1.Close all programs.

2.From the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

3.Double-click the Add/Remove Programs ¤ icon.

The Add/Remove Program Properties window is displayed.

4.Click Install.

5.Insert the CD or diskette into the proper drive and click Next.
