These are audio slide shows, with full-screen 1024X768 pix sync'd to a sound track. To check or change your screen resolution (in Windows), hit Start > Control Panel > Display > Settings, and adjust the slider to 1024X768. On a Mac? Beats me.

If your audio's screwy, try Start > All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Volume Control.

The "low" versions will play over a dial-up connection of 45kbps or better. The "high" versions run 100kbps. You can load the "high" version into your computer's memory on any speed connection, if you're willing to wait for it to download (up to 40 minutes on a really slow dial-up). Once the whole thing is loaded to the end (a black screen with buttons), hit the menu button at the lower right. Clicking on the first graphic at the upper left of the menu will start the slideshow playing from the beginning, just as if you had a high-speed connection, and you can flip through it as you please. Just remember, once you close the piece, it's gone, and you'll have to download it all over again to see it again.

You can use the menu to jump to a clip, then use the "next" button to skip through pic by pic. Or you can kick back, let it roll, and watch it like TV.

Feedback's always appreciated - joe@gazette9.com

On with the show!
