For increased performance the DREM disks can be copied to a local hard drive. Below are some simple instructions for copying the whole disk to your local C: drive ( to copy to another drive just substitute C: with the letter (eg. F:) for your drive).

The following instructions are for Windows machines but the basic principles should be apparent to Mac and Unix users.

• Create a new folder on your local drive
• Select the CD/DVD drive containing the DREM disk
• Choose Edit: Select All (Ctrl A)
• Choose Edit: Copy (Ctrl C)
• Select the new folder on your local drive
• Choose Edit: Paste (Ctrl V)
• After all the files have been copied the browser can be started by opening the file "StageXX.htm" (where XX represents the stage number).
• To create a shortcut to start the DREM program from your desktop

Instructions for Extracting Images for Use in Presentations

Individual files, including all images (.jpg), animations (flash) and 3D-reconstruction files (Winsurf .xdv files), can be copied directly off the disks for use in any presentations. To use composite screen captures, for example, labeled sections with the section level indicator, follow the instructions below.

These instructions assume you are extracting a screen capture for use in PowerPoint and have access to an image processing program such a Adobe Photoshop.

• Open The DREM disk and navigate to the screen that you want to use.
• Press the Print Screen key (usually at the top right of the keyboard).
• Open PhotoShop.
• Choose File: New (Ctrl N)
• Choose Edit: Paste (Ctrl V)
• The screen capture should be pasted into the new window. It will have to be cropped and adjusted to show whatever details are necessary.
• Final images should be saved as jpegs.
• Jpeg images can then be inserted into PowerPoint or other programs.
