How to install Presto

Download the Presto software
Double-click on the Presto file you downloaded to start the installation wizard.
Follow the wizard instructions. Presto installs in C:\Presto by default.
When installation is complete (this takes several minutes), restart your computer.
When your computer restarts, select Xandros Presto from the Windows boot menu that appears. (If you make no selection, Windows starts by default after 30 seconds.)

Note: The first time you run Presto, it needs to figure out what network connections, video cards, and other system hardware are inside your computer so it can configure itself properly. Presto is pretty good at detecting the many combinations of technology that exist. However, there’s a chance that your particular computer contains something that Presto doesn’t recognize.

If you see an error message when you run Presto for the first time, please complete this form so our support team can help you resolve this issue. If you do get an error, restart again, choose to run Windows, and uninstall Presto using the Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows.

To uninstall Presto, simply boot to Windows and click Start > Xandros Presto > Uninstall Xandros Presto.
