Windows
95/98 Software Installation
Be very
cautious about installing our EagleConnect software on your Windows95 or
Windows98 computer! This particular package, called
"eagle95.exe" was designed mainly for Windows95 clients who
lacked an email program and only had Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2
or 3 installed on their computer.
If you install
"eagle95.exe" and proceed to setup Microsoft Internet Explorer
3.02 with Internet Mail and News over top of a newer version (you will get
many warnings NOT to do this anyway) you will destroy your Internet
settings quite efficiently and you will be in big trouble!
You will
most likely find that all you really need to do is configure your TCP/IP
settings and create a Dial-up Networking profile for eagle.ca. This
is especially true for all Windows98 users and later versions of Windows95
commonly referred to as Win95B. If this is you, then go here!
How to
install from Floppy Disk
You
should have seven disks, labeled "1 of 7", "2 of 7",
"3 of 7" and so on.
Place
"Disk 1" in your floppy disk drive. We are going to assume that
your A: drive is the 1.44M floppy drive on your computer. Your drive
designation may differ.
Click on
your Start button and then click on Run.
In the
dialog box which appears type A:\SETUP and
click on the OK button.
This
should start the installation program. If it doesn't be sure you have the
floppy disk in Drive A: and that you correctly entered the command A:\SETUP
-- remember that is the letter A, then a : (colon), then a \ (backslash),
followed by the word SETUP.
Now you
can skip to the next section.
How to
install from CD
Place
the eagleConnect CD into your CD-ROM Drive. We are going to assume that
your CD-Rom drive is drive D: on your computer. Your drive designation may
differ.
If you
have the "auto-run" feature enabled, Windows will automatically
start the EagleConnect program. If it doesn't start on its own, then click
on the Start button and click on Run.
In the
dialog box which appears, type D:\EAGLE95 and click on the OK button.
This
should start the installation program. If it doesn't be sure you have the
floppy disk in Drive D: with the label up, and that you correctly entered
the command D:\EAGLE95 -- remember that is
the letter D, then a : (colon), then a \ (backslash), followed by the word
EAGLE95.
Now you
can skip to the next section.
How to
install from the Web
In order
to do this, you would require a working Internet connection and a working
browser. If you do, then why are you re-installing the software again?
This may break your current setup and cause you lots of grief! Therefore,
I'm going to skip this section because it will only get existing clients
in big trouble! If you need to update specific programs please go to our Software @ eagle
web site.
During the installation you will be prompted for a
variety of information. You will need to provide:
-your first and last name
-your login id or username
And now, just follow the on-screen instructions. At
the end of the EagleConnect installation, we launch the install program
for Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3.02. Again, follow the on-screen
instructions.
Please remember that this only installs software on your
computer. You still need to configure your
TCP/IP settings and create a Dial-up Networking profile for eagle.ca. To do
this go here!
Please return to the EAGLE.CA - Customer Support Centre
for instructions on customizing your web browser preferences and
configuring your email software!
