Installing the Pando Extra for Skype

Before You Install
Make sure your computer is Pando-friendly. You need:

• Windows XP (original, Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2)
• Skype version 3.0 or later
• 256MB or more of RAM
• At least 5MB of free disk space
• A broadband connection to the Internet.

How to Install
It's simple.

1. Make sure you have Skype version 3.0 installed. Click here to get it.
2. In Skype's Tools menu, choose Do More > Manage Extras
3. Click Sharing in the left sidebar. If you don't see the Pando Extra in there, click the Options link at the bottom of the sidebar. Under the Gallery Updates tab, click Update Now. Now check in the Sharing section. You should see the Pando Extra.
4. Click the green arrow in the Pando Extra box. The installer for the Pando Extra and the Pando application will begin downloading.
5. Agree to the terms of the license agreement (if you do). Check the box and click the Yes button. The installation will complete.

When Pando is installed the following directories are created on your computer:

• c:\prog files\pando networks\pando This stores the Pando Application and related files
• c:\CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA\Pando\Pando Files\ This stores the pando.save file and copies of all .pando files.
• A directory called "My Pando Packages" is created in your "My Documents" directory. This is where your Pando Packages and downloaded files will be kept.

Once the Pando Extra is installed, the Pando application will run in the background. If you want to quit the Pando application, click the Pando icon in your system tray, and choose Shut Down Pando.
