Manually Install Images
(NOTE: This procedure does not install or affect Parry Sound Screen Saver Series One or Two installations)

This process is ideal if you prefer to copy selected image files to your computer's hard drive or other storage device. Note, that if you prefer to copy all images to your computer from Series One and/or Series Two, the CD-ROM Distribution Disk contains installation components to make this task easy and quick. Running these installation components will create a folder on your hard drive labelled 'PS_Images'. Using Windows Explorer to manually copy image files allows you to define your own folder names or place the images in existing folders on your hard drive.
