3. If AutoRun is not enabled, locate the file called Iseopen.pdf on the CD and double-click on it. The ISE will begin launching, opening Acrobat Reader from the CD.

Note: If you have more than 8 MB of free memory, it is recommended that you install Acrobat Reader to your hard drive so you can run the ISE more efficiently. To install, close Acrobat Reader and follow the Windows instructions below.

3. Select START > RUN from the Windows task menu.

4. Type X:\installs\win\ar405eng.exe in the dialog box. (X equals the drive letter for the CD-ROM.)

5. Then click OK

ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS:

Issue: How do I copy/export text for editing in a word processor?

Solution: To select text and copy it to another application, choose either the text selection tool or the column selection tool and highlight the text you want to copy. Select Edit > Copy, switch to a word processing application, and paste. The text will be available for editing and formatting.

Issue: How do I copy graphics?

Solution: Choose the graphics selection tool. The cursor will change to the cross-hair icon. Drag a rectangle around a graphic to select it. (To deselect the graphic and start over, click anywhere outside the selected graphic.) The graphic can then be copied and pasted into an application.

Issue: FIND versus SEARCH

Solution:

· FIND allows the user to search the file currently viewed for a key word.

· SEARCH allows the user to search the entire ISE.

Issue: Are there audio files on the ISE?

Solution: There are no audio files on the ISE. Refer to the Guided Reading Audio Program.

Issue: I click a web link and get the error “A web browser has not been specified. Do you want to configure weblink preferences?”

Solution: This occurs when using Acrobat 4.0. If possible you want to update to Acrobat 5.0 or 6.0. If not, open Acrobat first before launching the program to eliminate this error.

Issue: What can I print?

Solution: Pages from the textbook can not be printed. Extras that are added, such as workbook or practice pages, can be printed.

MAC:

Issue: When using an ISE on a Mac, the Adobe Toolbar is not appearing.

Solution:

Pressing the F7 key will hide and unhide the Adobe Toolbar for Classic 9.2 only.

In OSX, pressing F7 will hide/unhide the main tool bar on the desktop

Windows

Issue: Accelerating System Performance on Windows

Solution: Unlike Macintosh systems where the user can adjust memory allocated to a specific application, the following adjustments may assist in improving overall performance on the PC:

1. Click the Windows START button.

2. Select SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL.

3. Choose SYSTEM from the window options.

4. Click the PERFORMANCE tab.

5. Select FILE SYSTEM on the lower-left.

6. Under the “HARD DISK” tab, change the typical role of this computer from Desktop to Network Server.

7. Select the second tab, CD-ROM, and under SETTINGS increase the SUPPLEMENTAL CACHE SIZE to Large.

8. Choose QUAD-SPEED OR BETTER (if applicable to hardware) from the Optimize access pattern for… list.

9. Click OK.

10. Click the GRAPHICS button and move slider to far right for accelerating graphic hardware.

11. Click OK.

12. Select the VIRUTAL MEMORY button.

13. You can override these default settings and increase the virtual memory as necessary.

NOTE: This change can seriously affect OS performance and is highly recommended for advanced users or IT administrators.

14. Click OK and reboot Windows to have the new settings applied.

Issue: Accelerating System Performance on MAC

Solution: This step is optional but may increase the speed of the ISE and decrease out-of-memory errors experienced on certain computers:

1. Make sure the Finder is active. Then click Apple Menu in the upper left-hand area of the screen and select About this Computer.

2. Note the amount indicated for Largest Unused Block.

3. Then locate and click once on the icon for Acrobat Reader on your hard drive.

4. Select File…Get Info > Memory (OS8.6 and higher) or File…Get Info (OS8.5 and lower) in the menu.

5. For OS8.6 and higher only - In the Information dialog box, click on the pull down SHOW menu and select Memory.

6. In the Preferred Memory field, enter an amount that is approximately ten percent less than the available memory noted in step #2. If you plan on running other programs while Acrobat Reader is open, decrease the amount to accommodate the other programs’ memory allocations. Enter this amount in the Preferred Size box. Keep in mind that to run other programs concurrently with Acrobat Reader, you may have to open them first.

Issue: Does this product work on Windows 2000/XP, Windows ME, OSX?

Solution: This product was tested on Windows 2000/XP and Windows ME without a problem.

For OSX this program will run if Acrobat Reader 6.0 is used. It will run in Classic mode with any earlier version of Acrobat. In OSX with Acrobat 6.0 installed, open iseopen.pdf by double-clicking on the file from the CD. Customer may need to open Acrobat 6.0 first if multiple Acrobat versions are installed on the computer.
