Sometimes, you’ll install an application program on your internal hard disk
from a CD-ROM disc that contains the program. The following illustration
shows how to insert a CD-ROM disc into your computer’s CD-ROM drive,
the disc lying flat with the label side up.

For instructions on how to eject CD-ROM discs, see “Ejecting a CD-ROM
Disc” in Chapter 5.

To use your programs most effectively, follow these guidelines:

m

To avoid installation problems, turn off virus-detection programs before
you install any software.

m

Put only one copy of each program on your hard disk. Having more than
one copy can cause errors.

m

Whenever you copy a program disk to your hard disk, be careful not to
copy a System Folder. Always check to see what you’ve copied, and drag
any extra System Folders to the Trash.

m

If a program malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If that
doesn’t help, find out from the software manufacturer whether your version
of the program is compatible with the system software you’re using.
