Problem: 

Installation CD does not automatically start�

solution:

If the CD-ROM does not start the Setup Assistant automatically, it could 

be that the computer is running other applications that are interfering 

with the CD drive� 

1� 

If the Setup Assistant screen does not appear 

within 15–20 seconds, open up your CD-ROM 

drive by double-clicking on the “My Computer” 

icon that is located on your desktop�

2� 

Next, double-click on the CD-ROM drive that the Setup Assistant 

Software CD has been placed in to start the installation�

3� 

The Setup Assistant should start within a few seconds� If, instead, 

a window appears showing the files on the CD, double-click on the 

icon labeled “SetupAssistant�exe”�

4� 

If the Setup Assistant still does not start, reference the section 

titled “Manually Configuring Network Settings” (page 76 of this 

User Manual) for an alternate setup method�
