• To start the installation process, double click the 'Communicator 4.6 w/Calendar' icon on your desktop. This should open a screen with several icons in it. Double click on the icon that reads *Start Here*.

• This will open a small screen called 'Netscape Communicator 4.6' with a button along the center bottom that reads 'Continue'. Click on this 'Continue' button.

• The next screen will inform you that 'This installation recommends you restart your computer after installing this software', however, you do not need to restart your computer at this time. Just click 'Continue'.

• When the computer restarts, a screen might automatically appear asking you to sign up for Netscape AOL Instant Messenger. Check the box at the bottom which says 'Do not show this again' and click 'No'. If this screen does not pop up, do not worry. Just proceed to the next step.

  Step 3 - Setting up your Profile

This next step is a procedure that will take 10 steps to complete. In the right bottom corner of the first screen, it says 'Screen 1 of 10'. In each screen, there will be a note that tells you what screen number you are in.

• Screen 1 of 10 - The first screen that comes up will read 'New Profile Setup'. Click 'Next'.
  
  
• Screen 2 of 10 - This screen is called 'New Profile Setup'. Next to where it says Your Name enter your real name, or the name of your business. Next to E-mail Address enter your BestWeb E-mail address, in lower case letters. Your E-mail address is your BestWeb username followed by '@bestweb.net'. For instance if your username is 'john1234', your E-mail address would be 'john1234@bestweb.net'. Click 'Next' to continue.
  
  
• Screen 3 of 10 - The next screen should ask for your Profile Name. Fill in your real name and click 'Next' to continue.
