A.
-The AeroCD disc is complete with everything you need to run and use its content. Just install Quicktime from the disc to be able to open the .pdf files that contain lessons. Quicktime is provided for you to see the movie files, in case you don't have it already installed on your computer. Back to top-

-The Quicktime version on the disc is well suited for running the AeroCD, however, there are newer versions available online. Some versions work best with specific Operating Systems. It's best to install Quicktime from the disc, and later go online and look for the latest version available for your computer. Back to top-

-Media viewing programs make themselves the 'default' program for viewing movies and music on your computer. I apologize for this. It's Apple and Microsoft, not us-)To reset your computer's default settings to a media player other than Quicktime in Windows, click 'Start', then click 'set defaults'. Locate default file settings and follow the simple, easy to use instructions Microsoft has provided. Back to top-

-It is possible to carefully orchestrate default settings during installation of Quicktime. The process is fairly advanced. To do that, choose 'mime settings' when the window is displayed, and choose only the files you want associated with Quicktime as a media player. See the method above for the easier way- allowing easy installation, and then resetting defaults afterward. Back to top-

-The AeroCD is designed to operate on Windows98 and newer. Older Windows Operating Systems require an earlier versions of Quicktime to use the AeroCD. The appropriate versions is provided on the disc. If you have an older OS, it's a good idea to keep the version from the disc installed. If the right version is already installed, the installer will let you know, and you can bypass the installation. We have gone to great lengths to make older systems capable of accessing this great program and information. Back to top-

-Yes, AeroCD works on Mac Operating Systems to OSX. Back to top-
