Before
Installation: (Back to
installation instructions)
Before you install any software, it is critical
that your hard drive be in optimum working order.
It's recommend that you get in the habit of performing
regular 'house keeping' on your PC.
ScanDisk,
Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup are the tools
that you need to use to keep everything running
smoothly. Such good practice offers you the best
chance of running today's software with minimum
issues. As an added benefit, a clean system will
operate more efficiently, and other software applications
you use may run more quickly and more stable.
ScanDisk (Win98/ME)/Error-checking
(Win 2000/XP) detects and repairs disk errors
and bad sectors on your hard disk drive.
Disk Defragmenter ensures
that the data on your hard disk is organised properly.
This helps to prevent corrupt data and speeds
up the accessing of this data by your Computers
Central Processing Unit (CPU).
Disk Cleanup helps you to
clear unnecessary files from your system. This
frees up disk space and prevents conflicts that
could stop programs installing correctly.
Consult the Windows Help Guides
for information on running the ScanDisk/Error-checking,
Disk Defragmenter, and Disk Cleanup tools.

Windows Help:
1 - Click onto the Start button and select Help
