- Troubleshooting
-
- We tried our best to compile programs that work on most computers with the
- minimum system requirements. Your computer, however, may differ, and some
- programs may not work properly for some reason.The two most likely problems
- are that you do not have enough memory (RAM) for the programs you want to use,
- or you have other programs running that are affecting installation or running
- of a program. If you get error messages like Not enough memory or Setup cannot
- continue, try one or more of these methods and then try using the software
- again:
-
- * Turn off any anti-virus software.
-
- * Close all running programs.
-
- * In Windows, close the CD-ROM interface and run demos or installations
- directly from Windows Explorer.
-
- * Have your local computer store add more RAM to your computer.
