FAQ
What do I do if the CD isn't responding or is responding very slowly?
In cases where the CD-ROM isn't responding, try restarting your computer to maximize your available memory resources.
How can I print the entire manual?
The entire, print-friendly version of the manual is provided as a pdf file.
How can I print just the section I need?
You can either print chapters from the CD-ROM (for instance, by opening the Bilingual Programs chapter and selecting File>Print) or you can select the pages you wish to print from the pdf version of the manual located here.
You can also highlight the text you are interested in printing and copy and paste the text from the CD-ROM into a notepad, wordpad, or word processing document, thereby creating a personalized document with exactly the information you need.
How can I search the manual?
If you open the pdf version of the manual in Acrobat Reader, you can do a text search by going to the Edit menu and selecting Find, then typing in the word(s) you're searching for and selecting the Find button. Also, there is a detailed, section-by-section Table of Contents here.
How can I listen to the theme songs?
Click on the link to the theme song on the CD-ROM.
How can I download the theme songs to my computer's hard drive?
- To copy the sound file, right-click over the link on the page and select "Save Target As."
- Specify a location on your computer. The file will save to the location you specify in an MP3 format.
- Play it with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player or any other MP3-compatible player.
Can I burn the theme song onto an audio-CD so that I can play it on a CD-player?
If your CD-player does not play MP3 files, complete steps 1 and 2 above and then:
- Convert the MP3 file into an AVI file or other file -- often the software used to burn CDs has this functionality. See your user's guide for the CD-burning software for instructions.
- Burn it onto a read-only CD. Read-write CDs cannot be read by normal CD players.
- You should then be able to play it on your CD-player.
