QuickTime .MOV support!
Plays all your QuickTime and Video for
Windows clips. The Galt Video Launch Pad
is an ideal MOV/AVI video file player. 
It allows you to store up to 10
videos in memory, all playable at the
touch of a button -- simply click on the
'Select/Store Video' button and then the 'Play
Video' button. No more hunting through
directories each time you want to play your
favorite video clips. The names of the stored
clips are displayed on the screen so they
are easy to remember. Quickly browse through
all videos in a directory. It also allows you to 
switch between Full Screen mode and Window mode 
for displaying video. It features a drag bar
to 'scroll' through the video as it is updated
in real time, along with standard stop, play,
and rewind controls. Advanced features include: 
freeze frame control, play in reverse, and 
capture and save frozen image as BMP.
Much more convenient than the standard media 
player. Registration fee of $29 brings you a 
CD-ROM filled with screen-shattering video 
clips, and the video screen saver, Full Motion. 
These clips bring your system to life with 
rollercoasters, speedboats, skiiing, skydiving, 
airplanes, waterfalls, the space shuttle, and 
more! See the 'Video CD Offer' button for details.
=============================================

Troubleshooting:
================
If you receive an error message "EMCI device error"
when you try to run VLP 2.3, it means you do not have
Microsoft Video for Windows installed.

You can download this from AOL, Compuserve, or our web
page (www.galttech.com). It is a free download. After 
you install it, your system will be video ready and 
VLP 2.3 will run without difficulties.
