Installing and Using the ICM's

A Note about the ICMs

The interactive computer modules (ICMs) were written for a Windows environment; therefore, you will need to have a PC to use them. Our apologies to Mac owners who either don't have PC-cards installed, or whose PC-emulator software is slow or unstable. The ICMs may be converted to a more platform-independent format in the future, but for now, PCs or PC-emulators are the only options.

Installation Procedure

The Interactive Computer Modules have been included on the CD-ROM as self-extracting executable files. They are located in folders in the html\icms\ps and html\icms\ts directories.

install

To begin the installation do the following:

  1. Explorer users can click here to open the folder with the executable install files. Netscape users must open "My Computer," double click on the CD-ROM Drive followed by the "html," "icms," and then the "ps" folder (the complete path is D:\html\icm\ps). The window should display 6 executable files.

  2. Double-click on the ICM you want to install to run this self-extracting installation program. The installation program should pop up.

  3. Click Next and follow the on screen instructions. Please read the License Agreement, check marking the "I accept the terms of the License Agreement" and click Next to continue. Choose the components you wish to install (by default all are selected) and click Next. The next window is choosing the installation location (DO NOT change the default Destination folder C:\Program Files\ICM\ICM name\ otherwise the modules may not run properly), click on Install. Once installed click Next and finally click on Finish.
  4. Once the installation program has closed the ICM has been installed and is ready to run.

Running the ICMs

Once the Windows-based ICMs have been installed on your computer, you are ready to use the ICM. To start an ICM, click "Start" and select "Programs." Go to the "ICM" folder and then the folder of the ICM you wish to open. Then select the file with the same icon as in the picture below.

Alternately, shortcuts may have been placed on the desktop during installation to each of the ICMs. If your computer has shortcuts with the same icon as the file shown below, simply double click on the shortcut.

A new window will open and the first page of the ICM will load. Select "Continue" to begin the interactive portion of the module.
