Sony provides a plug-in chooser application which you
can download from Sony's Web site. To install the application,
download the file npc10.zip (112 Kbytes)
and unzip it into a new application folder. Double-click on
the file NpChooser.exe to start the application
and bring up a plug-in chooser window.
The chooser window has an upper area that provides a scrolling
list of content-types (also known as MIME types). If you select
one of the content types, the lower part of the chooser window
displays lists of active and inactive plug-ins for that content
type. Clicking on the name of an active or inactive plug-in
displays information about that plug-in in the area to the right.
To enable or disable VRML plug-ins, scroll through the content
type list and look for one or more entries with VRML's
type code: x-world/x-vrml. Click on the content type
to display active and inactive plug-ins in the lower part of the
chooser window.
For each active plug-in you don't want,
click on the plug-in's name in the active list,
then click on the red down-arrow to slide the plug-in
to the inactive list. The chooser application automatically adds
an underscore ( _ ) to the plug-in's DLL name. Similarly,
to activate an inactive plug-in,
click on the plug-in's name in the inactive list,
then click on the red up-arrow to slide the plug-in to
the active list.
Once you have a VRML 2.0 browser installed, you should also adjust your
screen settings to use 16-bit colors (also called High Color
or 65535 colors).
Do not use 8-bit colors (also called 256 colors),
24-bit colors or 32-bit colors (also called
True colors).
8-bit colors give you too few colors to achieve smooth realistic shading
when VRML worlds are drawn.
24-bit and 32-bit colors give you plenty of colors for shading,
but the added colors
require extra processing in your VRML 2.0 browser. That extra processing
can significantly slow down the browser, reducing its interactivity.
