Installing the Wave/PC™ application software

The installation CD will install the Wave/PC application software and several music samples on your computer’s hard drive. If you have any trouble with the installation, see “Installation troubleshooting” on page 58.

Note: Before you install the software:

•Make sure the Wave/PC system hardware is correctly set up before installing the appli- cation software (see “Installing the Wave/PC™ system hardware” on page 7).

•Make sure your computer has at least 32 MB RAM and 200 MB of free hard drive space.

•Exit all Windows programs and turn off virus detection and screen-saver software. This frees up memory and prevents possible conflicts between the installation and other programs.

•If you are using a portable computer, or any computer with a dial-type volume control, set the volume control to maximum.

1.Turn on your computer.

2.Insert the Wave/PC software CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the install pro- gram does not start automatically, go to the Start menu and select Run. In the Run win- dow, open d:\Setup.exe, where d is the letter of your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

3.Wait while the Wave/PC setup program prepares to install the software.

4.When the End User License Agreement appears, please read it. Then, select “I agree to the terms of this license agreement” and click Next.

Note: If you do not agree with the license agreement, the setup program will not proceed.

5.The “New Installation” dialog box appears with a description of the installation process. Click Next to continue.

6.In the “Directory Selection” dialog box, click Next to accept the default directory, or click Browse to select another directory, and then click Next.

7.In the “Bose® Music Collection” dialog box, select one of the options (to install the music files or not). Click Next to accept the default destination directory, or click Browse to select another directory, and then click Next.
