I. If you choose custom setup to install all files to your hard drive, you will be prompted to insert the second CD. On some computers the message may ask for "Disk 3." Just ignore the statement, insert the USA-East CD (disc 2) and click OK to continue the setup.

6.When the installation program is finished, the progress windows disappear. You can then start MapCreate by double-clicking the program icon in the MapCreate 6 program group.

NOTES:

• Use the Typical or Compact installation if you are not making maps

of the United States.

• The more map data that you install on the hard drive, the faster the program will run. It takes less time to read map data from the

hard drive than from the CD-ROM.

• Graphics programs such as MapCreate can run slow on some computers with older processors or small amounts of memory. Running multiple applications at the same time can also consume computer resources and slow down response time. If computer processing speed is a problem, consider temporarily switching to the Medium Map Detail setting. (To do this, see View Map Display Options in the online Command Reference section.) Go ahead and create a map border, then remember to switch back to the High Map Detail Setting before creating your custom map file.

•It takes a lot of RAM (Random Access Memory) to create custom map files. If your system is low on RAM, then make several small custom map files and copy them one by one to the MMC card. (Note that MMC cards can hold a maximum of 30 different files. The total amount of information cannot exceed the MMC size capacity, no matter what the number of files is. For example, an 8 MB MMC could hold approximately one 7.66 MB file, or 30 files, so long as the 30 files totaled 7.66 MB or less.)
