Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 seems to come with the Cosmo VRML player automatically installed (if not, see Windows below).  Microsoft IE4 can be VRML enabled by selecting the "VRML 2 Viewer" entry from the "Install IE4 Add-on Components" when you first insert the CD. 

For either Internet Explorer or Netscape, we suggest for better quality 3D viewing that you download the free Cosmo Player Version 2.1.
Unix -- cosmo.sgi.com Windows -- www.zdnet.com/downloads... search "cosmo"

With Netscape Navigator you can tell if your browser is already VRML enabled by checking... Help, About-Plugins. You are already VRML enabled if you see something like:

Mime Type	Description	Suffixes	Enabled
x-world/x-vrml	VRML Worlds	wrl	Yes

If you are not already enabled, you can quickly and easily download VRML plugins from a variety of sources, including:

	Parallel Graphics offers the very nice free Cortona VRML client [Windows, Mac and Pocket PCs]
	Cosmo Player is a result of SGI's Webspace effort. [Windows 95, Windows NT, and SGI Irix]
	WIRL is a plugin available for installation with either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer [Windows 95, Windows NT; Unix in development]
	Model Viewer is a Netscape helper application provided by HP [HP-UX]
	VRwave is a VRML 2.0 browser plugin [various operating systems, including Sun]
