Some copy-protected programs require the computer to run at low speed while accessing the program on a diskette. These programs also usually require you to leave a key disk-the diskette that contains the copy protection-in the diskette drive. If you use a copy-protected program often, you may want to set your processor speed to change automatically to low speed when accessing the diskette and return to high speed when it is finished.
Depending on the type of copy-protected program you have, you may or may not want to set the processor to automatic speed. Follow these guidelines:
Cl If you are using a copy-protected program that can run only on a diskette or that requires a key disk, try to load the program at high speed. If this works, you do not need to set the speed to change automatically. If you can’t load the program on high, set the speed to change automatically.
tl If you are using a copy-protected program that does not require a key disk but requires a special procedure to install it on a hard disk, set the speed to low while you are installing the program. Then set the speed to high while you load and run the program.
If this does not work, try installing and loading the program at low speed and then change to high speed to run it. Do not set the speed to change automatically.
There are three ways to change the processor speed:
tl Run the Setup program
Cl Enter a keyboard command
Cl Run the ESPEED program.
