INSTALLATION

INSTALLING AND RUNNING THE OPTIMIZER
The pro basketball Optimizer program file and folder are named optimizerb to denote Basketball.

When you put the Optimizer CD in your computer's CD drive, the installation process should begin automatically. If installation does not begin within ten seconds or so, double click the "My Computer" icon on your Windows main screen, then double click the CD drive icon, then double click the setup file icon and follow the onscreen instructions. At one point in the installation, you will see the prompt,

"Click this button to install optimizerb software to a specified destination directory." (If you click this button, the program files will be installed by default in the directory "C:\Program Files\optimizerb".)

If you want to change this directory to the directory of your choice, click "change directory," then select a directory to install the program files, and then click the installation button.

When the Optimizer is installed, four files will appear in the destination directory: optimizerb, nbadata, nbasits, and ST6UNST. The file optimizerb is the pro basketball Optimizer program file. To run the Optimizer, click on the optimizerb icon in the destination directory or go to the lower left corner of your Windows screen, click Start, then Programs, then optimizerb.

To uninstall the Optimizer, go to the lower left corner of your Windows screen and click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Then click on optimizerb.

MONITOR SETTINGS
The Optimizer display will run on monitor settings of 800 x 600 pixels or larger. If you are having a problem seeing an entire program screen, modify your monitor settings as follows:

On your opening windows screen (with all the icons), go to "My Computer", then go to "Control Panel" then go to "Display" then go to "Settings". You should set your monitor screen area to either 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 pixels. From this screen go to advanced". Your font size should be "small fonts."

If you are unable to set your monitor screen area as above, you should upgrade your monitor driver as follows: From the advanced "font size" screen (see above), click on the "monitor" tab, then go to "properties" then go to "driver" then "update driver."

Note: depending on which version of Windows you have, some of these screens may be slightly different than what is described here.
