Installation process
The software for the QuickTake 150 digital camera is compressed onto four disks. The process of reading, decompressing, and installing the software can take a while on some Macintosh computers.
Warning about extensions
Some extensions interfere with the QuickTake Installer. To avoid problems, press and hold down the Shift key while you start up your Macintosh. This turns off the extensions temporarily. When QuickTake installation is complete and you restart your Macintosh, the extensions start up as usual.
System 7.5 and Virtual Memory
If your are using System 7.5 or greater with 8 MB of RAM on your Macintosh, it is recommended that you turn on your Virtual Memory from the Control Panel.
Installing on a hard disk that is not currently running your system
You can install this software onto any hard disk that has a System Folder. If the hard disk on which you install the QuickTake software is not the one that is running your system, you will have to select it as your startup disk before you can use your QuickTake camera. To do that, open the Startup Disk control panel and select the hard disk where you have installed the QuickTake software, then restart your computer.
Special Instructions for: Macintosh IIfx, Quadra 900, and Quadra 950 computers
To use your QuickTake camera with a Macintosh IIfx, a Macintosh Quadra 900, or a Macintosh Quadra 950, the computer's serial switch must be set to "Compatible" rather than "Faster." To set the serial switch, use the Serial Switch control panel.
If you have an old version of Now Utilities installed
If you have a version of Now Software's Now Utilities that is previous to version number 5.0, some of the extensions installed with the QuickTake software may not be loaded. After installing the QuickTake software, open the Now Utilities Startup Manager control panel and make sure that AppleScript and Macintosh Drag and Drop are selected. You may want to upgrade to the latest version of Now Utilities.
If You Use Custom Remove
Custom Remove is designed to delete software that is not needed and leave any software that might be needed by other applications. If you use Custom Remove, you may see a dialog box when your Macintosh starts up telling you that Foreign File Access was not loaded because there is no software that uses it. If you get this message, remove Foreign File Access by dragging its icon from the Extensions folder to the Trash.
