But before we start…..
Getting your computer up-to-date.
The Activ8rlives Service link is designed to run on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 and Apple’s
Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion versions of its OS.
It is strongly recommended that before you install the Activ8rlives Service Link that you bring
your computer’s operating system fully up-to-date with the latest version of its operating
system. You will need an internet connection throughout.
PCs running Microsoft’s Windows: If you have not already done so, go to the START menu
and navigate to Windows UPDATE . From there, and depending on the version of the
Windows operating system, you can install all of the updates required to make your system
current.
This is good practice for all Windows PCs users and will make the installation and operation of
the Service Link a great deal easier for you if a little time is spent doing this before proceeding.
A special note for Windows XP users. We all loved XP—it was stable and simple—but it has
now been left behind by the developers at Microsoft and you may need to upgrade your
operating system:

If you are running XP, it must be updated to at least Service Pack 2 . This free upgrade
can be found on the Microsoft support pages. With Windows XP, go to your Start
Button (bottom left) and to WINDOWS UPDATE to automatically update your system.
Once you have got your Windows PC up to date, we can get started. Worth spending the time
doing this though—as it is good practice and keeps your PC in good working order.
