STOP. ALWAYS use this installation procedure when installing this software on a
new computer. This installation program uses parameters you supply (see step 2,
substep a) to create a custom start-up file on your hard disk directory. After
installation, the software will instruct you to run this start-up batch file
whenever you do software-based adjustments, so it can configure your computer
properly before it runs the adjustment program. Do not simply copy the software
files from one computer to another, since the start-up batch file you copy may not
match the computer you copy it to.
