SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
===================

* Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0
* 386 or better (Pentium recommended)
* 16 MB RAM
* 3.0 MB of free disk space
* 800x600 (or higher) desktop resolution recommended

INSTALLATION
============

Run SETUP.EXE and follow the instructions in the install program.

If you want to uninstall PixWizard after installing it, click on the
"Add/Remove Programs" icon in the Control Panel, select PixWizard in the
installed software list, and press the Remove button.

Installation Notes:
* If you have a version of PixWizard already installed on your system, you
  should un-install it before installing this version.
* In the Setup Type Dialog, you will be given a choice of three setup types:
  * Typical - install PixWizard and all file format filters
  * Compact - install PixWizard and the most commonly used file format
    filters
  * Custom - lets you choose which components to install.  If you would
    like to speed up PixWizard’s startup time, we recommend that you choose
    this setup type and install only the file format filters that you plan
    on using.


KNOWN PROBLEMS
==============

* When you screen capture the entire desktop, PixWizard may capture
  windows that haven't refreshed yet.

* When you capture an area of a desktop and for the start of the
  selection region you click on the client area of a window, the selection
  region may not be updated correctly if you move the cursor outside that
  window.

* PixWizard cannot read Kodak Photo CD Overview Pac's yet.
