********************************************************************************************** ***** ***** ***** If you have problems, it may originate with associated software. ***** ***** First check that NaP3 runs stanadalone with your rig. ***** ***** ***** ***** USING BALANCE CONTROLS TO CANCEL IMAGES IS WRONG, ***** ***** RESULTING IN AN UNSTABLE SYSTEM. ***** ***** ***** ***** SOME Creative DRIVERS CAN CRASH 64 bit SYSTEMS ***** ***** UNLESS SYSTEM MEMORY IS SET TO 4096MB OR LESS. ***** ***** ***** ***** .NET 3.5 is needed in your system but MS updates should have put it there ***** ***** ***** ********************************************************************************************** For first time installations: 1. Unzip the setup file, run setup.msi and wait while a minute or so one-time cpu math check completes some calculations on your cpu to find out what its 'wisdom' is. 2. Once the check is complete you will never see it again and NaP3 startup will continue normally. 3. READ THE HELP FILE; if you find yourself stuck, ask other users in the www.panadapter.com forum - there is plenty of experience out there. ********************************************************************************************** For existing installations: 1. NB: installation overwrites previous versions but v2.2.4.2 and earlier versions have incompatible databases, so a new default database will be necessary, i.e. Reset Database. 2. Unzip the setup file and run setup.msi to install the new version. 3. The first run will merge your old database with a new one and your original settings should still be there. ********************************************************************************************** READ THE HELP FILE. Play with NaP3. If you do not understand something, READ THE HELP FILE again, then try posting a query or suggestion in the NaP3 forum at www.panadapter.com. ********************************************************************************************** Pete Connors, F5VNB April 2014
