COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Using CD-ROM Software
The first time you use a software program that comes on a compact disc, it may
load a certain amount of program data onto the hard drive of your workstation.
This enables the program to run more efficiently and quickly in the future.
NOTE
: Some software compact discs take control of the hardware volume
controls. If this occurs, adjust the volume controls
before
starting the software.
Read the software manufacturer's instructions that accompany the compact disc
before you attempt to use it. Information to look for includes:
■
How much hard disk space will this program require? Do you have
enough disk space?
■
Will you activate the disc from Windows NT or from the system
prompt?
■
Have you connected any special devices this program requires, such as a
joystick?
■
Do you have the required information (such as serial number) available
to answer any questions during the setup program?
