Notes on Installation
=====================

- IF AT ANY TIME DURING INSTALLATION YOU SEE NO RESPONSE: Use 
the Alt-Tab feature to select other applications. One of them 
may be the Microsoft Digital Signature warning. It is possible 
for this warning to appear behind the installation screen.

- Make sure you have the latest Windows Service Packs from 
Microsoft (Windows 2000 - SP 4, Windows XP - SP 2 or higher). 

- InstallShield “IKernel Application Error” on Windows XP: When 
installing this software on Windows XP, you may be confronted 
with a “kernel error” at the very end of installation. This is 
an issue with the InstallShield program, which is what we use 
to install software on your computer. Please do not be alarmed 
by this, as the error is innocuous.
