Sure. Click on the highlighted text on the download.htm page. When prompted select "Save to disk". Your browser will prompt you for a directory. Note the name of your file, and put it in a folder you can find again. Most browsers have a default "download" folder.
Once you have it, 'Start ... Programs ... Windows Explorer'. Find the file. It is called CQzzz.EXE or CQzzz.zip, where zzz stands for a date (say 425 for April 25th) or some letters, maybe NT for an NT/Windows 2000 version . Highlight it, and select 'Edit ... Copy'.
Next you should make a new folder. Codequick has many compressed files (mostly lessons), so you want them all together away from other stuff. On the left side of Windows Explorer select C: or whatever drive you want a new folder in. Go up to the menu and select 'File ... New ... Folder'. Click on the box and name the new folder, say, CQStart. Select 'Edit ... Paste' to paste CQ425.EXE (or whatever it is) into the folder you just created.
Okay, now highlight the name of your new folder in the left side of Windows Explorer, and note that CQ425.EXE appears on the right side. Double-click on CQ425.EXE. A number of files appear on the right side. Find setup.exe, double-click on it and follow the instructions. If you have trouble go here.
Once finished, select 'Start ... Programs ... CodeQuick Help' to read the Help file before you start Code Quick 2000. Then select 'Start ... Programs ... CodeQuick' to start on the path to Extra Class.NOTE: IF SETUP COMPLAINS THAT IT WAS "UNABLE TO WRITE" TO SOME LIBRARIES, A NAIVE DEVELOPER SET THE PROPERTIES OF IMPORTANT CONTROL LIBRARIES TO READ-ONLY. Write down the names setup is complaining about, e.g. COMDLG32.OCX , RICHTX32.OCX, or whatever. In Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) browse to your Windows System folder (usually C:\Windows\System). Find the files Setup is complaining about, right-click on their names, select Properties, and uncheck read-only. Then proceed with the following.
If Code Quick is installed you must UNINSTALL CODEQUICK: Start ... Settings ... Control Panel ... Add/Remove Programs, select CodeQuick and follow the directions.
If you are using the CDROM version, copy the CQ2000Setup folder to your hard drive. This will give you a folder c:\CQ2000Setup with all of the compressed setup files. Later you will have to reinstall (see below) from that directory because CDROM drives don't generally work in Safe Mode.
Then restart the computer and place your finger above the F8 key on our keyboard.
As the system restarts the SECOND black and white (DOS) screen says something like "Loading OS" and "Starting Windows". As soon as you see it hit F8. If you were quick enough you will see a new DOS menu. Select 3 (Safe Mode). When Windows is ready reinstall CodeQuick by double-clicking on Setup.exe in the CQ2000Setup folder.
Next, restart under normal windows. If the error still occurs, go here.If you hear it, try one of the Code Quick .wav files. For example, in the same C:\Windows\Media subfolder, double click on Amix14.wav. If you hear it, another program has disabled the control MCI32.ocx that Code Quick 2000 uses to play wave files. Call the manufacturers of your computer. They will ask you to select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Multimedia, Advanced and to open the "Media Control Devices". They should tell you to Right Click on "Wave Audio Device (Media Control) and select Properties. If it says "... disabled" they will tell you to select "Use this Device" IF IT DOESN'T CONFLICT WITH SOMETHING ELSE THEY HAVE DONE. Don't try to be your own engineer unless you have four years to spare in undergraduate school.
If your computer has lots of memory and lots of room on your hard drive (for Virtual Memory) read on.
Code Quick is a large, memory intensive, program. It has to be. It uses large ".wav" files to play sounds, large color pictures to remind you of the sound alikes when you are just learning them, and a picture font to flash the picture icons when you begin to go faster. Only standard Microsoft components and development tools are used.
Virtually all of users reporting these problems (to date, 17 of thousands of users) also reported that "it works fine on my other computer". Code Quick works on 486's with only 8 Meg of Memory if the system is correctly designed, and on thousands of large, fast, modern MMX computers too.
Occasionally, the memory problems can be cured by turning down the Video display accelleration just before using CodeQuick. Select Start ... Settings ... Control Panel ... select the "System" applet. Click the Performance tab at the top. At the bottom in the center select the "Graphics" button. Turn the Hardware Accelleration down to "None" and hit OK. When Code Quick isn't running undo this proceedure by turning it back to "Full".
If that doesn't help you should consult with the manufacturer of your computer for help, or move it to another machine.
Takes
When you load the Code Quick 2000 program, the learning lessons known as "TAKES" are automatically set up. To access these step by step lessons click on file, then open. The takes should appear. If "My Documents" appears in the "Look In" window, click on the arrow on the right side of the "Look In" window and then click on the C drive. This will open up your hard disk. Next, click on "Program Files." Program Files should appear in your "Look In" window and list all the programs you have loaded. Next, Click on "Code Quick" and the Takes will appear under Code Quick. Click them and you will see all the learning lessons listed. Click on the Take01.rtf file and begin your study by following the on screen information.Day Drills
These files are meant to coordinate with the 30 Day Mastery Plan Cassette program. If you have the tapes, you will need to load this program exactly like you loaded the Code Quick 2000 program. Once loaded, you can access them in order by clicking File/Open/Day Drills. If something else appears in the "Look In" window, click on the arrow on the right side of the "Look In" window and then click on the C drive. This will open up your hard disk. Next, click on "Program Files." Program Files should appear in your "Look In" window and list all the programs you have loaded. Next, Click on "Code Quick" and then Day Drills will appear under Code Quick. Click on Day Drills and you will see all the lessons listed. Click on the first Day Drill file and begin your study.To contact us call 760-773-9426 from 10 am to 7 pm EASTERN, 7 am to 4 pm PACIFIC time, or send an e-mail to :
