Help With Software Installation Problems

If you have problems installing the software, try these suggestions:

■ Carefully follow the instructions on the Start Here sheet and in this

booklet. Don’t connect PictureMate to the computer until you are
instructed to. Then connect the USB cable securely at both ends.

■ Close your other programs, including any screen savers and virus

protection software, and install the PictureMate software again.

■ If you’re installing the software for Windows, make sure Windows 98,

Me, 2000, or XP was preinstalled on your system. The USB Printer
Device Driver may not install correctly if you’ve upgraded from
Windows 95.

■ In Mac OS X, if you don’t see PictureMate Deluxe in the Format for

menu under Page Setup, you may need to set up PictureMate in the
Printer Setup Utility or Print Center. See page 13 for instructions.
