To use this software you must purchase the VCD version of Lu3 Bing1 Hua1 (Dull-Ice Flower), a product of the Mei Ah Laser Disc Co., Ltd. (BlueLaser.com is a good on-line source.) It currently only works with Mozilla, and, if you are running the XP version of Windows it will only work if the folders containing the software are copied directly to the root level of your C: drive. Double-click on the file name that starts with a plus sign. The other files are subsidiary to that one.

  • Important: The VCD has both Cantonese (on the left channel) and Mandarin (on the right channel). In order to isolate one or the other you will need to find the software control from your start/settings menu that lets you shift the stereo balance and move it all the way to the right. (The software is called "Volume Control" or SNDVOL32.EXE on the systems available to me.)

    For a plot summary see this website.
