Installing on your own PC

1. Choose your installation type

On the first setup screen, choose "I'm installing POAD on my personal computer" and click Next:

2. Complete the registration form

Detailed help for registration is available here, but here are some quick tips:

• The name you enter here will be printed on your Progress Reports, which you will be giving to your instructor.
• The identification should be unique to you: your student ID, email address, etc. It will also be printed on the Progress Reports (so, for privacy reasons, we don't recommend using your Social Security number).
• The POAD serial number is printed on the sheet you received when you purchased Psychology on a Disk.
• We recommend that you do request email confirmation of your registration. You will need this information if you ever need to reinstall the program.

Note: if you have already registered, click the "I've already registered" link and enter the information from your initial registration.

3. Select a folder for installation

In most cases, the default folder as shown will be fine. If you'd prefer to store the program somewhere else, use the Browse button to select a different folder.

3. Specify a password (optional)

The record of the exercises you have completed is kept in your student data file. A password may help you protect your progress data from accidental changes by others. If you would like to use a password, specify it in this screen; otherwise, leave the two password fields empty.

4. Start installation

On the final screen, simply click Next to install Psychology on a Disk:

When installation is complete, you can start Psychology on a Disk by clicking its icon on the desktop. Here is more information about using Psychology on a Disk.
