Adding and Removing Software
Software can be installed from a CD, a diskette, or
downloaded from a Web site. Many software CDs
automatically begin the installation process when placed in
the CD drive. If you have software that does not automatically
begin the installation process, you can install the software by
using the Microsoft Windows Add/Remove Programs utility.

diskette or from a CD that
does not automatically install,

1. Close all programs.
2. From the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to
Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs

icon.
The Add/Remove Program Properties window is
displayed.
4. Click Install.
5. Insert the CD or diskette into the proper drive and click
Next.

installation process.
