Installing Lingvo on your local computer

To install Lingvo on your computer:

1. Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM-drive.
2. Click the Start button on the Taskbar and select Settings>Control Panel.
3. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.  
4. Select the Install/Uninstall tab and click the Install button. 
5. Follow the program's instructions.

Note:

1. When the program prompts you, insert the diskette with the "Installation diskette" label (supplied with the ABBYY Lingvo 8.0 distribution package) in the floppy drive and continue the installation.

2. The installation program will run automatically (if you have not disabled the CD autorun option). After step 1 you will see the installation dialog. Click ABBYY Lingvo 8.0 to install Lingvo.

3. Instead of performing steps 3-5 you can run the Setup.exe program from the ABBYY Lingvo CD-ROM.

In the Installation of additional features dialog you can decide whether you want to install the LingvoSound dictionary and whether you want ABBYY Lingvo to be integrated into Microsoft Word. In the same dialog you can decide how information about dictionary configuration will be stored in your system. You can either:

• use a personal configuration for each user of this computer (in this case the information about the attached dictionaries is saved for each user separately), or

• use a universal configuration for all users of this computer (in this case the same set of attached dictionaries is displayed for all users).

Note:

To be able to save personalized settings in Windows 95/ 98/ME, go to Control Panel>Passwords>User Profile and enable "User can customize their preferences and desktop settings. Windows switches to your personal settings whenever you log in".

You may need to obtain an Installation Code for the installation program to run successfully. An Installation Code is necessary if:

·        Your computer has no 3.5" floppy drive;

·        You are installing ABBYY Lingvo from non-original or corrupted media;

·        There are applications installed on your computer with which ABBYY Lingvo may work incorrectly.

An Installation Code is generated from your Product ID and serial number. You may obtain an Installation Code from ABBYY by filling out a special form on the web-site specified by the installation program, by sending the filled-out form to ABBYY by e-mail, or by calling the technical support team at +7 095 234 44 00.

If you get error messages when installing the program, please consult the Readme.txt file (you can find this file in the Readme folder on the Lingvo CD-ROM). The information and advice contained in this file will help you solve most problems you may encounter during the installation.

If you cannot obtain an Installation Code immediately, click Activate Later in the Installation Code dialog and continue with the installation. ABBYY Lingvo will be installed on your computer, but each time you start the program, it will ask you to enter your Installation Code. After several launches without an Installation Code Lingvo will cease to function.
