CD-ROM AutoRun Feature

With Window's AutoRun feature, the startup program on the CD-ROM should launch automatically when the CD is inserted into your CD-ROM drive. If for some reason the Start menu does not automatically open, then:

1. Click the Start button.
2. Click Run.
3. Enter x:\autorun.exe (where x is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive), then click OK.

System Requirements

Minimum System Requirements

• Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, or XP
• Pentium II 233 MHz
• 64 MB RAM minimum (128 MB RAM recommended for additional Internet options)
• 2X CD-ROM drive
• Color display with at least 800 x 600 resolution
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 to 6.0 with Service Pack 1
• Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.4 to 8.0
• Adobe Acrobat Reader v4 or later
• JavaScript enabled
• 56 Kbps or faster Internet connection for additional Internet options

Users must set their browsers to accept cookies and to support JavaScript, Java,
OCXs, and plug-ins. The browser should also be set to show the newest version
of a page, rather than showing cached pages. In Internet Explorer, this option is
in the Settings section of Internet Options.

Downloads

To obtain the latest versions of the required software, use the following links.

For Microsoft Internet Explorer, Java Support for Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Windows Media Player, go to:
   Microsoft.com or
   Microsoft Products Download Page

For Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to:
   Adobe.com or
   Acrobat Reader Download Page

Using Netscape Navigator

Netscape Navigator version 4.5 to 4.76 is supported for iPresenter. Currently, Netscape versions 6 and higher are not supported. Additional plug-ins might need to be installed. If a plug-in is required, the browser will direct you to take the appropriate action. For instance, to launch the presentation materials from Netscape Navigator, the appropriate plug-in for Windows Media player will need to be installed.

Note: There are known problems launching iPresenter with Netscape for MS Windows 95 and MS Windows NT. It is highly recommended that MS Internet Explorer be used.

Running from a Source Other Than the CD

If the need arises to access the course materials from a location other than the student's CD-ROM drive, such as a network drive or the user's hard disk drive, then the following must be done.

1. The entire contents of the CD should be copied to the source directory. This can be accomplished using a standard copy procedure, such as Windows Explorer or a command line. The path chosen to copy to does not matter as long as the directory structure of the CD is kept intact.
2. The user should use the index_offline.html to access the course materials without Internet access, or the index_online.html to access the Web-Enhanced features.
3. In order for the Web-Enhanced Mode to be able to LanLaunch* the presentation files and manuals from a location other than the CD-ROM drive, the Enable LanLaunch program must be run again from the initial menu found on the AutoRun application. This will reset the LanLaunch.ini file to point to the new source file location.

*LanLaunch

Please refer to the Getting Started guide for an explanation of the LanLaunch feature.
