Frequently
Asked Questions.
Q)
When I tried to run DriveFit, some of the information appeared to be
beyond the edges of the screen. What should I do?
A) You need to
adjust your screen resolution to a setting of at least 600 X 800. (Or
higher)
Q)
My computer just meets the minimum system requirements. Will DriveFit
run the same as on faster computers?
A) The
demonstrations and transitions will run slower, but the actual tasks
will run correctly.
Q)
I have a laptop with a touch-pad. Will DriveFit even work?
A) Yes, it will,
but some tasks will be extremely difficult to do. The assessments
however, are based on how you perform and only you. Any disadvantage
that the touch-pad causes will be carried throughout the tasks evenly.
Q)
I have a track-ball type of mouse. How can I use DriveFit?
A) It will work
fine, although some tasks will be more difficult.
Q)
I have an internet connection, yet the software doesn’t seem
to be able to find it. What should I do?
A) First thing to
check is if your connection is actually working. If it is, you might
have to configure your firewall to allow DriveFit to connect. If the
firewall is not configurable, then you will have to temporarily disable
the firewall. DriveFit will not connect through some
firewalls. If
your firewall prompts you first, then choose to allow the connection.
In addition, if you have software that monitors installation type
activity on your computer, either choose to allow the installation, or
shut that off as well.
In some cases
DriveFit will not recognize your internet connection at all.
In that case choose 'not connected' from the options presented and then
send an email to drivefitsupport@yd.com
with your user code and the
10 digit number DriveFit displayed on-screen after clicking 'next'.
Q)
I wasn’t actually connected at the time I installed DriveFit
and selected “no internet connection”, now what?
A) If you have a
connection to the internet, (but have not actually done any training)
the simplest thing to do is go into DriveFit and select “new
user”. You will then be presented with the 3 choices of
connection again. This time select either modem or permanent
connection. Everything should work fine from there. If you have already
completed some training, at later stages within the program, you will
be asked if you wish to connect to the database. If you select yes, the
program will instruct you to connect to the internet as you usually do,
then select next to continue.
Q)I
purchased the product on-line but I have lost
my User Code. Is there
any way to find out what it is?
A) The code is
located on the back of the Guide Booklet included with the software. If
you have lost that booklet then send an email to drivefitsupport@yd.com
for assistance. You must include your name, address, phone number and
if you can recall it, the approximate date of your purchase.
Q)
My Instructor gave me this copy of DriveFit. How do I get a
“User Code”?
A) Contact your YD
Centre and they can provide you with the User Code.
Q)
When installing DriveFit, I forgot to write down the
“DriveFit” number. How can I look this up?
A) The software
will not unlock without a valid password. Since you don’t
have one yet simply start DriveFit and from the registration page
select New User. You will then be asked what type of connection that
you have. When you select Not Connected the DriveFitTM number will
appear again. Write it down and call your YD Centre.
Q)
I installed DriveFit on my (fathers, mothers, friends, etc.) computer.
Now I have another computer that I would like to install the software
on. Can I do this?
A) No.
DriveFit’s password is specific to the machine it is
originally installed upon. Your password from the original installation
will not work on a different computer. If however you feel that you really should be
allowed to install DriveFit onto the other computer send an email to
drivefitsupport@yd.com. You must
include your user code and explain why you should be allowed to install DriveFit on the other machine.
Q)
I received an error message indicating that I do not have enough free
space. What should I do now?
A) You can remove
programs from your computer that you rarely if ever use. Please use
"Add/Remove" programs to ensure a proper uninstall. You could also
consider adding another hard drive to your computer.
Q)
I don’t think my assessment results really represent me. I
would like to do it over. How can I do this?
A) Unfortunately
you can’t do the assessment over again. One thing to consider
about your initial assessment. It is most likely accurate. Although you
might think that you are better in one of the areas than your
assessment would suggest, you must remember that DriveFit is simply
assessing your strengths and weaknesess. What you have as a weakness,
might be stronger than somebody else’s highest scores.
Q)
When I printed out my assessment, there was an assessment code just below my user code. Is this number important?
A) Yes it is.
Should, for any reason you ever need to re-install DriveFit , this code
will allow you to take the same training program, although you do have
to start from the beginning.
Q)
I installed Drivefit and everything seemed to go fine until entering my
user code / password combination. A red "X" keeps appearing next to my
user code but I'm positive I've typed it in correctly.
A) If there is an
error in either the user code, or the password, or both then
the "X" will appear next to the user code box. Check to ensure that
both are correct.
Q)
I was able to log in the first time but since then I am unable to log
back into DriveFit.
A) This problem is
caused by the operating system, not DriveFit. On a computer with
Windows XP (or sometimes Windows 2000) the default installation
directory remains a "read only" folder. DriveFit needs to be able to
write files into the appropriate directories. It is required that
you are logged in on an "Administrator" account to use
DriveFit. (It must be installed by an Administrator as well) If this did not solve your problem you may need to
install DriveFit into one of your user account directories.
You can also consider changing the attributes of the default
installation folder. Be certain that you are comfortable with this type
of procedure before attempting it. We recommend that you search for
assistance at the Microsoft website.
Q)
How do I uninstall DriveFit?
A) Use the
"Add/Remove Programs" option within the Control Panel.
