How to
download
You can download the Real Video files
of each presentation. The following paragraph explains to you how to
download the files, how to decompress them, and finally how to open them
in Real Player.
DOWNLOAD THE FILE
(1) Select a title you wish to download from
the Download drop down box.
(2) You will see the "File Download" dialog box. Click on OK.
(3) Then you will see the "Save As"
dialog box. You need to specify a directory on your computer where you
want to save the file to. Once you are in that directory, click on the
"Save" button to save the file. You can leave the file name as
is, or you can give it any name you want. However, do not forget to take a
note of the file name and the location you saved it.
DECOMPRESS THE FILE
(4) In your file directory, go to the directory and double-click on the
file you just saved to decompress it. The file is a compressed file having
the .exe extension (e.g.: wshop1.exe).
(5) In the "Unzip" dialog box click on the "Unzip"
button to decompress the file. Though there is a default unzip directory
specified in the "Unzip to folder" text box (e.g.:
c:/temp/wshop1), you can type any directory here to unzip the files to.
Don't forget to take a note of the location.
(6) The Win-Zip Self-Extractor then reports to you that "X number of
files unzipped successfully". Click on OK to close this box, and then
click on the "Close" button to exit Win-Zip Self-Extractor.
OPEN THE FILE IN REAL PLAYER G2
(7) In your file directory, go to the directory (e.g.: c:/temp/wshop1)
where you decompressed the files in step 5, and double-click on the file
with the .smi extension (e.g.: wshop1.smi). When you click on this
file your RealPlayer G2 will open and the presentation starts immediately.
Enjoy the show ;-)
