For Windows XP users, go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the Sylvan Med/Pharm speller or third party speller.

For Windows Vista, XP Professional or Windows 2000 users, log onto your PC as the system Administrator. Locate the old installation file, i.e. Sylspell23.exe.

Installation ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

If it does not, click the "Start" button on your taskbar, select "Run" and then click on the "Browse" button. Double click on your CD drive in the Files dialog and then double click on the Sylspell25.exe program file. For Windows XP Home, skip to #8.

IMPORTANT: The Spell Checker must be registered to continue to run after the initial "Demo" period of approximately 30 days. During this period, you will have to be logged into your computer as Administrator if you have Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista editions.

Set the check mark at "Run the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP." Continue with instructions below starting at (8).

To do this, start Word for Windows and click on the Tools item on the Menu Bar. Next select Options in the drop down menu, select Spelling. Under Speller Options, locate the option called Speller Type, which will give you a list of Spell Checkers that are installed. The Normal option in the list is the original Spell Checker that came with Word for Windows. Select Medical. The Speller Type option only appears when more than one Spell Checker is installed on your system. You may need to close Word and reopen Word to put the new speller in memory. You only need to do this when switching between spellers.

You will also need to select the options under Spelling that you wish to use. Sylvan does not set those options for you.

9) The Sylvan installation is now complete and you can switch back and forth between the installed Spell Checkers (should you ever want to) by just selecting the Speller Type of your choice. Sylvan Spell Checkers also include a Modern English Language Dictionary.

Installation Troubleshooting :::::::::::::::::

Generally, installation of the Spell Checker is trouble free. However, there are a couple of issues that can sometimes cause problems, mostly having to do with the security settings for your system. Sylvan respects your security measures and the installer takes no actions to alter them.

1) The installer must write some values to your system Registry to tell Word that the Speller is available for use. Be sure that you have full Administrator privileges on your system during installation.

2) Some system security software, when properly doing its job, can prevent the installer from writing the necessary Registry entries and even prevent the writing of needed system files. You may want to disable such software for the few minutes it takes to install the Spell Checker. If you are connecting to the Internet through a proxy server, be sure that the proxy firewall and content screening permit connection to the Sylvan server.

3) Product registration via the Internet can sometimes be block by Firewall software. If you are using a Firewall you will need to allow the "InstallShield Setup Engine" to have access to the net, for just a few moments, during both installation and uninstallation.

4) During installation you may receive an alert regarding a cookie. This is a session tracking cookie only and contains no personal nor tracking content and should be allowed.

5) The "Demo" mode of this software does not run properly except when you are logged into your system as Administrator if you run Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista.

6) Restricted Users on Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista editions may not find the Medical Speller type available in the Tools/Spelling options page. This can often be corrected by granting "Full Control" permissions to the Restricted User account for the following Registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling

Product Authorization Notes :::::::::::::::
