This page shows some procedures for various specific tasks. It is recommended that you download an updated version of the program before you undertake some of these tasks:

Download an updated version of Tölvuorðabókin.

PROCEDURES

Installing onto a network

1. Please use the CD to install the software package onto your network server. This can be done from the server itself or from a workstation that has full access rights to the location (drive and folder) that will be used.
2. Install an updated version from the floppy disk included in the package or, better still, download the latest version from the link at the top of this page.
3. From each workstation, find the location of the installed program and run the file Setup.exe. This will install the software on the client.
4. If you prefer to achieve a "silent setup", which means that the setup program will run without any user intervention requests on clients, please read further instructions in the Readme.wri file located in the program's folder.

Remove Tölvuorðabókin

Below is a quick way to remove Tölvuorðabókin. The procedure does not completely remove everything. If you need to do that, see next procedure.

1. Use the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel (Start-button, Settings, Control Panel) to remove everything that the uninstallation program is capable of removing.
2. The uninstallation routine will probably report that it couldn't remove all components. This is due to the fact that when you run Tölvuorðabókin it creates some files, such as the supplementary dictionary, that the uninstallation just shouldn't remove, because a supplementary dictionary can conceivably contain some additions from the user. You must, therefore, remove these files by hand if you don't want them anymore. Start Windows Explorer, find the folder that contains Tölvuorðabókin (usually C:\Program Files\Ordabok or C:\Ordabok) and delete the files from the folder. Note that the file Auka.dal may contain dictionary entries from the user, but if you are confident that you haven't modified or created new entries in the program, you can delete this file as well.

It should be noted that even if you remove Tölvuorðabókin and then install it again, this does not subtract from the number of times you are allowed to register your licence. Your licences only decrease if the CD-number is registered on a different computer or on the same computer after Windows been removed and reinstalled.

Remove Tölvuorðabókin completely

1. From Tölvuorðabókin, use Kostir-Taka Tölvuorðabókina út úr Word to remove the program's menu commands from the Tools menu in Word.
2. Use the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel (Start-button, Settings, Control Panel) to remove everything that the uninstallation program is capable of removing.
3. The uninstallation routine will probably report that it couldn't remove all components. This is due to the fact that when you run Tölvuorðabókin it creates some files, such as the supplementary dictionary, that the uninstallation just shouldn't remove, because a supplementary dictionary can conceivably contain some additions from the user. You must, therefore, remove these files by hand if you don't want them anymore. Start Windows Explorer, find the folder that contains Tölvuorðabókin (usually C:\Program Files\Ordabok or C:\Ordabok) and delete the files from the folder. Note that the file Auka.dal may contain dictionary entries from the user, but if you are confident that you haven't modified or created new entries in the program, you can delete this file as well.
4. Delete the file Ordaalda.ini from the Windows folder. This file contains path information, and it's especially important to remove this file if you're going to install the program to a different location in your computer.
5. If you're going to install the program to a different location, you can now install it and choose a new location.

It should be noted that even if you remove Tölvuorðabókin and then install it again, this does not subtract from the number of times you are allowed to register your licence. Your licences only decrease if the CD-number is registered on a different computer or on the same computer after Windows been removed and reinstalled.

Licence Registration

1. Please select the menu Hjálp and click on Leyfisskráning.
2. Select the button Internet (if you want to register through the Internet) or the button Hringja (if you want to register with the aid of a service representative).
3. If you selected Hringja, skip to item 6 below.
4. Please type the requested information about you or your company into the window that appears now. This part of the registration is not mandatory but it establishes a connection between us and you as a user and buyer. It's also a good way to ensure that you get future updates at update prices. Confirm the registration with the button Skrá or use the button Hætta við to skip.
5. Type the CD number on your software package into the fields in the next window. The press the Skrá button to confirm. If you get a message that reads "Skráningin hefur verið gerð..." the registration was successfully completed.
6. If you selected the Hringja button, you will see a window that shows the phone number you must call. If you're calling from outside Iceland you must prefix the number with the Icelandic country code 354. You will have to be at your computer when dialling. A person in the service department will answer and take you through the rest of the procedure. Please note that office hours are from 9 to 5.

Possible solutions to problems that can't be resolved by other means

Here you'll find several general solutions that may solve problems that aren't addressed in Alnet's documentation. The solutions are listed by priority.

• Download an updated version of Tölvuorðabókin.
• Restart the computer and try starting the program again.
• Delete the file Ordaalda.ini from the Windows folder (or Winnt folder).
• Delete the file Auka.dal from the program's folder, if you haven't made any additions to the dictionary.
