This disk allows you to install PowerTalk on your Power Macintosh computer. For more information about PowerTalk, please read the PowerTalk User’s Guide included with System 7 Pro.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing PowerTalk on a Macintosh computer with a Power Macintosh Upgrade Card, please see the special instructions at the end of this document.
IMPORTANT: Before you install PowerTalk software, turn off any automatic virus detection programs you have on your computer. After the installation is complete, you can turn the virus detection programs back on.
Installing PowerTalk on Power Macintosh computers
IMPORTANT: You must have System 7 Pro, which contains the PowerTalk, PowerTalk 2, and Tidbits disks, to use the PowerTalk Install Me First disk to install PowerTalk on your Power Macintosh. The installation software on your PowerTalk Install Me First disk will only work on
Power Macintosh computers or Macintosh computers with a Power Macintosh Upgrade Card installed.
To install your PowerTalk software, you need four disks:
• PowerTalk Install Me First (the disk that contains this document)
• PowerTalk
• PowerTalk 2
• Tidbits
The PowerTalk, PowerTalk 2, and Tidbits disks are included in your System 7 Pro package.
To install PowerTalk software, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Finder desktop.
If your computer is off, turn it on. If it’s already on, quit any programs that are running.
2. Insert the PowerTalk Install Me First disk.
The disk’s icon appears on the desktop.
3. Open the disk by double-clicking its icon.
4. Open the Installer by double-clicking its icon.
The Easy Install dialogue box appears.
5. Click the Install button.
The Installer takes a few moments to calculate what needs to be done and then
begins to copy files. The whole process may take several minutes.
6. When the PowerTalk Install Me First disk is ejected, follow the instructions you see
on the screen.
You’ll have to swap disks a few times. Each time, the Installer ejects one disk and
asks you to insert another.
7. When you see a message reporting that the installation has been successfully
completed, follow the instructions on the screen.
If you turned off any automatic virus detection programs on your Power Macintosh,
turn them back on now.
