First of all, a computer program is what is called in scientific language software as it is mentioned by www.computerhope.com. It is a general term used to means digitally stored data. different wibsites like www.thenetworkadministrator.com these data are what make possible a given work with computer. For instance to deal with texts, you will need a computer program called Microsoft office world. they also tell us that in order to install a computer program you will need to have a program core called a setup. This core is like a seed which will make the entire program work property.
The program core will operates compatibly depend on the operating system of the computer. The operating system is like the heart of the body. A computer without an operating system is like a body without heart. There exist different operating systems such as Microsoft Window XP, Microsoft Window Vista, Microsoft Window 2000, and Microsoft Dos…
Nowadays in Africa the most used of these operating systems are Microsoft Window XP and Microsoft Window Vista. We won’t forget to mention that an operating system will be used depends on computer duties; a computer which manages networks may need an operating system such as Linux.
Here, we will talk about installation of everyday life used computer program. Those programs are like the program to make simple job reports, writing letter, make calculation, presenting job to the public and so on. Once you have a computer program that you bought or downloaded, you will connect the memoire on which you have your program core. This memoire may be a CD, a DVD, a flash disk or something else which may work like memoire. After this you will have to open that memoire like you normally open any given computer folder. Actually, in computers with window XP operating system, you will open the memoire in my computer. (But in other operating systems like MC OS you can open the memoire on the computer desktop). Once you open the memoire you double click on the core, I mean the setup. The installation of such programs is quite the same. That’s why I will take an example of NERO. This is the audio and video reading program.
Some program setups are available with the key, which the name is itself explanatory. The key allow the installation to be done and well done. Once you double click on the setup the program begin coping afterword the program tells you that it is ready to install the program on your computer and ask you to confirm that you really need it to be installed. They do this because some virus may cause the program begin installing whereas you don’t need it. Here there three boxed on which you must choose one. The first one is written “back”, the second one is written “next” and the last one is written “cancel”. Because you need it to be installed you have to choose “next”.
At the next page you will be asked to ready license agreement carefully. In the license agreement you will find all information regarding the program, what it will do on your computer, some changes that it may cause. It is every explaining the way the software is made, and some other scientific terms for scientific users. You will even ready some advertizing of the software try to say that it is the best you will ever seen in all, as far as same function is concerned. In other to continue installing your software you will have to agree to the terms. To agree is no more but to tick on the box written that you accept the terms in the license agreement. Like I said before, here also there are the three boxes of installation, but before ticking the accepting box the next box is disabled to mean that you can’t click on it. It is after accepting the license agreement that you can click on next and join the following step.
The following step will focus on customer information. The customer is no other but the owner of the computer and the one who bought it; who is even installing the program. Some software or programs do not have this step to mean that it is skipped. But other like Nero 7 has it. You mention the user name, I mean your name, the name of the organization, and after you write down the serial key code. Like I said before, the key is available with the setup. You can even copy the key and paste it. After this you click on next and join the other step. At this step you have to choose the setup type; neither typical or costum. By default you will find the typical box ticked. If you want to let it be, you do next or if you want costum, you change and do next. At this step you have to choose only one in two, it is impossible to choose both. There is no big difference between these two types. On the following step you will be told that all needed information has been given, that you can now install your software.
Then you choose the install box, and then you wait that the program installation be done. Programs like NERO are associated to multiple other programs. At the following step, you will have to tick some of options you want, for instance you can tick photo CD image or not and click on next box. And the program tells you that it has finished the installation. And you click on finish. Afterward, the computer tells you that you have to restart the computer for the program to be completely. Here there are two boxes: yes or no. you choose yes and the computer will be restarted. You will realize that the program has been installed without spending lot of money for other to do it for you.
These information are not the real course, you cannot rely on it and begin installing software like a data processing specialist. This is for immediate resolution in case of urgent need. If you come across any misunderstanding you better take your computer to the informatics specialist.
