General Tips

• Make sure your computer meets the requirements of the program, game, or utility you are attempting to install.
• The manuals for the program or the readme file located in the same directory as the install commonly contain exact instructions on how to install a program.
• After installing or during the installation, a program may need to install other programs, files, or utilities before it is able to run. If this is the case, the program will commonly prompt you to install the program or you may need to run a separate install before the program can be fully used.
• When installing a program, utility, or game, it is always a good idea first to close or disable any other programs that are running.
• After installing a new program if it prompts you to reboot the computer, do it.
