In order to run iView Multimedia you need to have QuickTime 2.5 or later installed on you computer.
Macs within the last 5 years usually have this extension included with the system software.
QuickTime version 3.0 is strongly recommended, as it allows iView Multimedia access to many more media files and sounds.
QuickTime 3 can be downloaded free from:
http:\\www.apple.com\quicktime
On computers running MacOS earlier than 7.5 you also need to install the "Drag & Drop" & "Thread Manager" system extensions.
iView Multimedia supports Apple’s new Navigation Services open and save dialogs. To benefit from the new technology you should install the “Navigation” library in your system folder. This is built into system 8.5.
System Requirements
iView Multimedia will run on all color MacOS computers.
It is recommended that you use 8MB of free available RAM memory. iView Multimedia will typically use a third of this setting. The remaining memory is used to load "large" image files, or for memory intensive operations, such as printing, etc. If your images are larger than 10MB each, iView Multimedia may flag an out-of-memory message.
In this case you should consider increasing the applications' memory partition, by about 2MB at a time.
iView Multimedia requires about 10MB of free hard disk space for use as a scratch disk, when loading and editing catalogs. This scratch disk can be moved to any volume from the preferences.
Finally, for best viewing of your images you should set you monitor color settings to "thousands" or "millions" of colors.
Installing iViewXT
Installing iViewXT is explained in detail in a document in the iViewXT for Quark Express folder.
iViewXT is a Quark extension that saves previews into Quark files and allows iView Multimedia to also read,
display and catalog Quark files.
