IF YOU’VE GOT PROBLEMS (OF THE CD KIND)

I tried my best to compile demo programs that work on most computers with the minimum system requirements. Alas, your computer may differ, and some programs may not work properly for some reason.

                             ***TIP***

Before calling the technical support line, try one or more of these methods and then try using the software again:

* Turn off any anti-virus software that you have on your computer. Installers (also called "Setup" programs) sometimes mimic virus activity and may make your computer incorrectly believe that it is being infected by a virus.

* Close all running programs. When other programs are running,less memory is available to other programs. Installers also typically update files and programs. So if you keep other programs running, installation may not work properly.

* Check the program’s documentation, which you typically find in a file named README.TXT. Not all programs have such a file, but most do. You can find valuable information on how to install and run the programs in these documents.

* Verify that the software you’re trying to install or use is meant for your version of Windows.
