Installing in Windows 95/98 and 2000/NT
Most installations of Windows will automatically run (“autorun”) the installation
program as soon as you insert the Plextor CD into a drive. If autorun doesn’t work,
you can use Windows Explorer to start the manual procedure.
To use autorun to install Plextor Manager 2000 in Windows 95, Windows 98,

1. You need to have a Plextor or any CD drive installed. Make sure the drive
operates correctly.
2. Insert the Plextor software CD into the drive. The CD should autorun, and you
soon see a Software Installation Program window.
3. In the installation program window, click on the Plextor Manager 2000 button to
launch the installation program.
4. Follow the installation program dialog. You can accept the defaults or customize
your installation, supplying your own information for directory names, locations,
etc.
5. You see an Associations window that prompts you whether or not to associate
various multimedia type files with Plextor Manager 2000. Click any or all check
boxes on to select which file types to associate with Plextor Manager. When you
associate a file with Plextor Manager, MVP 2000 becomes your default media
player for that file type. If you choose not to associate a file with Plextor
Manager, your previous player (such as Windows Media Player) will remain the
default one for playing that type of file.
6. When the dialog is complete, restart your computer to complete the installation.
