--------------------------------------
Your Organic View installation procedure depends upon the way your computer is connected to the Internet.
a) If you are not going to connect to Internet or if you already do have a permanent Internet connection then Organic View configuration will rely upon a standard Netscape browser and its plugins to handle all Organic View media types.
b) Otherwise, if you have a dial-up Internet connection then Organic View configuration will include a specially tailored version of Mozilla browser that will operate irrespective of your Internet connections. Installer procedure will put a copy of such 'personalized' browser to your computer and equip it with all necessary plugins for your Organic View operation. This Organic View configuration precludes any problems that can arise from any dynamic network settings changes that take place each time when a dial-up Internet connection is established and/or closed on your Mac.
1. Insert the Organic View into a CD-ROM drive attached to your Macintosh. The disk window will open to show the program icons to be installed for running the Organic View program.
2. Double-click on the Organic View Installer icon to install the program. Follow the instructions appearing on your screen and choose (or create) the folder for the program's runner and some other internal resources required to provide its operation.
After the program has been installed, it checks whether all applications necessary for its operation (Netscape Communicator v4.7, Apple Java Machine MRJ 2.1.4, and Shockwave Player) are installed on your MAC. If not, it will warn you about those that have to be installed.
3. Double-click on the appropriate Install icon to install the required application(s) and follow the instructions that appear on your screen.

Troubleshooting
--------------------
HP Background Extension
-------------------------------
Edugen cannot be installed when the HP Background extension is enabled. This causes the following error message:
'Installation on the active startup disk "..." cannot take place while another application is running. Please quit HP Background and try again.'
The solution is to turn off the HP Background extension as follows (the extension cannot be turned off using Extensions manager):
1. Open your Extensions folder (located in the System folder on your Hard drive).
2. Move the HP Background extension onto your desktop. Make sure that the extension is moved, not copied.
3. Restart your computer. HP Background will be disabled.
4. Install Edugen.
5. Restart your computer.
6. Put the HP Background extension back into the Extensions folder.
7. Restart your computer again.
Slow performance
----------------------
AppleTalk must be active for correct operation of the Edugen application.
If AppleTalk is inactive on your system, please activate AppleTalk and choose Connect via "Remote Only".
Connection failure when working online
----------------------------------------------
Access to the Edugen server is interrupted if your dial-up connection drops in the middle of an online session. The following error message then appears:
"Netscape's network connection was refused by the server 127.0.0.1."
The solution is to quit the application and relaunch.
Installation of Netscape 6 causes the desktop information to become corrupted and so the Edugen application can't see any previous versions of Netscape. As Netscape 4.7 is required for correct functioning of Edugen, the application will not work in this situation. The solution is to rebuild the desktop. To do this, restart your computer while holding down the command and option keys. There is no need to uninstall Netscape 6.
The Edugen server requires particular TCP/IP settings to run. These are adjusted automatically by the Edugen program for all common TCP/IP configurations. However, the program may not be able to deal automatically with new or unusual TCP/IP options. In this case please consult the Troubleshooting folder on the CD-ROM for instructions on setting of the required Edugen configurations manually.
