FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions (updated Jan 10/2000)
~~~

Q: I downloaded the update but when I try to run it, it says some
   files are missing. Where can I get these files?
A: The update is for people who have already installed the full
   release, or who already have all the runtimes. Try installing
   the complete release, then the update (if it is a newer version).

Q: I get the error message: MMSYSTEM...
A1: Your MS MediaPlayer may be out of date, or the file you are trying
   to play is unsupported. Download MS MediaPlayer 6.4 or higher.
A2: The file may be corrupt or incompatible with MediaPlayer. Sometimes
   with MP3 files an incorrectly written ID3Tag can cause problems. Use
   a program such as WinAmp to remove the tag and try it again.

Q: I used to be able to play RealAudio/Video files but now I can't.
   What happened?
A: Support was available in MediaPlayer 6.0, but was removed for later
   versions. If you absolutely need to play Real files you must install
   the old 6.0 version of MediaPlayer.

Q: What is the difference between the MPEGVideo and ActiveMovie device?
A: Nothing. They are the same, unless you have installed an MPEG or DVD
   decoder card. These cards re-assign the MPEGVideo device to use the
   hardware decoder. Unfortunately they don't support all the file formats
   that the Microsoft driver does. ActiveMovie is simply the Microsoft
   driver with a different name. See the readme for details.

Q: Why does the FMTuner component stop working?
A: The FMTuner component must be registered.

Q: How do I listen to FM Radio on the internet?
A: Mimic does not yet support internet radio, only FM tuner cards.

Q: Does Mimic support [insert your favorite file type here] files?
   When will it support them?
A: Mimic uses MediaPlayer as it's playback engine and supports any
   format that MediaPlayer does. MediaPlayer is extensible via CODECs,
   so try upgrading MediaPlayer.

Q: When is the next release?
A: I have no set schedule. I release updates when I feel there are enough
   new or useful features to warrant a new release. If you are looking
   for new features please e-mail me and tell me what you want. I can't
   guarantee I will add them but the more requests I receive the greater
   chance I will consider it.
