ic24 Client Software v1.0b8 ________________________________________________________________________ Please read the installation instructions below, and the file IE5.TXT before attempting to install the software. If you are uncertain as to whether your system is likely to have issues on installation you are strongly advised not to install this software. W A R N I N G ! --------------- ic24 uses the very latest Microsoft browser software, version IE5. This means that if you have been using an earlier version of Internet Explorer it may no longer function correctly. Installation Instructions ------------------------- To run the ic24 installation software simply insert the CD and Windows 95, 98 or NT4 will automatically start it (if you have Autorun disabled for your CD drive, double-click on the CD drive icon in My Computer). The ic24 Internet Software can then be installed from the first welcome screen by clicking the Install button. Clicking Install will launch the Internet Explorer installer. You will be asked to accept the Microsoft Licence Agreement for Internet Explorer. You must accept the licence to continue. You will then be asked if you wish to install a typical set of components, or to customise your installation. Unless you are an expert we recommend you select to install the typical configuration. The installer will then install the browser software on your PC. When the installation is finished, the installer will restart your PC. When restart is complete, Windows will finish configuring your system to use the new software. This may include installing files and drivers for networking. You may need to provide your original Windows installer disk to allow the system to read the files it needs. The software will also detect and configure your modem. Ensure that it is connected and switched on. Once the networking is configured, you will be asked if you wish to complete your ic24 registration. If you select to register you will be connected to the ic24 registration server where you will be asked to provide some personal details and choose your email name and password. You will also be asked to provide a piece of security information such as your mother's maiden name which we may ask you should you forget your password. Once you have successfully completed registration, your browser and email software will be automatically configured for your new account and you will be disconnected from the registration server. You are now all set to start surfing and e-mailing. Double-click Internet Explorer or Outlook Express on your windows desktop to start!.
