Installing the CD contents to Your Computer
While the Treasures CD runs well from the CD itself, at the request of users, we have included a utility that will copy the contents of the Chinese Treasures CD to the computer's hard drive, should you so desire. The advantage of this is that the program runs considerably faster and you no longer have to carry a CD with you.
Before running the installation utility, please be advised of the following:
- The install will take between 5 and 20 minutes, depending upon the speed our your computer and its disk drive.
- The program will copy 750 megs of information onto your hard drive (into the folder of your choosing.)
- If you already have a directory entitled Program Files/DBS/Treasures 3.0
or Program Files/DBS/CT2007, you should delete that directory manually.
- A shortcut will be created on your desktop called CT2007.'
- Please ensure the CD is both clean and free from scratches before running the program.

Problems Copying and Running the CD
- Should you make copies for distribution to China, please use only high quality CDs and employ error checking on every CD you create. CD errors are quite common. Please bear in mind that the CD you copy may be multiplied many times over; any error could therefore potentially be replicated to thousands.
- High quality Chinese Treasures CDs can be ordered for free distribution at www.DbsBible.org.
- Be aware that newer CD-Rs will sometimes not work on older CD-Rom devices (built before 1998).
- Many computers have 'auto run' disabled. To enable 'Auto Run CDs', click on 'My Computer', right click on your CD Drive and enable 'Auto Run'.
We invite your suggestions and comments. If you find any errors, please forward the information to comments@digitalbiblesociety.org.
