|
When you install Propel Accelerator it automatically becomes
active. If you see an accelerator icon in your Windows taskbar (near the system
clock), Propel Accelerator is active.
This icon:
- Tells you that Propel Accelerator is running, ready to accelerate your Internet
experience whenever you want to browse the web.
- Tells you the state of Propel Accelerator on your system: enabled, disabled,
actively browsing, not enabled due to a high-speed connection, or that the
service is temporarily unavailable.
- Provides access to the Propel Accelerator menu.
If Propel Accelerator is installed but you do not see the Propel Accelerator
icon in the taskbar, it is not active and not accelerating your Internet experience.
You can make it active from the Windows Start menu:
Start -> Programs -> {Propel Accelerator program group} -> Start Propel
Accelerator
