SYMPTOMS
When you try to run one of the programs listed in the applies to section of this article on a computer running Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, you receive error messages or slow, choppy performance.

NOTE: The program appears to install without a problem and you do not receive any error messages during Setup.



CAUSE
The DreamWorks products use DirectX and must have the DirectX support provided by the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3.



RESOLUTION
Obtain the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 from the following Microsoft FTP address:

ftp://microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt40/ussp3



MORE INFORMATION
The products listed in the applies to section of this article will install on Windows NT 4.0 without a problem, but they will not run unless you have obtained the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3.

DirectX installation is a part of DreamWorks Setup. DirectX Setup will run by default and appear to install correctly, but it does not include support for Windows NT 4.0. Only the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 will install DirectX drivers that provide support for Windows NT 4.0.
