Computer Software
For whatever reason you might need to reinstall GigMaster (hard drive crash, buying a new computer, operating system problem, etc.) you main concern will be preserving your data. For this reason, we can't emhasize strongly enough the importance of REGULAR BACKUP OF YOUR FILES! When you go to reinstall GigMaster, you will depend on a saved copy (somewhere other than on your hard drive) of your GigMaster files. (NOTE: the files which actually contain your data are: GigBook., data., People., Mailing., letters., Ref., Calnotes., SongBook., and Setmaker.. If you are selectively limiting your backup, be sure to include these files.) on Windows Run the GigMaster installer exe file. (On the CD-ROM, "GM5_set.exe." The downloaded version, "G45d_set.exe.") This will install the GigMaster folder (containing all the GigMaster files) onto the hard drive in the program files folder of your computer. It will also create a shortcut for GigMaster in your start menu, and place various support files in your system folder. The GigMaster files themeselves will contain only the original sample data, none of your own data, and they will be locked. Just like when you first installed the program. So you need to replace these files with your saved copies of the same files, which contain your own data and which are unlocked. Insert the removable media that contains your saved files. If you have backed up the entire GigMaster folder intact (on a single zip or CD), then drag the saved GigMaster folder onto your hard drive (C drive) into the program files folder, opting to REPLACE (write over) the GigMaster folder already present. If you have backed up the GigMaster files separately, then drag your saved GigMaster files into the GigMaster folder on your hard drive (C drive) in the program files folder, opting to REPLACE (write over) each of the files with the same names already present. (Again, the files which actually contain your data are: GigBook., data., People., Mailing., letters., Ref., Calnotes., SongBook., and Setmaker.). on Macintosh If you have backed up the entire GigMaster 5.0 folder intact (on a single zip or CD), then drag the saved GigMaster 5.0 folder onto your hard drive. That's all there is to it. If you have backed up the GigMaster files separately, then first follow the original intall procedure: (If from the CD-ROM, drag the GigMaster 5.0 folder onto your hard drive. If from the downloaded installer, double click on the "GigMaster 5.0.sit" file.) Once installed, drag your saved GigMaster files into the GigMaster 5.0 folder on your hard drive, opting to REPLACE (write over) each of the files with the same names already present. (The files which actually contain your data are: GigBook, data, People, Mailing, letters, Ref., Calnotes, SongBook., and Setmaker. |
