3.1.3 Installation and Setup
To install the OPERA™ Software Suite, follow the steps below, where "X:\"
represents the CD-ROM drive containing the OPERA™ setup CD. If you want to
update from a previous version, there is no need to uninstall the previous
version. The setup program will automatically do this for you
1. Attach the dongle to the parallel interface port of your computer.
2. Start the OPERA™ setup program ( X:\ OperaSetupVxxx.exe).
3. Install the required options if any are offered.
4. Reboot the computer.

Verification
If your installation is running too slow, please check if the system is running out
of memory. If this is the case, memory will be swapped out to the harddisk and
accessing this part of the memory is a million times slower than accessing real
memory. If the OPERA Software Suite requires too much memory, adjust the
size of OPERA's history buffer through a parameter in the registry. Please ask a
specialist for assistance, if unfamiliar with the registry and use of regedit.
Modifying the registry may seriously harm your Windows installation and even
prevent it from booting.
In order to adjust this parameter, open regedit and look for the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opticom\Opera\Memory\MemoryReserved
A good value for this key is 130 000 000 on a machine with 256MB RAM. The
parameter defines how much of the physical memory is left free by OPERA.
