• Each application is installed by browsing to the appropriate folder

(for example, Isis5.50 Install) on the CD and double-clicking on
the SETUP.EXE file found in that folder.

• TEI recommends that if you have more than one hard drive, you

install the software on the second (usually the D:) drive, using
the default folder names on the CD. You will be given the option
to select any drive during the setup process, select the Custom
option and change the drive letter.

• The first installation on an NT4.0 system requires a re-boot

during the installation; however, this only occurs for the first
installation. Under Windows 2000, no rebooting is necessary
during the installation process. However, you must reboot the
system after installing under Windows NT 4.0.

• For each application, a number of sample data files can be

optionally installed. These files will reside in a subfolder called
Demo Files within each application’s main folder. These special
files can be played back or processed by the relevant TEI
applications without a TEI sentinel being installed. If no sentinel
(dongle) is attached, a message displays, indicating either that a
sentinel was not found or that the sentinel is damaged. However,
you can still play back the sample files that come from the CD.

• In order to run the software in acquisition mode, or to play back

or process other files, you will need a TEI sentinel attached to
the LPT1 printer port. Contact TEI if you need a sentinel.

• If the operating system is Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000,

you will need to install a sentinel driver. The driver is included on
the CD in the Sentinel folder; a text file, with installation
instructions, is in that folder.

• In the case of Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 5 (or higher) needs

to be installed. Service Pack 5 is on the CD.

• The TEI manuals that are installed with the software are in

Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Acrobat Reader software (required
to read the PDF files) is also on the CD.

• The CD has a number of other folders containing drivers and

applications that could be required; each folder has a text file
with more information.

• To remove the software, use the Add/Remove Programs utility in

the Windows Control Panel collection of utilities.
