that may currently be using ODBC. Such applications include
spreadsheets, word processors, database programs, MS Query, and
similar applications.
2. Insert the Lookout CD into your CD drive.
3. The Lookout CD-ROM has autorun capability. If for some reason the
autorun fails to start the CD installation routine, click on the Start icon
in the taskbar and select Run.
4. Enter
N
:\SETUP where
N
represents your CD-ROM drive. Then select
OK.
Lookout installs an ODBC driver as a part of its database capability.
5. Follow the remaining instructions to complete the Lookout
installation.

Installing Lookout from Floppy Diskettes

If the computer you want to install Lookout on does not have a CD-ROM
drive, follow these instructions for installing the software:
1. Prepare about two dozen blank diskettes: 3.5-inch, 1.4MB. Label each
diskette as Disk1, Disk2, and so on.
2. On another computer with a CD-ROM drive and diskette drive, copy
the files in the individual DiskN subdirectories on the CD onto the
appropriately labeled 3.5-inch floppy diskette. Do not copy the DiskN
directory itself onto your floppies. Copy only the contents of each
directory.
3. On the computer where you want to install Lookout, insert the diskette
labeled Disk1 and run the setup.exe program from the diskette.
4. Follow the installation instructions on the screen.
