To Run ERI's Platform Library® from the Latest DVD

1.	Check the date printed on the front of the DVD to make sure that it is for the most recent quarter.

2.	Place the DVD in the DVD drive on your computer, and shut the drive door.

3.	Most computers will automatically run the DVD. Approximately five seconds after you close the drive door the DVD drive light should start to blink and you should hear it running. After another five to ten seconds, you should see the Platform Library beginning to load on your computer screen.

If after 30 seconds the DVD does not automatically run, try to run the DVD using the following procedure:

1.	Click the Windows Start button.

2.	Click Run.

3.	Type d:\eri.exe (assuming that D:\ is your DVD drive -- type a different drive letter if necessary).

4.	Click the OK button.

If the DVD still doesn't run, please contact your organization's internal technical support department. Something may be wrong with your DVD drive or the device drivers.

To Run ERI's Platform Library from the Installed Files

If ERI's Platform Library is installed on one of your drives (see Install ERI's Platform Library from DVD), you should have a folder named ERI with the file eri.exe in that folder. If you accepted the default directories during installation, the path should be C:\eri\eri.exe. You have several options for running the installed Platform Library:

•	Use the Windows Desktop Icon automatically created for you.

•	Use the shortcut created on your Programs List. Click Start \| Programs \| Economic Research Institute \| ERI's Platform Library.

•	Run the executable file. In Windows Explorer, double-click eri.exe.

Network users: Please note that the first two options listed may not be available if the Platform Library was installed to a network drive, or if the DVD is stored in a network DVD tower. It is recommended that you make your own Windows Desktop shortcut to eri.exe. See Windows Help for instructions.
