2.5 Starting EASYCAL ™ (for the first time)
Under Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT and Windows XP, EASYCAL ™ is stored inside the programs
folder. Double-click the EASYCAL icon to start the software.
Note: It can de downloaded from www.adobe.com if it is not already available on your computer.
Note:
Up to now, only a few minor incompatibilities have been found for the application. Make sure that the user has
the administrator rights. However, if you encounter serious problems during installation or when running the
software, try to perform the installation again under minimum conditions. To do this, remove all memory managers
and other memory-resident programs from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Make sure that no
programs are launched on startup of MS Windows through the Autostart group or by entries in WIN.INI. Then
restart your PC and repeat the installation.
Important Note:
For retrieval of historic data from EASYCAL
™ , such data must be read into the “previous test record” from
the archives. Then, the database (EASYCAL.cal or EASYCAL.ca3) can be copied from e.g.,
c:\programs\EASYCAL (e.g. to CD or floppy disk).
If an earlier version of EASYCAL ™ is installed, the old databases can be saved in
Settings ⇒ Manage EASYCAL ™ data ⇒ Save EASYCAL ™ file as (e.g., EASYCAL.ca3).
After installation of EASYCAL ™ 4.0, historic data can be transferred from
