Step 1: Create a Download Folder

Create a new folder (directory) called C:\Download for your use.

Using Windows Explorer: highlight your C: drive, and then click on these menu items, one after the other: File | New > Folder. When a folder entitled New Folder is created, rename it "Download".

Note: A word about distinguishing between the Windows Explorer and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The Windows Explorer is the system tool that helps you examine and access your entire computer; files; directories; drives; desktop, etc. In contrast, Microsoft Internet Explorer is the browser you can use to surf the Web.

Step 2: Download the File Using Your Browser

Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE), Netscape Communicator, Opera, and other browsers work in similar ways. After you click the Download Now button, a small window will open and ask you, "What would you like to do with this file?" or something similar. Simply click on the "Save it to disk" or "Save" choice, and then click OK.

When the familiar "Save As" window appears, use it to navigate to your newly created "C:\download" folder and click "Save."

Step 3: Prepare Your File for Installation

Before you can install Digital Photo Slide Show, it will be necessary to unzip (open up) the zip file in order to use the files stored within it. Although other utilities are available, we recommend WinZip or QuickZip for unzipping files.

Step 4: Use WinZip to Open Your File and Install the Software

Use Windows Explorer to double-click on the zip file you just downloaded and then click the Install button from within WinZip.

This will start the installation process. Answer the simple questions asked and finish the installation. Now click on the Slide Show icon placed on your desktop.
