INSTALLING SecurDesk!
------------------------------

Before you can begin using SecurDesk! you must run the SecurDesk! Setup program from Windows. In most cases you cannot simply copy the software onto your hard drive. The files on the CursorArts distribution disks are stored in a special compressed form to save space. The Setup program is the only way to insure that SecurDesk! is properly unpacked and installed. To install SecurDesk!, follow the steps below:

1.  Start Windows.

2.  If you received SecurDesk! in a self-extactor (.EXE), then
    run the .exe program to extract the files (or highlight the
    "Setup.exe" installation program, and click the "Run" icon),
    and go to Step 4.

3.  If you received SecurDesk! on diskette, place it into
    the floppy drive now. If you downloaded SecurDesk! in .ZIP
    archived format, use a utility such as FileWrangler,
    PKUNZIP or ZipWrangler (http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_zw.html)
    to uncompress the files to a working directory on your
    hard disk.

    Activate the Start button, File Manager or Explorer.

    Select "Run..." from the "Start" menu or File Manager.

    In the "Command Line" field enter the drive and location of the
    Setup program. e.g.:
      -  If you placed the SecurDesk! diskette into drive
         A:, type: A:\SETUP.EXE

      -  If you placed the SecurDesk! diskette into drive
         B:, type: B:\SETUP.EXE

4.  Follow the instructions on the screen.

5.  If you decide not to continue to use SecurDesk!, open the Windows
    Control Panel and click on the "Add/Remove Programs" icon, then
    select SecurDesk! from the list to remove it from your system.

CUSTOMER SERVICES & TECHNICAL SUPPORT
-------------------------------------

CursorArts Company provides its registered software customers with free technical support. We also provide limited technical support to persons evaluating our products during the 30 day trial period.

We do, however, strongly encourage people to purchase a full version of SecurDesk!. Software development and support is very expensive and we need your help if we are to continue to provide quality programs at affordable prices. If you haven't already, please take a few moments to register. This will assure you of eligibility for technical support, product update notification, special discounts, new product announcements, etc.

However, if you are experiencing problems, please contact our technical support department so that we can solve your problem BEFORE you purchase. Purchasing can solve many problems but it does not always endow the program with features and functions that do not exist.
