Class Setup for Instructor and Student Computers

Note:	This course was developed using Windows XP. You can also use Windows Vista, but some activities may key somewhat differently.

1. Install Windows XP Professional on an empty partition.

   • Leave the Administrator password blank.
   • For all other installation parameters, use values that are appropriate for your environment (see your local network administrator if you need details).

2. On Windows XP Professional, disable the Welcome screen. (This step ensures that students will be able to log on as the Administrator user, regardless of what other user accounts exist on the computer.) Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click User Accounts. Click Change The Way Users Log On And Off. Uncheck Use Welcome Screen. Click Apply Options.

3. On Windows XP Professional, install Service Pack 2. Use the Service Pack installation defaults.

4. Perform a complete installation of Adobe Acrobat Χ Professional.

5. Perform a complete installation of Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2010.

6. Perform a complete installation of Microsoft Office Visio 2010.

7. You will also need to run additional software as described in the Course Requirements section. Perform a standard or full installation of the applications you use in addition to Adobe Acrobat Χ Professional.

8. This course will run best if Acrobat's preferences are set to their default values. To reset settings, you could uninstall Acrobat, then reinstall using the Adobe Acrobat installation CD-ROM.

9. On the course CD-ROM, open the 084_022 folder. Then, open the Data folder. Run the 084549dd.exe self-extracting file located within. This will install a folder named 084549 Data on your C drive. This folder contains all the data files that you will use to complete this course.

10. This course specifies the use of certain fonts. If these fonts are not installed, the documents the student works on will not display as intended. Make sure the fonts Arial, Impact, RaspoutineClassic_TB, RaspoutineDemiBold_TB, and RaspoutineMedium_TB are installed on the computer.

11. You need to install two PostScript Printer Description files and add two printers for the Printing lesson. The course data includes URL bookmark files that you can double-click to download the files from the manufacturer’s websites. Double-click the AGFA PPDs URL file and the Tektronix PPDs URL file to download sets of PPD files for each company. If either of these URLs doesn’t work, double-click the Adobe PPDs for Win.url file to access Adobe’s download page for both printer drivers and PPDs. Once the files are downloaded, run the Agfa.exe and Tek.exe installer files, then use the Add Printer Wizard to add AGFA AccuSet 1500 and Tektronix Phaser 480X printers (uncheck the Automatically Detect And Install My Plug And Play Printer check box, and select the printer software manually).

12. This course will run most smoothly if your monitor resolution is set to at least 1024 x 768 pixels per inch.

13. In addition to the specific setup procedures needed for this class to run properly, you should also check the Element K Courseware product support website at http:// support.elementkcourseware.com for more information. Any updates about this course will be posted there.
