Installing BIOCHLOR onto your computer

• Insert the Bioremediation course CD into your CD (or DVD) drive

• The following window should be visible. NOTE: If an autoplay dialog pops up before this window is visible, select Cancel in the autoplay dialog.

• Select the "Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer" option and then click the OK button. NOTE: If the window shown above does not appear when you insert the CD, use the following procedure to view the files on the CD:

  • Open Windows Explorer via the Start button menu
  • Open your CD (or DVD) drive in Windows Explorer

• Double click on the BIOCHLOR installation program named biochlor22_97 (or biochlor22_97.exe)

• The InstallShield Wizard will then guide you through the setup process

• The BIOCHLOR spreadsheet file, named BIOCHLOR22_97.XLS, along with supporting files, is now installed in the C:\BIOCHLOR22 folder

• IMPORTANT NOTE:   If you wish to use BIOCHLOR's HELP buttons, loading from within Excel (as described below) is preferred to double-clicking the filename in Windows Explorer.  This will allow the Windows Help Engine to readily find the BIOCHLOR help file.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you wish to use BIOCHLOR's HELP buttons, loading from within Excel (as described above) is preferred to double-clicking the filename in Windows Explorer.  This will allow the Windows Help Engine to readily find the BIOCHLOR help file.

• For optimal viewing of the model, maximize your Excel window. If you have a CRT monitor, use its highest acceptable screen resolution.  Higher screen resolution allows more information to be shown on the screen, however, the information also gets smaller. 

• If you have maximized your Excel window (and increased your CRT monitor's screen resolution), and the BIOCHLOR model information still overflows your Excel window, your navigation options are:

  • Use your mouse wheel for vertical scrolling

  • Use your "arrow" keys for both vertical and horizontal scrolling

  • Enable the scroll bars for the BIOCHLOR spreadsheet (see below). 

---

To enable Excel scroll bars, do the following:

• With the BIOCHLOR spreadsheet model loaded into Excel, select the Tools menu from Excel's menu bar

• Select Options... 

               

• The Options window should now be visible

               

• Enable the horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars by clicking the appropriate check boxes in the Window options section

• Click OK
