NOTE: If the installation does not begin, complete these steps to continue:
Click Start on the Windows® taskbar.

Click the Control Panel icon. The Control Panel window will open and the Pick a Category menu will appear. (If the menu does not appear, then it is likely that the Windows Classic View option is active. To change views, click Switch to Category View.)

Click the Add or Remove Programs icon. (This icon appears as CD-ROM in front of an open box.) The Add or Remove Programs window will open.

Click the Add New Programs icon located on the left side of the window.

Click the CD (or Floppy) button. A window will open entitled: "Install Program from the Floppy Disk or CD-ROM." The following prompt will also appear: "Insert the first installation disk or CD-ROM."

Insert the disk into the appropriate drive (if needed) and click Next. The Run Installation Program window will open. Windows® XP will automatically locate the correct installation file and disk drive. (The Browse button is used to select a different drive and/or file during the installation if desired.)

Click Finish to begin the installation.
NOTE: If the system is setup with multiple user accounts, a window may appear entitled: "Install Programs as Other User." Some programs require the user to have Administrative Privileges in order to run the installation. If assistance is needed to manipulate user-account settings, refer to the Windows® XP Help section, the system administrator or contact technical support for the particular computer. Successful installation of the program may not be possible without Administrator Privileges. Click OK to close this window.
