Loading Catalog Images The Activant Eagle™ Catalog for Windows application allows you to view catalog item images. Images are provided on one or more CDs (a DVD is provided to Ace dealers) labeled “Eagle Catalog Images.” Installation requires approximately 2 GB of disk space available on the C drive of each PC on which images are installed. There are two ways to install the catalog images: •
If you are set up with a Network Master PC and clients, you will need to install the images ONLY on the Network Master PC.
•
If you do not have a Network Master PC and clients, you will need to install the images on each PC running the Eagle Catalog for Windows software.
If you’re not sure how your system is set up, consult the Eagle Advice Line.
Installing Catalog Images from CD Below are the instructions for loading catalog images onto your PC from a CD. If you received multiple CDs, start with the first CD; you will be prompted as to when to insert the other CDs. 1. Place the CD in the Network Master PC’s CD drive if you have the Network Master/Client setup. Otherwise, place the CD in the CD drive of any PC running Eagle Catalog for Windows software. 2. From the desktop, double-click on the “My Computer” icon. The My Computer folder opens. 3. Locate the CD drive icon and double-click on it. A list of files displays. 4. Double-click the “Setup” icon. Make sure to select the “Setup” icon as opposed to the “3 Setup” icon in the file list. A dialog box may display, asking you if you want to install all images, only color images, or only black and white images (line art). If this dialog box does not display, skip to step 6. If the dialog box does display, and you choose the “All images” install, line art (black and white) displays if that is the only image available for an item. If an item has both line art and a color image available, the color image displays. If no image exists, the message “No Image” displays in the item image box. 5. Select the image option you prefer, and click Next. 6. From the “Start Installation” box, click Next. The catalog image load process begins. Depending on your PC, this process may take 5 to 10 minutes. When the installation is complete, the system returns to the file list screen from step 3. Note: At this time, the Status Update Bar that displays on the screen does not update properly; however, this does not affect the loading of the images. 7. Select “File” and “Close” to return to the Windows desktop. The installation is now complete. 8. Remove the CD from the CD drive. 9. Start the Catalog software. If an item has an image, the image displays on the list screen. 10. Repeat steps 1-9 for each PC running the Eagle Catalog for Windows software (unless your system is set up with a Network Master and clients, in which case you’d only need to load images on the Network Master PC).

Installing Catalog Images from a DVD Below are the instructions for loading catalog images onto your PC from a DVD. 1.

Note: If you have an external DVD drive, plug the DVD drive into the appropriate PC. 2. From the desktop, double-click on the “My Computer” icon. The My Computer folder opens. 3.
