I am Trying to Load a Program Called Learn Spanish Now in Windows 95.
The Program Starts with an .avi File Which seems to Be OK but then it wants to Load a Bitmap Image as a Background Screen and I get the Message Än Unsupported Operation Was Attempted "
I have Checked the Multimedia Settings (All Selected ), and Video Codecs (Cinepak )- Installed.
What am I Missing ?
