•Application Notes: Windows Login Versus EasyMatch QC Login

Use of Windows 2000 and Windows XP is common these days and, in fact, HunterLab's EasyMatch QC software runs exclusively on Windows 2000 and XP platforms, leaving Windows 95 and 98 in the past. Windows 2000 and XP provide increased security and flexibility beyond earlier Windows versions, but they can also make installing and using your HunterLab software a little more complicated. The extensive administrative tools and user privilege options built into Windows must now be considered when setting up your computer to run EasyMatch QC.

What do I need to know before installing my software?
Note: If you will be installing EasyMatch QC-ER, the EasyMatch QC-ER Pre-Installation Wizard available with versions 3.70 and higher will determine all you need to know before installing the software. Refer to your Validation and Compliance Notebook for instructions on using this wizard.

1. The version of Windows you are using. This can most easily be determined by opening Windows Explorer or My Computer and selecting About Windows from the Help menu. The screen that appears will let you know exactly what version of Windows is installed. If you are running Windows XP, 2000, or NT 4.0 or higher, the items in the rest of this Applications Note will concern you.

2. If user accounts and login are being used in Windows. You will know that user accounts are being used for this installation of Windows if you see a screen similar to the following where you are required to enter a user name and password before you can use the computer. If you never see this screen, user accounts are most likely not being used. If you are unsure, ask your supervisor or system administrator. If you or someone else is required to log into Windows before using the computer, the items in the rest of this Applications Note will concern you.

3. What kind of user account you will be using to install the software. A Windows account in the "Administrators" group is required to install EasyMatch QC. You can determine whether your account is part of this group by clicking Start, Settings (in Windows 2000 only), then Control Panel. If you are running Windows XP, click "Switch to Classic View" in the upper left corner of the screen that appears. If "Switch to Category View" is shown, do NOT click. On the right side of the screen, double-click User Accounts (Users and Passwords in Windows 2000). All the user accounts configured for this computer will be shown.
