Before you begin:  There are two things you need before you begin the process to install the hotComm software, a

                               username/nickname and a password.  You will find both of these in the welcome email we

                               sent you, confirming your trial membership.

Installation Tips

1. During the installation of hotComm, your firewall may ask if hotComm should be given certain permissions. Be sure to say YES to everything asked and that these permissions should ALWAYS be granted.

2. If you run into any problems at any time during the installation, you may re-start the installation from the beginning. Don’t worry, this will not hurt anything and there is no need to remove the previous installation.

3. After you type “open” or “run” to start the installation process, you should minimize your Web browser to ensure you’ll see all the installation prompts.
