Installing the Wave/PC
™
application software
The installation CD will install the Wave/PC application software and several music samples
on your computer’s hard drive. If you have any trouble with the installation, see “Installation
troubleshooting” on page 58.
Note:
Before you install the software:
• Make sure the Wave/PC system hardware is correctly set up before installing the appli-
cation software (see “Installing the Wave/PC
™
system hardware” on page 7).
• Make sure your computer has at least 32 MB RAM and 200 MB of free hard drive
space.
• Exit all Windows programs and turn off virus detection and screen-saver software. This
frees up memory and prevents possible conflicts between the installation and other
programs.
• If you are using a portable computer, or any computer with a dial-type volume control,
set the volume control to maximum.
