Installation

Home | Search | Support | Contact | Download | Order



We recommend that you do the full or "Easy" install. This will convert and merge any previous preferences.

 

Files installed
on startup disk

Installation does not make any hidden changes to your disk or alter your system files in any way. It places two files on your startup disk: More About This Mac Pro in your Control Panels folder and More About Preferences in your Preferences folder. The More About This Mac Docs folder will also be copied to the disk selected for installation.

 

Detailed steps to
install More
About This Mac Pro

  1. Disable all extensions by restarting the computer while holding down the Shift key1.
  2. Insert the disk and double-click or open the More About This Mac Installer icon. (To find the installer, you might need to double-click or open the More About This Mac disk icon.)
  3. Click Install when you reach the main installer dialog box2.
  4. The Read Me First will be displayed at this time. Please take a moment to look over this document.
  5. When prompted, enter your name, organization, and Serial id3 (as provided on your receipt or registration card) and then click OK.
  6. Click Restart when the installation is complete.
  7. While the computer is restarting fill out the registration card and drop it in the mail. (Purchases direct from the publisher might provide automatic registration and thus not include a return card.)

If you have any difficulties in the installation or use of More About This Mac Pro, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Also look in More About This Mac Read Me, located in the More About This Mac Docs folder, for any addendum.

 

System
requirements

More About This Mac Pro works with any Macintosh computer running System 7 (including the latest MacOS 8).

The installation takes about 300 K bytes on the startup disk plus about 200 K bytes for the documentation.

 

Removing or
de-installing More
About This Mac Pro

There are two methods of removing More About This Mac Pro completely from a startup disk: by using the Installer program or by deleting the files by hand. (To stop More About This Mac Pro from being opened in place of the Finder’s About This Mac, see the section on Disabling More About This Mac Pro.) To use the Installer:

  1. Insert the More About This Mac disk and double-click or open the More About This Mac Installer icon.
  2. Click Customize when you reach the main installer dialog.
  3. Select the De-Install More About This Mac Pro item.
  4. Click the Install button.
  5. Click Restart when the de-installation has completed.

To de-install manually, go to your System folder and delete the More About This Mac Pro file from the Control Panels folder. Then, in the Preferences folder (also in the System Folder) delete the More About This Mac Preferences file. (Installing More About This Mac Pro makes no changes to your system other than adding these files.) Finally, restart the computer to remove More About This Mac Pro from your currently active system.

1. Some system extensions (such as virus protection) and file sharing can interfere with an installer's operation, so it is best to disable your extensions before installing new software.

2. Note, that for installation to proceed, no other applications may be running. The installer will ask any open applications to quit but some have difficulties quitting in response to an installer. If you have any problem in this respect, make sure there are no other programs running before opening the installer.

3. When entering your Serial ID, notice that all letters are printed in UPPER case. So, if you see an "I" it's an "eye," not an "ell." If you use a zero or one for the letters "oh" or "eye" the installer is kind enough to interpret them as the similar letters.
