You don't read manuals?
Are you one of those people whom never bother reading the operating instructions?
No problem! Experienced PC users will find no surprises in the installation procedure that sets up
Virtual CD. Not only that - the Help program starts automatically the first time you run the new
installation.
Just for you impatient types, we have developed the following 3-part 'Instant User's
Guide':
1. Install the software and restart your computer.
2. Insert a CD from which you wish to create a virtual image.
3. Double click on the Virtual CD icon on your Desktop. The Virtual CD Wizard takes over from there,
guiding you through the program from creation, to use of a virtual CD.
That's it!
Once you've finished, your new virtual CD can be used just like a real CD.
What is Virtual CD?
Virtual CD makes your CD-ROM applications faster, more portable, and more convenient to use. This
is because it stores CDs on hard disks, using highly efficient data compression techniques.
The first step is to create virtual CDs from your original CDs. These are stored on your hard disk in
container files, also called "images". Then you simply load a virtual CD in a virtual CD drive. You can
add virtual CDs to your collection at any time, or delete them whenever you like, for example if you
need to free up space on your hard disk.
Virtual CD...
• significantly speeds up your CD-based applications, because they now run from your hard disk
rather than from the much slower CD drive.
• saves you the trouble of hunting for your CDs and constantly inserting and removing them from
your computer.
• lets you use your CDs on computers that don't even have physical CD drives.
• lets you use multiple CDs simultaneously. This saves you having to buy an expensive CD changer.
• protects your valuable original CDs from getting lost or damaged.
• conserves precious battery power in your notebook or laptop, because you don't need to use the
energy-hogging CD drive.
• makes for a quieter workplace, because you rarely use the noisy CD-ROM drive.
