Classroom setup instructions
Before you teach this course, you will need to perform the following steps to set up each student computer.
1�� Install Windows 7 according to the software manufacturer�s instructions. If the student machines have Internet access, and they are behind a software or hardware firewall, install the latest critical updates.
���� Note: You can also use Windows Vista or Windows XP, but the screen shots in this course were taken in Windows 7, so students� screens might look somewhat different. Also, some of the following setup instructions might differ slightly.
2�� Install Adobe Illustrator CS5 according to the software manufacturer�s instructions. If you have the full version of Creative Suite 5, you need to install only Illustrator CS5 for this course.
a�� On the Installation Options screen, from the Install list, choose Selected Components.
b�� Clear all check boxes except the one for Adobe Illustrator CS5.
c�� Continue with the default installation. When asked whether to download updates, click Yes.
