Software Installation for Windows NT4.0

1Run the Quick Start utility. The Quick Start utility will start automatically, if you insert the Fire GL CD into your CD-ROM drive after the operating system has started. If your CD-ROM auto-run is not enabled and/or the Quick Start program does not start automatically:

Click the Start button in the task bar, click Run, and then select START.EXE from the root directory of the Fire GL CD.

2Click Start Installation.

Note

If your Windows NT 4.0 is not correctly updated with Service Pack 5, you are prompted if you want to install the drivers and Service Pack at this time – if the appropriate language version is available on the Fire GL CD.

If the Fire GL CD cannot install the Service Pack to your system, the driver installation stops. Obtain Windows NT Service Pack 5 (or higher) from Microsoft, update your Windows NT 4.0, and run the Quick Start utility again

3Click the button corresponding to the type of installation you want. If you select Custom, a list of software components will be displayed. Select the check boxes to specify the components you want to install.
