     Installation:

     You must be logged in as an administrator when installing ACE.

     You don't have to uninstall previous version of ACE before installing
     the new version and you don't have to enter a licence code if you 
     already have registered ACE.

     Run setup.exe (or ACE.exe if you are installing the downloadable 
     version). Follow the instructions. After the successful installation
     of ACE you will find a new icon in the folder tree on the left side 
     of Windows Explorer - called Network Cameras. 
     You may have to refresh the Explorer after the installation.

     Uninstallation / reinstallation:

     Uninstall will remove all of the objects (cameras, albums and live
     video sites) you have added. If you need to uninstall ACE and still
     want to keep your objects for later use, back up the following file
     (found in the Windows/Winnt directory): 
     B70B3711_525C_11D4_B070_009027BD8645.rfo.

     ACE will create a new B70B...rfo file when it is reinstalled. 
     Replace the B70B...rfo file with the one you backed up.

     --------------------------------------------------------------------

     Known limitations:


     1. Camera object names:
        Avoid using DNS names when you are naming a Camera or Live video
        site objects in the Explorer. In some cases the Internet Explorer
        will try to open the camera object instead of connecting to the
        camera when you enter the DNS name in the Address field.

     2. Delete and View button:
        You can not use the delete and view buttons in the toolbar to
        delete objects or to change the view style (large icons, 
        details etc) of the folder view if you are running Windows 2000
        or Windows Me. Use the context meny or the View menu instead.

     3. With some new Axis products, user and password for the camera 
        must be entered to enable autodetection of device type.
