Using CD-ROM
Software The first time you use a software program that comes on a
compact disc, it may load a certain amount of program data
onto the hard drive of your computer. This enables the program
to run more efficiently in the future.
Read the software manufacturer's instructions that accompany
the compact disc before you attempt to use it. Information to
look for includes:
■ How much hard disk space will this program require? Do
you have enough disk space?
■ Will you activate the disc from Windows or from the system
prompt?
■ Have you connected any special devices the disc requires,
such as a joystick or a keyboard?
■ Does the disc have a setup program that requires you to
answer questions?

documentation included with the computer, or to the Media
Player online help for more information.

Some software compact discs take control of the keyboard. If
this occurs, adjust the sound before starting the software.
