Running New Application Software

Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the software. Faulty equipment is much less likely, especially if other software runs correctly.

Checklist

qDoes the system meet the minimum hardware requirements for the software? See the software documentation.

qIs the software an authorized copy? If not, get one; unauthorized copies often do not work.

qIf you are running the software from a diskette, is it a good copy?

qIf you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk, is the disk scratched or dirty?

qIf you are running the software from a hard disk drive, is the software correctly installed? Were all necessary procedures followed and files installed?

qAre the correct device drivers installed?

qIs the software correctly configured for the system?

qAre you using the software correctly?

If the problems persist, contact the software vendor’s customer service representative.
