2.1.3 To Install LoopMaster for Windows 2000 Professional/Windows XP
Professonal
1. Set up the Base PC by connecting all peripheral hardware units to the base PC, including the
monitor, keyboard, mouse, and CD-ROM unit (if it is an external CD-ROM unit). Connect the
base PC and all peripheral units to a power source. See the instructions that are included with
the PC for setting up these components.
2. Verify or install the Windows operating system software. For installations performed after
October 2005, LoopMaster requires that the base PC is running Windows 2000 Professional
or Windows XP Profession SP2.
NOTE: Existing installations on a base PC running Windows NT 4.0 will continue to work.
Locate the button labeled START at the bottom left of the base PC monitor screen and click it.
Right-click on the My Computer menu item, then click on the View System Information
option. The version information for the system will be displayed on the General tab of the
resulting pop-up window (see
Figure 2-2 ).
Verify that either Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional SP2 is installed. If
the information on this window indicates that the operating system is Windows 95 or Windows
NT Server, then you must install Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional at
this time. If you need to install Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional,
follow the instructions included with the appropriate operating system.
