Starting the Avid Application (Windows)
The Avid application is in the following location:
drive:\Program Files\Avid\AvidáXpressáPro
drive:\Program Files\Avid\AvidáXpressáDV
For most users, the desktop is a more convenient location for starting the application. For information on creating a shortcut on the desktop, see the Microsoft documentation.
To start the Avid application:
  Select Start > All Programs > Avid > Avid XpressáPro or AvidáXpressáDV.
After a few moments, the Select Project dialog box opens.
  If you install your Avid editing application on a laptop computer, a dialog box might open with a message about incompatible power management schemes. Avid recommends you use the "Always On" power scheme when working with Avid applications. Other power schemes might adversely affect performance of editing functions (for example, capture and digital cuts). For information on changing power schemes, see the Windows documentation.
