Some copy-protected programs require the computer to run at

low speed while accessing the program on a diskette. These

programs also usually require you to leave a key disk-the
diskette that contains the copy protection-in the diskette
drive. If you use a copy-protected program often, you may want

to set your processor speed to change automatically to low speed

when accessing the diskette and return to high speed when it is
finished.

There are different types of copy-protected programs. Depending

on the type you have, you may or may not want to set the
processor to automatic speed. Follow these guidelines:

❏ If you are using a copy-protected program that can run only

on a diskette or that requires a key disk, try to load the

program on high speed. If this works, you do not need to set

the speed to change automatically. If you can’t load the

program on high, set the speed to change automatically.

❏ If you are using a copy-protected program that does not

require a key disk but requires a special procedure to install

the program on a hard disk, set the speed to low while you
are installing the program. Once it is installed, set the speed
to high, where you should be able to leave it while you load
and run the program.

If this does not work, try installing and loading the program
at low speed and then change to high speed to run it. Do not

set the speed to change automatically.

There are three ways to change the processor speed:

❏ Run the Setup program on your Reference diskette

Enter a keyboard command

❏ Run the ESPEED program.
