12: CONTINUING AFTER AN ERROR MESSAGE
Most messages are caused by two common errors:
Password incorrect errors
To re-enter a password or re-select an item for unlocking, use the 'Try again' button and start the unlocking process again.
'D' Drive not found errors
The unlocking program is set by default to look for the 'Sassoon Installer CD' in D Drive. This error is displayed because your CD Drive is some other letter - not D. Use 'Browse' to manually select the item to be unlocked from the Drive letter containing the Sassoon Installer CD, which may be labelled E or F or R etc.
Read the TIP below to find out how to do this on your computer.

15: After the items have been unlocked from the CD, the next prompt offers these options:
- Print the instructions for installing fonts
- Exit or Quit the program if there are no further unlocks
- Continue unlocking fonts
If there are no further items to be unlocked you may 'Exit Sassoon Installer now'. You then have the option to 'Scramble' all passwords to prevent unauthorised access or, if you want to keep the passwords visible for your next unlocking session, just choose 'Exit' (Windows) or 'Quit' (Macintosh).
Use the 'Continue unlocking fonts' option either after a failed unlocking session or to unlock different items for which you have passwords.

Running the installer automatically installs fonts during installation of the program.
