INSTALLING OPERA 

The Wise Installation Wizard will take you through the following steps 
(please note that you use the "Next" and "Previous" buttons to move back 
and forward between them): 

"Welcome" 

Welcomes you to the Wise Installation Wizard and Opera. 

"Software Licence Agreement" 

This is the software licence agreement which must be accepted before you 
may install Opera. Read this agreement carefully! 

"Select Destination Directory" 

This is where you select where on your hard drive you want to place 
Opera. If you do not want Opera to be placed in the suggested catalogue, 
press "Browse" and browse your way to a suitable catalogue (or you can 
just type in the path). When you're done, press "Ok" and continue the 
installation. 

"Icon Creation" 

The installer program will place shortcuts to Opera on the Desktop and 
in the Start Menu by default. Uncheck the boxes if you do not wish to 
have these shortcuts created. 

"Select Group" 

Here you select where on the Start Menu to place Opera. Opera will place 
itself in its own slot by default, but you can decide to place it in 
another slot if you want. Select one of those displayed or type in your 
own. 

"Ready to Install!" 

When you press "Next" in this menu, Opera will be installed the way 
you've decided it in the previous steps. Please note you can always 
press the "Cancel" button up to this point to abort the installation. 

"Installation Completed!" 

The installation is completed. Press the "Finish" button to close the 
Wise Installation Wizard. 


STARTING OPERA FOR THE FIRST TIME 

In order to start Opera, double click the Opera icon on your desktop or 
press the Opera icon on the Start Menu. 

Opera 5.0 is free, but is still possible to pay the licensing fee to Opera Software to enable the ad-free version of the Opera browser. Registered users of Opera 4.x versions do not need to upgrade their license, as Opera 5.0 is included 
in that license.

For more information on using Opera, please read the Help, accessible 
from "Help/Contents...", or by clicking "F1" on your keyboard. 


PURCHASING A LICENSE FOR YOUR COPY OF OPERA 

In order to purchase a license for your copy of Opera, please use the 
form on our Web site at: 

        http://www.opera.com/order/registeropera.html

for convenience. You may purchase Opera using a Credit Card when using 
the above Web site. For information on our alternative methods of 
purchasing Opera, please visit our Web site at: 

        http://www.opera.com/order/alternative.html 

When your order has been successfully completed, an e-mail will be sent 
to you containing your Registration Code. Go to "Help/Register Opera..." 
and write in your name and your Registration Code. "Company" is 
optional. 

You should copy and paste your code rather than type it in, as it may or  
may not contain foreign characters, as well as characters which may 
resemble each other in certain fonts. Please try to either right-click and 
select "copy" or "paste", or you could try using the keyboard shortcut 
"CTRL" + "C" to copy and "CTRL" + "V" to paste. 


FURTHER ASSISTANCE 

If you are in need of further assistance with your Opera, we encourage 
you to read through Opera's Help system. The Help system is accessed 
either through "Help/Contents..." on the Opera menu, or by pressing "F1" 
on your keyboard.
