System Administrator for permission to gain access
to all files in the MultiLab folder.
NOTE: When you plug in the supplied Web camera for the
first time Windows will automatically detect the new device
and open the Found New Hardware Wizard. Follow the
on-screen instructions. When asked, select the Install software
automatically option (there is no need to insert the installation
CD). Windows will automatically detect and install the necessary
software.
Windows Media Encoder Component
If MultiLab fails to open properly, it is probably because one of
MultiLab's components, Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, was
not successfully installed on your system during the normal
installation procedure. You must install it now.
To install Microsoft Windows Media Encoder:
1. Insert the CD labeled MultiLab into your CD-ROM drive.
2. If the installation program prompts to upgrade or reinstall
MultiLab, Click No or Cancel.
3. Navigate to My Computer, right click the Fourier Systems CD
icon to display a popup menu, and then click Explore.
4. Double click the Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 7.1
Distribution.exe icon to install this file.
5. After installation finishes, run MultiLab again.
