Working With MapCreate

Starting MapCreate

If you installed the Compact version of MapCreate, make sure the
DVD/CD-ROM for the area you intend to use is in the DVD/CD-ROM
drive. Otherwise, you can insert any MapCreate DVD. (Remember, even
if you installed the Full version, a disc must be in the drive each time you
start the program. This is one of MapCreate's copy protection features.)
NOTE:
• For earlier MapCreate owners: If you have an earlier version of
MapCreate installed on your computer and run the program from the
CD, be sure you have the correct version of the CD in your drive
when working with the two programs. Running MapCreate 6.3 with
the version 7 DVD or vice versa will generate an error message when
you try to build a map. The data discs are not compatible with each
version of the program. If you made full custom installations of both
programs to your hard drive, this error message will not appear be-
cause each version has its own unique directory on your hard drive.
You can start MapCreate by clicking the
your version of
MapCreate icon in the MapCreate program group.
Start MapCreate by clicking the Windows S
