Windows CD-ROM installation

If you purchase Mind Reading as a multiple CD-ROM set, you will not be able to run the software from the CD-ROMs as with a CD-ROM. Instead the software and all application data must be copied in its entirety onto your hard disk requiring approx. 2.5 GB of space.

  1. Insert the Mind Reading disk into your CD-ROM drive and wait until it mounts properly.
     
  2. On your desktop, double-click My Computer. You should see the Mind Reading disk in the newly opened window.
     
  3. Double-click on the Mind Reading disk to display its contents.
     
  4. Double click on Setup.exe launch the installer. (NOTE: if you see two setup files but not the .exe suffix then you have extensions hidden on your computer. If you are looking at the files in list view and they are alphabetical then it will be the FIRST "Setup" that you can see on the Mind Reading disk.
     
  5. First you will see a Welcome: click Next to continue
     
  6. Select Destination Folder: choose where you want to install Mind Reading on your hard disk. The default will be the Program Files folder on your C:drive, but you may wish to install elsewhere, in which case choose Browse to select a different drive and/or folder. Keep an eye on the Disk Space Remaining figure. If it is negative you do not have enough space to install the options you have selected. You may need to select a different drive with more space or clear some space on your hard disk. The Mind Reading DVD needs a minimum of 350MB of free space on your drive.
     
  7. Select Components: the only option available will be Mind Reading Full Install requiring 2.5GB disk space.
     
  8. Ready to Install: click Next to start the installation process. The necessary files will be copied to your hard disk.
     
    After files are copied from CD-ROM 1, you will be prompted to insert each of the remaining CD-ROMs in turn, followed by CD-ROM 1 again.
     
    NOTE: This process could take 10-20 minutes.
     
  9. QuickTime: if you chose to install QuickTime, the Apple QuickTime installer will now be launched and will prompt you step-by-step through the install procedure.
     
  10. View Readme: the Readme file contains useful information about Mind Reading that may not have made it into the printed or online documentation. It is recommended that you glance through this in case there is anything of relevance to you.
     
  11. To run Mind Reading from the Start menu, make sure the CD-ROM is in the drive, and select Programs | Mind Reading | Mind Reading (It will appear in the menu after installation).
     
  12. The very first time you run Mind Reading you will be asked to enter your name and the serial number, provided with the disk. You will find the number on your registration card and on the cover of the User Guide. You can also choose either the International or British version of Mind Reading ( this affects spelling and regional accents). Please remember to complete and return your registration card.
     
  13. To run Mind Reading Manager, make sure you are not running the main Mind Reading application (choose Menu | Quit to exit). Select Start | Programs | Mind Reading | Mind Reading Manager (It will appear there after installation).
     
  14. In order to get the most out of Mind Reading please read the printed User Guide and consult the online documentation by choosing Start | Programs | Mind Reading | Mind Reading Help. You will need a browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to view this Help.
windows CD-ROM installation trouble-shooting

If it looks like you have installed the first CD-ROM but it is not asking you for CD-ROM 2 or gives you a message saying "Please make sure the DVD is in the drive" then it is likely you have double clicked the wrong Setup file. Make sure you can see two files called Setup on the CD-ROM and double click the setup.exe file. If you cannot see ".exe" then you should unhide file extensions on your PC. Alternatively, in the window displaying the CD's contents, go to View and select List. Ensure you are looking at the items alphabetically, and the Setup.exe will be the first of the two Setup files.
