To quickly get started using this utility, follow these steps:
1. Determine whether you need to run the ICU.
See “When to Run the ICU” found later in this chapter for detailed instructions.
2. Perform any required preparatory steps before starting the utility.
Preparatory steps include making a program diskette, copying your mouse driver
to this diskette, and making a backup copy of this diskette. See “Preparing to Use
the ICU” found later in this chapter for detailed instructions.
3. Start the system using your ICU diskette.
Verify that Boot Sequence in the System Setup program is set to Diskette First .
Then insert the backup copy of the ICU diskette into drive A, and turn on your
computer or press the reset button.
NOTE: The ICU takes a few minutes to load. During this time, the cursor may
appear as a pointer rather than as an hourglass.
When the utility has finished loading, the ICU window (see Figure 4-1) is
displayed.
