install the patch again.

2. The updated file must replace the ccad.dll file in your 
\windows\system directory.  Run the self-extracting installer and

Known Limitations
------------------

Under Windows 98 the Power Management for Monitor should be disabled. 
From "Control Panel" open "Power Management Properties", and select 
"Never" in "Turn off monitor" setting.

For the best quality and performance, the DVD should be played at
800x600 High Color (16bit).

SoftDVD is currently not compatible with the Cyrix processor.  This
is being investigated.

If you experience problems with playback where the subtitles or DVD
images goes pink, lower the refresh rate.  This can be done in Control
Panel | Display | Settings | Advanced Properties | Adapter.
