To avoid download problems, the
file "c51unimx" will be in .zip format. If you do not have a folder to
save such files, it is suggested you create a folder on the C: drive named
'InstallCrescendo' and save to that location.  After saving, you will
need to use WinZip to extract the file to the same folder.  Then click
on c51unimx.exe and the Install process will begin. This version will install
to either Netscape or Internet Explorer, or both if you have them installed.

CAUTIONS:
During the installation process, there are several screens. On the first
"Select Components" screen, uncheck "LiveSynth PLUS [TM]" as this is a
very poor quality software synthesizer. 

On a later "Select Components"
screen you will be shown two options for files you wish to have Crescendo
play.  If you already have an MP3 player, such as WinAmp, it is suggested
you uncheck "MPEG Audio Files [.mps, .m3u]" 

After installation, and when
Crescendo is playing -- Click on the Stop button.  Click on Options
then MIDI Devices.  Make sure LiveSynth is NOT selected.  Choose
one of the other Synth options listed, which would include your soundcard. 
If you have several choices, play each choice a little, then select another
output device. (DO NOT select MIDI Out as this is for use with an external
sythesizer only.) You will be able to hear which is the best choice.
