Upgrading and Repairing Atlantis

Upgrading Atlantis

Newer versions of Atlantis are often posted on our site. They always include new and improved features. Your version of Atlantis might not be up-to-date (the Help | About... dialog of Atlantis shows which version of Atlantis you have). We recommend keeping your version of Atlantis always up-to-date. Please check for updates on a regular basis. Note that by subscribing to our newsletter (Atlantis Mailing List), you will always be kept informed about any new release of Atlantis.

Now here is how to upgrade your version of Atlantis:

• If you are using the standard version of Atlantis installed on a hard disk (normally to the "C:\Program Files\Atlantis" folder), you can either
  • Go online, open Atlantis and run the Help | Check for Updates... menu command. Atlantis will contact its home site and tell you if any new version is available. If it is the case, the download and upgrade will be automatic. Simply follow onscreen instructions.
    Note that Atlantis should be allowed to exchange information with its home Web site. Your firewall should be configured accordingly.
  • Go to our site, check if a newer version might not be available, and if so, download the standard setup of Atlantis. Launch the downloaded setup, and follow the onscreen instructions.
    
    
• If you are using the standard version of Atlantis installed on a memory flash, download the latest standard setup of Atlantis Word Processor from our site, and run the setup on your system. As the destination folder, specify the current home folder of Atlantis on your flash drive, and complete the setup.
• If you are using the U3-smart version of Atlantis, you can either
  • Run the Help | Check for Updates... menu command from U3-Atlantis.
  • Go to our site, download the U3-smart setup of Atlantis, and launch it on your system. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Repairing Atlantis

When you install Atlantis, you can choose not to install some of the Atlantis optional components. But you might want to install some or all of them at a later date. This is done by launching the Setup file of Atlantis (again) and checking the appropriate boxes on the Select Components page of the Setup. Note that you can always (re)download the Atlantis Setup file from the Atlantis site.

If you accidentally deleted or made undesirable changes to important files of Atlantis, you can also use the Setup file of Atlantis to reinstall missing or damaged components. Simply launch the Setup file of Atlantis, and check the appropriate boxes on the Select Components page of the Setup. Note that you might need to remove (delete) the corrupt files from your disk first. Use Windows Explorer or any alternative file manager.
