About the First 5 Association Financial Management Guide CD-ROM

The CD-ROM has been developed using basic HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and is compatible with most browsers. The use of advanced features such as Java scripts or ActiveX components have been avoided to ensure broader comptability; however, frames are used for the menu header.

Please review this Help file for answers to any technical questions that you may have about the CD-ROM before contacting First 5 Association

How do I access the Financial Management Guide?

To Access the Financial Management Guide CD-ROM:

Place the CD-ROM in your computer's CD-ROM drive and the program will automatically start. If the Introduction page of the CD-ROM does not automatically open, follow these steps:
Start your Internet browser by choosing it from the start menu or by clicking on its icon.
From the menu of your browser, choose: File, Open and then select the file E:\default.htm (substitute your CD-ROM drive letter if other than E.)

CD-ROM Hard Drive Installation:

Provided that you have sufficient available hard drive space, you may copy the contents of the Financial Management Guide CD-ROM onto your computer's hard drive. This will speed access to the data somewhat and allow you to remove the CD-ROM from the drive but retain access to the information it contains. To copy the entire CD-ROM onto your computer's hard drive:

Create a new blank directory, and give it a name (we suggest "first5").
Copy the entire contents of the CD into the new directory (e.g., c:\first5\)
Open the file: c:\first5\default.htm substituting for C if your hard drive has a different letter and replacing "first5" with the name of the directory you create, if different.
Proceed to use the product as usual, but running it from your hard drive.

Do I need to be connected to the Internet to use this product?

Some samples, including the clicking on the First 5 Association on the main menu, consist only of web links and require a live connection to the Internet.
