There are two types of Videograms that you can play: self-executing Videograms that include the Player in the file, and
Videograms that require the Player to be installed on the playing system. Playback for both of these files is described in
this chapter. For best results, both types of Videograms should be played back on a minimum
486DX/2 66 system (as described in Chapter 1, Minimum System Requirements).
Under Windows 95
You can play Videograms with a built-in Player (.EXE files) under Windows 95 in one of two ways:
•
From “Start”, click on “Programs”, then select “Windows Explorer”. Locate the Videogram file and double-click on it
to begin playing.
•
From “Start”, click on “Run”, then click the Browse button. Locate the Videogram file and double-click on it to begin
playing.
Under Windows 3.1x
You can play Videograms with a built-in Player (.EXE files) under Windows 3.1x in one of two ways:
•
From “File Manager” in the “Main” group of “Program Manager”, locate and double-click on the Videogram file.
•
From the “Program Manager” title bar, click on “File” and “Run”. Use the Browse button to locate the Videogram file.
Double-click on the Videogram file. Click the “Run” button to start playing the Videogram file.

Playing Non-Executable Videogram Files
These are the Videograms with the file extension .VGM. The Videogram Creator Application, as described in Chapter 3,
will allow Videograms to be created without a built-in player to further decrease the Videogram’s file size. This is ideal for
frequent Videogram receivers and eliminates wasted hard drive space by only having one Videogram Player.
Updates to this player are available free of charge from the Home Page on the Internet at http://www.alaris.com
You can playback Videogram files without a built-in player (.VGM) under Windows 3.1 and 95 by using the Videogram
Player application. By double-clicking on the “Videogram Player” icon in the “ Videogram” program group you can launch
the Videogram Player Application.
This will launch the Videogram Player Application as shown here:
