Installing application programs

You may want to buy and install additional application programs. See the

manuals you receive with your programs for instructions on installing and

using them.

In most cases, you’ll install an application program on your internal hard disk

from floppy disks that contain the program. The following illustration shows

how to insert a floppy disk in your computer’s floppy disk drive.

For instructions on how to eject floppy disks, see the “Disks” topic of

Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

To use your programs most effectively, follow these guidelines:

m Put only one copy of each program on your hard disk. Having more than

one copy can cause errors.

m Whenever you copy a program disk to your hard disk, be careful not to

copy a System Folder. Always check to see what you’ve copied, and drag

any extra System Folders to the Trash.

m If you have problems using a program, read the manuals you received with

the program.

m If a program malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If that

doesn’t help, find out from the software manufacturer whether your version

of the program is compatible with your computer model and the system

software you’re using.

To put a program into the Launcher, simply drag the program’s icon (or its

alias) into the Launcher window, or onto the Applications category button in

the Launcher.

Insert the floppy disk, metal

end first, into the floppy disk

drive of your computer.
