    • If you have Windows 95 or 98 select Entertainment and launch Windows Media Player.
    • If you have Windows NT select Multimedia and launch Windows Media Player.
  5. In Media Player, click on File, Open.
  6. Click on Browse and go to the location of The Alim CD-ROM. You should be able to view the files on the CD-ROM.
  7. Go to the Media directory.
  8. Go to any Reciter's directory (Basit, Ayub, JDHall).
  9. Select a file and click on Open.
  10. Click OK.
