A. PC: There are several things you can tell by right-clicking on the My Computer icon on your desktop and choosing Properties. The resulting screen will show you what kind of computer you have, which version of Windows you are running, and how much RAM you have installed.

If you double-click on My Computer and then right-click on the drive you would like to install the software on and finally choose Properties, the resulting screen will tell you if you have enough hard drive space available.

Mac: There are several things you can tell by going to the Apple menu and choosing About this Computer. On the resulting screen, you will see the OS that you are running as well as how much memory you have installed. Other information is also available.

A. Windows users, simply hold down the shift key as you close the drive. Do not let up for about 30 seconds or wait until you hear your drive stop spinning.

Q. Can I install God Is Closer than You Think to my hard drive?

A. Yes, you can. Simply copy the contents of the CD-ROM to a preferred location on your hard drive. Make sure you have approximately 150 MB of available hard drive space and follow these steps. On Windows, go to My Computer and right-click on the CD-ROM drive and select Copy. Navigate to a location on your hard drive where you would like to copy these files. Right-click in that location and select Paste. On Macintosh, simply hold down the Option key and drag the CD-ROM icon to a location on your hard drive where you'd like these files installed and let up on the mouse button. The files will automatically begin to copy. Then, double-click on the God Is Closer application icon and the program will open.

A. To improve performance, minimize the number of programs and files you are running. Also, if it has been a while since you have restarted your computer, try that as well. Sometimes, on older computer systems, the speed of the CD-ROM drive can also impact how well the video plays. Copying the files to your hard drive improves the performance dramatically. To do this, follow the steps in the question above.

Q. Why can't I edit these slides?

A. If you do not have a full version of PowerPoint^® and are just using the viewer that was included on the CD-ROM, you cannot make any changes to the slides.

Q. I can't find an installers button or an exit button. Where are they?

A. The Installers button is located at the very bottom of the window. To make sure you can view the entire window of the application, click on the top of the window and move it up. If your monitor is set to 800 x 600 and the window is filling the screen, change your taskbar settings so they are not locked. Windows users do this by right-clicking on the task bar and select Properties. Check the "Auto-hide the taskbar" option and press okay. Your taskbar will then disappear until you move your mouse all the way to the bottom of the screen. The Installers buttons should now be viewable. Your last option is to simply change your screen resolution to larger than 800 x 600. Please see your computers help system for detailed instructions on changing your settings.

Q. How do I run the PowerPoint^® files that I saved to my hard drive?

A. Using the PowerPoint Presentations

The God Is Closer than You Think CD-ROM contains PowerPoint presentations in the Campaign Tools section of the program. They can be found with each of the sermons and saved to your hard drive by clicking Save Sermon PowerPoint.

In order to use the PowerPoint presentations, either the full version of PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer must be installed on your computer. If you do not have PowerPoint installed, please install the Viewer from this CD-ROM by following the instructions in the God Is Closer application.

If you own a copy of PowerPoint, simply open the file in PowerPoint. See the help system for information on how to run your version. If you do not own PowerPoint, included on this disk is the PowerPoint Viewer.
