Reinstalling programs
If you have problems running a program or if you have reinstalled your
operating system, you can reinstall programs from the red Gateway CD and
other program CDs. If you are reinstalling programs from other program CDs,
follow the installation instructions on each CD. If you want to reinstall a
program, uninstall the old version first.
To reinstall programs from the red Gateway CD:
1 If you just reinstalled Windows, go to Step 4. Otherwise, go to the next
step.
2 In Windows XP, click Start, Control Panel, then click
Add or Remove Programs.

In Windows 2000, click
Start, Settings, Control Panel, then double-click the
Add or Remove Programs icon.
3 In the Currently Installed Programs list, click the program you want to
uninstall, then click
Change/Remove and follow the on-screen instructions.
4 Insert the red Gateway CD into the CD, DVD, or recordable drive. If the
program starts automatically, go to Step 8.

If the program does not start automatically, go to Step 5.
5 Click Start, then click Run. The Run dialog box opens.
6 In the Open text box, type d:\runmenu.exe (where d is the drive letter of
your CD, DVD, or recordable drive).
