Adding and Removing Software
Software can be installed from a CD, a diskette, or downloaded
from a Web site. Many software CDs automatically begin the
installation process when placed in the CD drive. If you have
software that does not automatically begin the installation
process, you can install the software by using the Microsoft
Windows Add/Remove Programs utility.
Installing Software from a CD or Diskette
To install software from a diskette
or from a CD that does not
automatically install, complete
the following steps:
1. Close all programs.
2. From the Windows taskbar, click the Start button,
point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
3. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs
»
icon.
The Add/Remove Program Properties window is
displayed.
4. Click Install.
5. Insert the CD or diskette into the proper drive and click Next.
Microsoft Windows finds the CD or diskette and begins the
installation process.
