Select Correct Power Options In Windows 10

Aim

To make sure the computer shuts down properly. This step is needed for Windows 10 computers only.

Background Information

On computers with Windows 10, by default the computer resumes rather than restarts after shutdown. This can cause problems with FaceReader and associated software like MediaRecorder, and The Observer XT. Therefore, we recommend to make sure that the computer really shuts down.

Procedure

1. Click the Windows icon on your desktop or keyboard and type Control Panel. Then click Power options.
2. Click Choose what the power buttons do.
3. Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
4. Select the following options (both for On battery and Plugged in):
   • When I press the power button – Shut down.
   • When I close the lid – Shut down.
   • Under Shutdown settings deselect the checkboxes Sleep, Hibernate, and Turn on fast startup (recommended).

Install FaceReader

IMPORTANT If your FaceReader license comes with a hardware key, first install FaceReader and then connect the hardware key to your computer, not the other way around.

Procedure

1. Download the installation file (FaceReader 10 Setup.exe) from the MyNoldus portal of the Noldus website (my.noldus.com).
   If you do not have a MyNoldus account yet, you can create one.
2. Double-click the file. If a security message appears, click Run.
3. We recommend to choose Standard as Installation type. Choose Custom if you want to change the folder into which FaceReader is installed, or if you do not want shortcuts on the desktop to the program and the FaceReader Help.
4. Click Next, read the End-User License Agreement carefully, Select I agree, and click Install and then Yes. The installation of FaceReader starts.
5. When the installation of FaceReader is finished, a message appears informing you that installation is complete. Click Launch to start FaceReader, or Close to exit.

Notes

• IMPORTANT Projects saved in FaceReader 10 cannot be opened in earlier versions anymore.
• FaceReader is installed in C:\Program Files\Noldus\FaceReader 10\
• You can install FaceReader 10 next to older versions of FaceReader but we advise to not combine data from projects made in different versions.
• A number of sample images and video files is installed in C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Noldus\FaceReader 10\Examples.
• To install the Stimulus Presentation Tool, see To install the Stimulus Presentation Tool.
• It is not possible to install FaceReader on one computer and access it from another across a network. The program must be installed on the computer where it will be used.
