Installing Vegas
1. Insert the Vegas CD-ROM. The Vegas 4.0 Setup screen appears (if CD-ROM AutoPlay is enabled).
If CD-ROM AutoPlay is not enabled, click the button and choose
Run. In the Run window that
appears, type the CD-ROM drive’s letter and add
:\setup.exe. Click OK to start the installation.
2. Click Install Vegas 4.0. The installation process begins.
3. Follow the screen prompts and enter the necessary information when required.

Installer and then asks you to restart your system.
