= SUMMARY =

Microsoft has released an updated disk image for Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, version 3.0a. This updated disk image corrects a problem that occurs when you install Works 3.0a on an Apple Macintosh computer that uses an IDE-style hard disk drive or that runs Apple Macintosh System 7.5.1 or later.

= MORE INFORMATION =

This disk image replaces the original Works Setup Disk 1, the Install disk, that is included with Microsoft Works 3.0a for the Macintosh. Use the disk image, to install Works 3.0a on an Apple Macintosh computer that uses an IDE-style hard disk drive or on a computer running Apple Macintosh System 7.5.1 or later.

NOTE: For the disk image to work correctly, you must have Microsoft Works 3.0a for the Macintosh. If you do not have Works 3.0a, you can order a set of Setup disks by contacting Microsoft Product Support Services at (425) 635-7160. To verify that you have Works 3.0a, follow these steps:


 * 1) Locate your original set of Works 3.0 Setup disks. The original set contains five disks.
 * 2) Insert the first disk from your original set of disks. Locate and open the “Read Me Before Installing” file. The first line in the Read Me should read, “Microsoft Works for the Macintosh Version 3.0a Read Me.”

Installing Works 3.0a with the new disk image
To successfully install Works 3.0a on your Macintosh, follow the installation instructions on pages xvii-xix of the “Microsoft Works User’s Guide.” When you are asked to insert the Works Disk 1 – Install disk, mount the disk image and double click the Installer icon.
