How do I download and install a program?
Step 1 – Create a download directory
Start by establishing good habits. Organizing your download files will help. Let’s start by creating a new folder (directory) called C:\Downloads for your use.
Using Windows Explorer: highlight your C: drive, and then click on these menu items, one after the other: File | New |Folder. When a folder entitled New Folder is created, rename it Downloads.
Note: A word about distinguishing between Windows Explorer and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Windows Explorer is the system tool that helps you examine and access your entire computer; files; directories; drives; desktop, etc. In contrast, Microsoft Internet Explorer is the browser you can use to surf the Web.
Step 2 – Download a file using your browser
To begin downloading click on the Download link on the program’s main page. Here’s what to expect once you click that link. After you click the Download link a small window will open and ask you, “What would you like to do with this file? or something similar. Simply click on the Save to disk or Save choice, and then click OK. Make a note, mental or otherwise, of the name of the file. You will need to know this for Step 3.
When the familiar Save As window appears, use it to navigate to your newly created C:\Downloads folder and click Save. Watch and wait until the file has finished downloading.
Step 3 – Install your program
Now go back to Windows Explorer and click on the download directory you created in Step 1. You will see the file you just downloaded listed in the right-hand side of the window. Double-click on the file to begin the installation. Just follow the prompts that come up during installation. Once it’s installed, you’ll be prompted to click Finish.
Step 4 – Run your program
To start using the program you have just installed, click on the Start menu at the bottom left of your Windows desktop. Expand the Programs menu option and click on the icon for the program.
What is Demo Mode?
You can download, install and try any of our programs before you buy. We suggest that you do to be sure the program is what you are looking for.
All of our programs are installed in Demo Mode. Until licensed the words DEMO MODE will be superimposed over the printed title strips and title cards.
To get out of the Demo Mode you need to enter your license code. If you purchased the program on CD the license code is on the back of the CD sleeve. If you downloaded the program the license code was sent to you via email.
There is no difference between the Demo Mode and the Licensed program except for the above mentioned printing limitation. If you install the program before getting a license code you will not need to download it and install it again.
How do I enter my license code?
To enter your license code:
- On the initial screen click on the Help menu.
- Select the Enter License Code option in the menu.
- The license code entry window will open – enter your license code and click OK.
How do I upgrade or reinstall JukeBox
If you have JukeBox version 4.5 or earlier or Vinyl Lite and want to upgrade to JukeBox 5:
Download the current installation file
I reinstalled and can’t enter my license code.
When you enter your license code for the first time it is saved on your computer. Even if you reinstall the program the license code information remains on your computer.
The title of the main program will show the status of the program – either Licensed or Demo Mode. If the status is Licensed then there is no need to enter the license code again.
If you have downloaded and installed a newer version of the program then use our Contact Form to request a new license code. Be sure to include your name and old license code in the request.
Can I install a program on more than one PC?
The license code that comes with your program allows the installation of the program on one PC only.
Installing the program on more than one PC violates our Purchase Policy and United States and international copyright laws.
Difference between CD and download.
The program is the same whether it is downloaded or received on a CD. There are certain advantages to both methods.
Download advantages:- It costs less – $5.00 plus shipping.
- If a free upgrade comes out you will need to download the new version anyway making your CD version obsolete.
- If you download, save the installation file in case you need to reinstall the program. We suggest you copy the install file to a CD, if possible.
- If you need to reinstall you won’t need to download the install program again.
- If your hard drive fails you can reinstall without downloading.
How to resolve JukeBox Access Violation errors.
Access violation errors are most likely the result of a corrupt index or data file. Modified versions released on 12/20/2005 resolved this rare problem.
If you have an older version of JukeBox 5 go to the JukeBox page to download and reinstall the program. Reinstalling the program will not result in the loss of any data.
If you install the newest version you may need to get a new license code. Use our Contact Form to request a new license code. Be sure to include your old license code in the email.
Printing on plain paper vs. preprinted, perforated sheets?
All of our programs allow you to print title strips and cards on plain paper stock or perforated sheets.
Plain paper stock considerations:
Advantages- Easier alignment on the paper.
- Use any background image for the strips. JukeBox only
- Costs less.
- Need to cut out the strips and cards by hand.
- Use more ink printing the title strip background. JukeBox only
Perforated sheet considerations:
Advantages- Easier separation of the strips and cards.
- Use less ink when printing. JukeBox only
- Initial alignment may be more complicated than plain paper.
- Cost more.
- Limited to the background image printed on the strip. JukeBox only
Both methods produce great looking title strips and cards for your jukebox.
Where can I get preprinted title strips for my 45 RPM juke box?
While JukeBox will print on plain paper, many users prefer to print on perforated sheets that have the background image already on the title strip. We do not sell these preprinted sheets.
We suggest contacting Always Jukin’ magazine. They sell perforated sheets with or without the background image.
Is your software compatible with Vista?
Yes, both JukeBox 5 and JukeCD 5 run on Vista operating systems.
If you have any concerns about Vista and our software we suggest you download and install the program. Use the program in Demo Mode over a period of a few days to verify the program will run on your Vista-based PC.
