8. Please be patient while the installation program copies the necessary
Symphony installation files from the Symphony CD.
9. Insert your Windows 95 or Windows 98 CD if prompted. If you do not
have a Windows CD, but you have Windows diskettes or the computer has
the Windows Cabinet files, direct Windows to look for the Windows files in
the Cabinet directory, which is typically located in
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS\.
Note:
If the installation wizard cannot locate a particular file, do NOT
skip the file. Instead, try to locate the file on the Windows CD,
within the Windows CAB directory, or within the C:\Windows\
and C:\Windows\System directories. In order for the Symphony
Adapter to install correctly, the installation wizard must find
and copy all of the files that it is looking for.
10. The computer will copy all of the Windows files required to complete
the installation of the Symphony Adapter. If the computer prompts you that
a file you are copying is older than the one currently on the system, keep the
existing file by clicking the <Yes> button.
11. The Symphony Installation program will report when the installation has
been successfully completed. Restart the computer when prompted.
12. Windows will make some final adjustments to the system. Leave the
Windows CD in the CD-ROM drive: Windows may need to copy additional
files from the CD. Restart the computer a second time if prompted.
13. After the computer restarts, you may be prompted to enter either a
Windows password or a network password before proceeding. If you have an
existing User name and Password, type in the Password and click <Enter>, or
simply click <Enter> if your Password is blank. This step will enable the
computer’s network functionality. Do NOT choose the <Cancel> option.
Also, write down your User name and Password for future use; you will need
to enter this information each time you logon to the cordless network.
Note:
You must enter a User name and Password to logon to the
network. If you choose <Cancel>, you will be unable to access
network resources.
