2.Hardware/Software Requirements.
Chronos Clock runs under Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista with 8 MB free disc space. If you wish to use the Internet time synchronization function then a suitable connection via a modem or LAN must be available. The use of the Microsoft Agent requires additional software installed; see http://www.rinnov.com/in/index.php?/FAQs/Chronos-Clock-FAQ-s/Chronos-MS-Agent.html   for more information.

3.Installing Chronos
If you have downloaded Chronos as a ZIP file then use a decompression utility such as WinZip or PkUnzip to unpack the ZIP file into a suitable directory (such as C:\Program Files\Rainbow Innovations\Chronos). Run the installation program setup_chronos.exe, and then follow the instructions. If you already have a version of Chronos installed and wish to update it, then it is not necessary to remove the old version first. However you must ensure you shut Chronos Clock down first, or the new installation may fail

4.Removing Chronos
Shut down Chronos before removing. Go to “Add/Remove Programs” in the control panel and remove Chronos from there.
