SUMMARY

MORE INFORMATION

The procedure offers improved performance, but requires a large amount of free hard drive space.

Program              Required Drive Space
-------              --------------------

Bookshelf 1995       570 MB
Encarta 1995         645 MB

NOTE: You should only use this procedure on computers with large-capacity hard drives in situations where fast performance is critical.

Installing The Compact Disc

To install the entire compact disk to your hard drive, do the following:

Open the compact disc and double-click the Installer or Setup icon. This places the program and system files onto your hard drive.

When the installation completes, locate the Data folder on the compact disc and copy the following data folders to your hard drive.

   Product           Data Folders
   --------          ------------

   Bookshelf 1995    Books
   Encarta 1995      Encarta Files

Drag these folders directly to your hard drive. The copy process takes some time. These folders must remain directly on the hard drive; they cannot be placed within other folders.
Rename your hard drive. Name the hard drive using the exact same name as the program compact disc.

The multimedia program now runs on your computer without requiring the compact disc.
