USING MEDIABURST MOVIE WITH OS/2
________________________________
If you are using a supported video mode, MediaBurst
Movie option runs automatically, and improves the
speed and picture quality of the video clip.
USING MEDIABURST MOVIE WITH WIN-OS/2
____________________________________
The MediaBurst Movie option also works with
WIN-OS/2*. However, you must first purchase and
install a video application program, such as "Video
for Windows 1.1" or similar software. To use Video
acceleration under WIN-OS/2, you must run the
PPINIT.EXE program from the WIN-OS/2 Program Manager.

directory. To run this program:
1. Select FILE from the Program Manager Menu.
2. Select RUN.
3. Type \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\PPINIT.EXE, and
select OK.
You are now ready to use the Windows video
applications from the WIN-OS/2 Program Manager.
WARNING: You must run your Windows video
applications from the same Program Manager session
that has the PPINIT.EXE program started. If you do
not run the Windows video applications from this same
Program Manager session, video acceleration will not
be enabled. To ensure that the PPINIT.EXE program is
running, do not attempt to run the Windows video
programs from your OS/2 desktop.
Page 12
NOTE: Under certain circumstances, the PowerPlay
Control utility will not work properly when

Page 14
memory remaining for the driver to use in the
selected display mode.
SOLUTION: Change to a different display mode, for
example 800X600X64K colors.
MESSAGE 2:The PowerPlay driver was not loaded because
another session is using the MediaBurst Option
hardware.
There are two potential problems that can cause this:
PROBLEM 1: The PM PowerPlay driver has been

SOLUTION: Perform these steps:
1. Close the seamless PowerPlay application that
was loaded when the PowerPlay driver failed
to load.
2. Close all other PowerPlay applications that
are active.
3. Restart the seamless PowerPlay application.
PROBLEM 2: A seamless session already has
PowerPlay loaded. This can be verified by
running the PowerPlay utility. The utility will
display an error message if the PowerPlay driver
is not present.
Page 15
SOLUTION: There are two ways to resolve this
problem:
o Close the seamless session that has PowerPlay
loaded; then start the PowerPlay application
that you want to use.
o Change the Settings notebook for the seamless
PowerPlay application to disable the SEPARATE

1. Display the pop-up menu for the seamless
PowerPlay session by pressing mouse
button 2.
2. Select the arrow to the right of OPEN;
then select SETTINGS.

not support SVGA.
PROBLEM: The VESA SVGA BIOS extension and DMQS files
were not updated before attempting to install the
MESSAGE 4: The PowerPlay driver is not installed.
There are two causes of this problem:
PROBLEM 1: The PPINIT.EXE program has not been
started.
SOLUTION: Run the PPINIT.EXE program from the
WIN-OS/2 Program Manager, and then restart the
program from the same Program Manager session.
PROBLEM 2: You are attempting to run in an
unsupported video mode, such as 640X480X16777216.
SOLUTION: Change to a supported video mode. For
instructions, refer to "SELECT RESOLUTION SUPPORTED
BY MEDIABURST OPTION" on page 10.
