To
Install
Run
the installer, Intelli-MAX_Proto_YourLanguage_Setup.exe,
and then follow the prompts.
Note:
Some antivirus software
can severely affect the speed at which
the software is installed or un-installed. This may cause the
installer to proceed slowly and appear to be locked up. The
solution
is to either give it the time it needs, or temporarily disable your
antivirus software to allow the installer to run at full speed.
To
Remove
- To remove the main software:
- From the Windows "Start" menu or search bar, type in "Remove"
to find the "Add or Remove Programs" tool built into Windows.
- Locate "OMAX Intelli-MAX Software", click on it, and choose
"Uninstall".
- Optional:
- Once the software is removed, there will be residual files in
the C:\Users\Public\OMAX_Corporation\AllUserData\
folder. In here are configuration files for the software, machine
history and sample files. In addition, there are many other files
that you may wish to keep permanently, including scripts, drawings,
tool paths, and other files. If you do not care to keep
these things, you may optionally delete this folder
to free up the disk space. Beware that
if you do so, you are
deleting files you may want later. Therefore, it is recommended
to just leave this folder alone.
Note
on OMAX Monitor
The OMAX Monitor will automatically
update to the latest version. Depending on the User Account Control
settings on the PC, a message may display:
"Allow this App to make changes to the PC?"
If the message displays, click Yes.
