Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

This comprehensive training program couldn’t be easier to use – pick the topic you want to study, then sit back and watch as an expert shows you how it’s done, talking you through each step as it happens on screen. Because you’re watching Windows XP in action you’ll find it much easier to remember where the cursor went, and which options to select.

STEP 1 – Choose your category
The program is divided into ‘easy to work through’ chapters. Here we’ve chosen to learn about Windows Media Player 8.

STEP 2 – Pick a topic
Each chapter is split into easy-to-master segments which you can study in any order.

STEP 3 – Study the basics
Read through a short description of the key points – so that you’ll follow the demonstration that appears next.

STEP 4 – Watch how the experts do it
Sit back and watch as the program shows you exactly what to do. As the screen video plays, the tutor’s voice talks you through each step. Watch the lesson once to get a feel for what’s going on, then play it again to make sure you’ve remembered everything.
