Installing Guard Dog
2
Most installation problems are a caused by having programs running while
you try to install new software. Even if the installation appears normal, you
won't be able to run the new program. To avoid installation problems, close all
open programs before you install Guard Dog, including programs that run in
the background, such as screen savers or virus checkers.
System requirements
To use Guard Dog you need:
• IBM PC or compatible computer running Windows 95 or Windows 98.
• 16 megabytes (MB) minimum of RAM.
• 20 MB free hard disk space to install Guard Dog and Oil Change.
Additional disk space is required to install any optional Internet software
that may be included on the compact disc (CD) version.
• 256-color video display or better. Guard Dog looks and operates best in a
resolution of 800x600 pixels (or greater) and a color palette of 32,000 color
mode (15 bit) or higher. 256-color palette is supported, but may cause some
color changes (caused by 'palette swapping') when switching between
applications.
• Microsoft mouse or compatible pointing device.
• Access to the Internet, either a dial-up account with an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) or a constant connection through a network.
• Sound card (not required, but you'll need this to hear the sound for the
Guard Dog video).
• Windows 95 Web browser (also called a 32-bit browser).
Some Help features—McAfee Software on the Web, Guard Dog on the
Web, FAQs, and Report a problem—require you to connect to the McAfee

documents and download files from the World Wide Web). To use all the
